Subsonic extremely slow outside lan

[bombjack]

Hi all,
I have big trouble getting Subsonic to work outside my lan. It has worked flawlessly up until a few months ago (don't really know when it started malfunction).

Anyway, my problem is extremely slow streaming. Subsonic does stream, but is lagging alot. I captured some traffic using wireshark and I see alot of resending of tcp packets, which probably is the cause to lagging, but I don't understand why this is.

Anyone have a clue to where to begin looking for the source of error?


This is my setup:

- Fedora 12 box, directly connected to Internet.
- The box also servers as a firewall using iptables and doing nat for my internal lan. (and yes, I have tried to disable firewall)
- Measured speed using public broadband test, down/up: 93Mbit/82Mbit
- Subsonic installed via fedora rpm

This should be enough to stream music...

That's pretty extrodinary. May I ask where your getting that test result?

Also, what are you streaming, any transcoding involved, what's the load on the cpu?

I am only streaming music, mostly FLAC. But transcoding is not the problem. There is no difference if I transcode FLAC, downsample mp3 or just stream mp3 as-is -slow output. I have checked CPU using "top": load is never more than ~8-10% (lame), but I can see some peaks at ~30% (Java) now and then.

About speed: Well, that's normal in Sweden And the good part is, I only pay for 10/10...
Below is my latest test. Testserver is 500 km from my computer. Text in swedish, but I think you get the picture (left is down, right is up)

Me too, the southern tip!

It's hard to tell what could be causing your problem, but I've found that most issues can be cured by an uninstall/reinstall of Java and SS. Just be sure to stop the SS service before you start if you decide to go in that direction.
