Having committed myself to a squeezebox touch based infrastructure just
before Logitech pulled the plug, I'm obviously very motivated for this
to succeed. My main drive is ultimate audio excellence for my main
system, where I use an Audiolab / Lakewest MDAC, but I also have SBT and
Jogglers with
I have now got my Wandboard and have installed CommunitySqueeze and once
I'd deleted the ALSA parameters, it plays though my Audiolab MDAC via a
hub, and sounds great, BUT although it will play 24/96 files, it seems
to be coming out as 24bit 44.1kHz.
I'm not sure where I set the max sample rate.
I stream radio four in the morning, and at dinner time. I have a decent
internet connection, but I get constant rebuffering. This is the case
when running LMS on a high spec PC and on my current PiCoreplayer setup
on a RPi. I stream Tidal all evening without a glitch. Is it just a
case that th
LMS version 7.9 running on PiCorePlayer on RPi 3, but I also have LMS
7.9 on Windows 7 PC and the problem is the same.
I've tried tune-in radio URL, and via the BBC app from mysqueezebox.com
not sure how I'm transcoding.
I'm in the UK. The LMS I'm running at present hasn't got any plugins

I tried the MP3 stream this morning, and it was just the same. Players
are both wireless and wired, and that makes no difference either.
Does anyone have a setup that gives reliable radio4 that I could copy?
I think that if everyone had this issue, we'd have a lot of people
shouting about it!
ISP is A&A and they have done some optimisation at their end to help
streaming, but to no avail, we can stream films etc without a glitch,
Tidal is perfect, but BBC R4 is awful.

I'd assumed the stream from the mysqueezebox.com app, and the tunein
urls were different, but thinking about it, they are possibly not. I'll
install the iplayer plugin (I'm not sure if I've tried that before, but
it's worth a go...)

I've installed iplayer and now I'm getting a 339k AAC stream. I'll
probably not find out how well it works until Monday morning...

Update: Using the iPlayer plugin on my RPi system is definitely better,
despite using a higher bitrate. It has just stopped one this morning,
but otherwise it's relatively glitch-free, though not quite as stable as
Tidal etc.
So, I think there is very little bandwidth at the BBC end for their M
Do I have the facility to choose DASH over HLS via the iPlayer plugin?
How do I know which one I'm using? the LMS web interface says AAC, but
that is just the codec - can't recall it saying HLS or DASH, but I'm at
work, so can't (easily) look at it!
I have alarms that wake up my SBT in the morning, but I have to set
sleep manually when I go to bed. If I forget, I wake up in the early
hours when Radio Paradise puts on something less melodic! Is there any
way to set an "alarm" that puts the machine to sleep at a pre-programmed
time.

Amazon have just launched Amazon Unlimited with Hi Res playback. Would
be really tempting if someone could make a plugin or app that works as
well as the Tidal one on MySqueezebox.com - Amazon being such a big
player will probably kill off the likes of Tidal and Quobuz as they
won't be able to c
