Just tested with my ethernet connected TOUCH. at 10,000 kbps it was 100%. Also tested with SqueezePlay running on my WIFI connected laptop. Also 100% at 10,000 kbps. Not sure why my old style players show less than 100% at > 500kbps. same network, same server, same router, even swapped out so

I did some checkiong on the plugin. It used to use UDP but was rewritten to support Touch and Radio and now uses TCP. In the plugin there is this line regarding max rate to test and this line is used for any player except Radio, Touch and Squeezeplay. Code: re

Just a thought but are you absolutely sure it was using the Ethernet connection. Unlike most devices just plugging in a cable won't work, you need to reset the SB and reselect the cable connection. Apologies if you already know this. Sent from my HUAWEI Y300-0100 using Tapatalk --

Thanks for the suggestions. Things are working better for me now. Here is what I've learned. First, there is a "network test" plugin that supposedly allows you test the quality of the network connection between an SB and the LMS. It doesn't appear to work properly. It shows no packet loss for dat
