You should see buffer fullness on the Now Playing display, so change your screensaver to Now Playing or hit the NP key on the remote. -- andyg andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this

Right, well whatever the reason, all I have to do here is press the "play" button on the remote and the SB wakes up, fills buffer, and starts playing. My question is whether there is some way for the SB to do that w/o human (or at least my) intervention. -- rocket j squirrel -- rocket j squirr

What could be happening when you get the "stuck" message is that a TCP/IP connection has stalled but playing data hasn't started so SB is waiting in a state waiting for more data from server. The Radio Station Timeout won't kick in because a connection has been setup. TCP/IP won't reset the link

Right -- thanks. I gather, then, that there is no way to get the SB to restart a temporarily stopped stream, at least with SN. The manual, "WTF?!? The stupid SB is stopped again? Where's the remote?" technique is pretty much the option, then. No firmware update with a "if buffer is stuck at 5% fu

I presume you are using Squeezenetwork so your options are limited. Try increasing the Radio Station buffer from 3 secs to the max 30. This will increase the initial time taken to start playing as 30 secs will be buffered but if you get gaps in the stream, the SB will have a larger buffer which

Well, I'd like a larger buffer, too, but that's not as useful to me as not having to manually press the "play" button whenever the SB gets stuck on an interrupted stream. I mean, why do I have to do it? Can't the box check periodically its own darn self? -- rocket j squirrel -- rocket j squirr

My favorite radio station tends to drop its feed every so often, causing my SB to display "Rebuffering...47%" or similar. Mostly, it will stay like that all day unless I pick up the remote and press the Play button, and it will then usually grab music, fill the buffer, and start playing again. How
