The SqueezePlay user interface doesn't scale well to anything close to full screen on a PC. I created an 800x480 skin a while ago to fit a car PC touchscreen, which worked fine. But with the purely list nature of the user interface, I can't imagine what you'd do with anything much larger. It would

Castalla... do you run Squeezeplay "maximized" ? I realised that if we set the launch option in windows to make the software run "maximized", that it will not be "re-sized" at its full size but only occupy it without resizing so most of the screen isn't being used. Its rather ugly. Might be what

You can try reducing the alsa buffer time in squeezelite. I have good synching results with "-a 10:4::1", and even 8. I think the player defaults to 20. If you go too low, you'll get audio glitches. If I read the 10:4 right, it means alsa sends an interrupt and reads its buffer every 2,5 milliseco
