Hey all, I got a Zune 80 for Christmas, and it seems like Microsofts ugly software is causing problems - whenever it downloads Podcasts, it takes all the network bandwidth. I can't schedule the downloads, so they happen whenever.. and it's causing the WAF of my SB to go down... down... down...
My Zune is connected to my HTPC, which is also my Slimserver. It's not a CPU issue, it's purely a network priority issue - it's taking all my 1.5 MBit connection to download the podcast, causing Pandora et al to stop dead. I turned on QoS on my router, I added highest priority to the SB3's MAC address, and it's still happening. I increased the buffer amount on the SB3, but I don't think that will help. If I give priority to the Slimserver, it will also give prioirty to the Zune since they share the same MAC address (same machine). I don't know what the Zune downloads over, but I assume it's port 80... hmm.. what port does Pandora or Internet Radio use to stream - can I set that packet to a high priority... ? Is there a way to speed-limit (like on uTorrent - you can throttle download speeds) programs like the Zune application so it's not so much a network hog? Any suggestions, thanks! -Dan HTPC: Windows XP MCE 2005, Slimserver 7 beta -- plympton ------------------------------------------------------------------------ plympton's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12955 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41496 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
