Hi Michael thanks for taking the time. I'm having trouble on the following devices: Touch, 2 Receivers, and 2 Radios grouped into two groups: (Touch + Receiver + radio) and (Radio + Reciever) They're all wifi, I'm using a relatively new Netgear nighthawk, R6900v2 on a gigabit internet connection. In Squeezecenter they're reporting between 96% - 100% signal on all players. I will say that last night i ran into some issues using the groups plugin and had more luck just manually syncing. I've had nothing but problems with the groups plugin so i think i'll just disable it altogether. I don't know if I'm pushing the wifi too hard, but if I can transcode the spotify tracks down that should help I should think. I go through spurts of everything working smoothly, but sometimes I come home and the touch shows "Buffering 1%" and it keeps swapping back and forth between play and buffer. Squeezecenter is on a Ryzen 7 with 16gb ram and gigabit ehternet, so I don't think that's the issue, however I will say the spotty error I get with remote desktop still happens occasionally. I don't know if it has something to do with remote desktop's redirected audio? I get this every time i log into my desktop via RDP (about 5-6 errors in a row then it goes away): 33839 Sorry for the info dump. So many variables I'm having a hard time narrowing it down... +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: spottyerror.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=33839| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ 1 Touch 3 Receivers 2 Controller 3 Radios (I think I have a problem) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FredFredrickson's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111923 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
