First of all, I'd like to thank everyone involved in trio and jreceiver. This stuff is just awesome! I have 4 Rios now and I don't use my Audiotron at all any more.

So here is my problem: Occasionally, listening receivers stop playing. Has anyone seen this happen? I'm running the latest trio and jreceiver on a win XP machine with ARM. Also, I've had problems with the main player stopping.. but that seems to be less frequent (not really a big deal). Any suggestions?

Also, I can't seem to control the backlight timeout. no matter what I set it to (Have tried values from 0-600), it seems to always behave the same way. Does anyone know what the life expectancy of the backlight is? Is there a reason to not just leave it on all the time?

Thanks,
Mike

I haven't seen this. I only seriously used the sync feature once, at our Halloween party. I had 4 Rios synched for 7 hours without incident.

Mike,

What sort of files are you playing when this happens (mp3/ogg/flac, encoding rate, fixed/variable bit rate)? The method of keeping things sync'd differs slightly for each encoding type.

Cheers
Paul

Paul,

It was happening with internet radio (128kbps mp3) and mp3s in various bitrates. It looks like the problem was with an SMC 5 port switch I was using.. The switch was connected to another switch which was connected to the DSL modem and the server that the content was on. When I removed the SMC and hooked everything up to the one switch, everything started working perfectly.. Thanks for your help!
