One thought (not terribly technical) would be to force it to convert to any even lower quality temporarily (like 32kbps). If it is transcoding at some point the sound will be noticeably terrible. Once you can confirm that, you could then turn the bitrate back up to 128 or whatever you are happy

I can't see anything relevant in the log (set to Info) after switching to bitrate 128kbps. Ditto after I tried switching SB Player to Net Bandwidth = Low. Then I used Performance Monitor to monitor the VPN virtual adapter and for each track it peaks at 1Mbps for 20-30sec but then drops to a few

As Mnyb mentions, you can limit the bitrate for your player in LMS, and flac will be converted to lower bitrate mp3 on the fly while playing. It must be the most important thing to do: LMS -> Settings -> Player -> Choose your player on your Android client + Audio settings on the two dropdowns in

Hi I'd like to have occasional access to my LMS from an Android device but it will most likely be from a spotty wifi connection abroad (or cellular/mobile data) so I'd like for the data to be economical (given my library is all flac). Ive got ZeroTier One VPN loaded onto my LMS Windows machine
