Dear all,

finally I managed to set-up the Pinnacle Soundbridge.
I had to take off my VPN connection for everything to work. Now I can also see the music library. However now whenever I try to play a song it says “Re-buffering” and none of the songs play.

In addition it seems like the whole WLAN environment is running slow?!

Can anybody help?
Thanks.

How are you connected? It sounds like you are trying to connect over a low-bandwidth connection?

If so, and if you are trying to transcode, then chances are that won’t work, as transcoding converts the music to 44.1K/16/2, which is probably much too much for a low-bandwidth connection.

So to answer these questions:

1. How are you connected
2. What is your available bandwidth
3. What platform are you running firefly on?
4. What kind of audio files are you trying to play?
