For the moment, I am okay with the rudimentary internal server. But of course it's nice to know that we can switch to an external server with extended possibilities (and extended power consumption :-( ) later. We will see - maybe the expectations raise after some time... And I will definitely

I don't have this problem since I wired my Touch , just a data point . I also run 7.6 beta ? maybe the fix is in that release. My server is also wired an 1,2GHz via-epia x86 mobo so not superfast,but not glacially slow as an old NAS. Btw don't use the 7.6 beta if your are not prepared for some

The problem is this stream is actually WAV (!) wrapped in ASF. Which we don't support obviously. Maybe it wouldn't be that hard to support in SqueezePlay though... -- andyg andyg's Profile:
