I did some network tests loading iperf on both, server and player (in this case a Raspi). What emerged was that the bandwith was ok from the LMS host to the player, but not the other way round: 45 Mbits vs 478Kbits. I tested my laptop on the same cable, just in case, and it was ok, so it must ha

CPU is around 5%.. one last thought... even if cable connected, my SB3 and my Touch show not ideal scores running the network test at 1000kbps, and even 500kbps. I am starting to think that my LAN may be the culprit... town: Musical Fidelity Dr.Thomas, Preamp II, Infinity 7K, Squeezebox Class

bpa, I'm quit baffled because my music library has not changed, players neither, and they all worked fine before I replaced a "classic" tower pc with a beaglebone black and an USB drive. So, either is the arm install of LMS that has got something wrong, of the bottleneck is in the drive... to

Bitrate per se shouldn't matter as SB playerplay Flac native but if files need resampling to play e.g. playing 96kHz on an SB3 which can only play up to 48kHz - this may require more CPU than SBS can handle. Resampling is done using sox. IIRC you can use flac utility (in the LMS Bin directory)

thanks for your reply, Jeff, this stuttering concerns only local flac, radio streams correctly. If we rule out Wifi, USB disk, CPU, and memory, it must be related to the Flac codec. town: Musical Fidelity Dr.Thomas, Preamp II, Infinity 7K, Squeezebox Classic (2), Squeezebox Radio, Raspberry P
