Is there a way to set the amount buffered?
It looks like once a stream starts, it will buffer until the buffer is full (I think 64mb). Is there a way to tell it buffer a specific amount i.e. 2 sec or 200KB or something else?

Thank you for linking this back to the other thread 🙂
For clarification, I don't know how buffering works for netflix/amazon/etc. I just know that when I do the Squeezecenter stream, it seems to buffer about 64mb of stuff.
I also just tried this with pandora, and if I disconnect the ethernet, it looks like it plays the remaining song but not the next song.. I assume because pandora only gives out 1 song at a time..
Anyway, buffering overall is a great thing but for my application, it becomes a problem.
Thank you again for the help!!!

Mark,It only buffers the amount that it calculates that it needs to buffer, based on the bandwidth of the stream and the recent network bandwidth.
in this case it might be time to revise the algorithm 😉
Buaboo is talking of audio-only streams, and according to his posts in this thread[/url:2mctimun] the Netflix/Amazon Wonderbox-Thingy (TM alanmc) seems to fill the entire buffer.
