First let me thank all of you (@matka, @bpa, @mnyb) for helping me try
and track this problem down. I had secretly hoped that @matka's
suggestion of buffering would solve all my problems but last night
proved that this problem still exists (at least with buffer set to the
default of 3 seconds).
Are you in the UK or outside the UK. If outside the UK are you using
some sort of VPN to get good quality UK stream ?
1. The stream is not obviously WMA as if you are outside the UK WMA
streams are 48kbps and AAC streams are 56kbps. Radiotime can insert
their own metadata so presence of

I've changed the iPlayer settings to WMA and turned off the allow

No transcoding with WMA and stream will be direct from BBC to player.
For UK
Ok that's interesting. I don't actually know. I think if I go down and
dig into the remote's menu system it will tell me what type of stream
but is there a way from the browser interface to answer this question?
Also, why is it that AAC would be transcoded to Flac? That seems
wasteful as you
One fact neither the duet receiver or boom do AAC natively ,so the
server has to transcode , that would not solve your problem ,but just so
you know.
And why lossles you cant transcode one lossy format to another lossy
without losing soundqality (sometimes it gets spectacularly bad ) .

What format will initially depend somewhat on the menu you
I have a duet and boom in the house and the boom works 100% fine but the
duet is suffering from re-buffering problems that are confounding me. In
most cases the Duet and Boom are tuned to a BBC Radio 4 stream (the same
config) and the Boom never chokes but the Duet does periodically and by
I had a similar problem when using qobuz plugin, duet and transporter
would badly buffer.
On some advice I found on this forums I have changed MP3 streaming
method for the player from Direct Streaming to Proxied Steaming and
it worked, even when qobuz plugin was streaming in flac... I believe
Looks promising. I had noticed that under Advanced Network Radio
Station Buffer (seconds) I could move the setting but it seemed to have
zero impact, maybe I needed to switch to proxied streaming as you
suggest for that to make a difference. Anyway, will give this a try and
report back on how
Which format are you playing the BBC stream AAC or WMA ?
If it is AAC - then the LMS will be transcoding to Flac and you may be
having network or processor loading problems. If it is AAC then proxy
or buffer settings changes won't be effective.
Thanks for the input. I did reset the modem and router and found this to
be the solution. Thank you again for the help.

After adding a Touch to my system and upgrading software to 7.6.1 (was
on 7.4) I experienced the same problem with constant buffering. Tried a
whole bunch of stuff, but what finally worked was simply unplugging my
modem and router, then reconnecting. That was 2 weeks ago, no more
buffering
Hello, I have been having a never b4 problem with my setup in which my
music gives me constant buffering problems. I have the Boom system
using my macbook pro 10.5.8 with wireless streaming. I used to be able
to play all of my music with any issues but no longer.
Now I noticed the problem around
I'd suggest starting with some basic WiFi troubleshooting.
Some very basic WiFi tweaks (1-5 require admin access to your router to
try these simple changes):
1. use a unique SSID name (name of your network/router)
2. if using a G WiFi: set WiFi to G only (turns off a b modes)
3. if using an
Thanks for replying, I have tried to find the source of my problem and
have been working on this for about 8 weeks, including getting support
from Slimserver tech guys, but we cannot establish the cause of the
problem. I have dowloaded thedbPowerAmp and will give it a try

I have been using Slimserver successfully for a number of years and
recently upgraded to Sqeezecenter. I am now experiencing buffering
problems, basically music plays but fades then starts again etc. I have
not changed any connections and my Slimserver is connected by Cat 5
cable. I recorded my
I think it would be best to find the source of your problem rather than
to convert all your files.
However if you do go down the route of converting then the best format
to convert to would be FLAC. FLAC is a lossless format, so you'll keep
the full quality of your lossless WMA files.
