Hi,
I'm mostly streaming internet radio stations via my LMS to my AirPlay devices. Sometimes I'm facing connection issues (drops of a 2-3 seconds or the stream stops at all while the player is still in "play" mode and counting the time, which is strange). So I've started to increase the "Radio station buffer seconds" in LMS in "Advanced" -> "Network".
Strangely this has no effect at all! All players are set to "proxied" as the streaming method. Even when I set the buffer to the max of 30 seconds for a test and I start a radio station, it starts playing after around 3-4 seconds.
My understanding of how a buffer works is that if it's set to 30 seconds, that it'll fill up the buffer for 30 seconds before it can start playing. But regardless of the setting here, it always starts the stream after a few seconds.
What do I overlook here? I don't want to have a 30 sec buffer, that's just a test which proves that the setting seems to have no effect at all ...?!?
I'm running version 7.9.0
