Random Choppy Audio Playback

[milkman001]

I'm experiencing really show choppy audio playback on using my home subsonic from work. I usually have to start a song, let it buffer for 4 or 5 minutes before its ready for a smooth play through. What's strange is that sometimes it plays through fine without any issues.

I got multiple things going on so I'm trying to pin down the problem:

1) I am connecting to home Subsonic from work via SSH tunneling, I THINK this limits bandwidth somewhat but I can't get it to work any other way, even with leaving 8081 open on my router.

2) My ISP might be the issue, I'm with TWC in North Carolina and even though I have the fastest RoadRunner available I think uploading bandwidth is 0.45 Mbps or so...can anyone tell me if that's enough to stream 128 kbps or higher music smoothly?

3) Transcoding...I set the transcoder to 112 kbps max but I'm not sure if its actually transcodes at that lower bitrate or not...there doesn't seem to be a way to tell. It does seem to play a bit better on lower bitrates though so I do think its working. I plan on testing this more in the future.

Please let me know what you thinks the problem.

I'm experiencing the same issue. On any PC I stream my music from and the Droid app. Songs lag every 5-10 seconds from my PC. When I stream from my phone, songs will play for 5 seconds or so, pause, and then start back over. Very strange. Any help on this would be great. This app is amazing all around and I would really like to get this resolved. Thanks!
