I'm really, really pulling my hair out on this one and would appreciate any kind of suggestion.
I'm running Hardy. To stream music, I use mt-dappd (firefly) connected through Soundbridges and Jinzora2 on an Apache server.
Everything was fine when I upgraded from Gutsy to Hardy and then I started to notice (say around March of this year) that mt-daapd would occasionally try to rebuffer a track, fail, and then skip to the next track. This would happen randomly, without any rhyme or reason. Soon after, streaming Jinzora to a mobile device, I noticed there would be an attempt to rebuffer and then, again, a skip or just a total failure to stream.
I tried the Firefly and Jinzora forums, but no one else seemed to be having the problem. There didn't appear to be many Ubuntu users either.
I wasn't sure if the problems were related. After a lot of testing, it seems that it happens when Hardy is trying to stream to a weak network connection. My Soundbridges usually have a relatively weak and inconsistent wi-fi connection and I stream jinzora2 over 3G. The problem doesn't happen when the connection is fairly fast. Note that steaming over the Soundbridges or 3G was never a problem until recently.
Forgive my ignorance, but is there one program/module that is common to mt-daapd and apache that might have been updated recently to cause this problem? Put in a nutshell, the problem is that rebuffering no longer works for me.
Thanks.
