Remote Speakers Output Plug-In 4.7

Download link: Remote Speakers output v4.7

  • Reduced potential for audio stream interruptions by:
      1. Disabling blocking on UDP sockets
      2. Increasing size of UDP socket send buffers
      3. Reducing audio buffer sleep time
      4. Reducing RAOP thread priority
  • Fixed device connection sequence; device address resolution was being restarted too quickly, causing instability
  • Improved support for AppleTV (2nd gen) 6.0.x firmware

Also I stumbled upon a setting in my router that greatly improved the performance of AirPlay. In my cable modem / router / wi-fi access point, there is a setting on the Advanced tab called NAT ALG Status. Under that, if I check the RTSP box, the time to send individual audio packets dropped from ~3 ms to <1 ms. This setting helps the plug-in stay on time when sending data and sync packets to devices. Checking this box alone would likely have cured my audio stream blips and burps. But put together with the changes in v4.7, the UDP audio streaming is finally solid!
