Hi, I'm not sure if the support portion of the forum is an appropriate section but since Moode comes with a significant amount of FluxFM stations pre-installed I thought I'd post my experience to see if anybody else can confirm a similar experience.
I've tried a handful of FluxFM stations (Hard Rock and MetalFM, for example) which are 320kbps streams and 100% of the time they're able to load and play, but I'd say 90+% of the time they suffer from stutter and pausing resulting from the buffer being run-out from lack of bandwidth. I've tried the stations on two moode installations (different PI, different internet) and also on a Yamaha home theatre amp with internet radio functionality - same resulting stutter issue.
As a curiosity I connected to Germany through my VPN service and didn't seem to have any issue streaming - I'm thinking that maybe they're limiting the bandwidth going out of Germany / Europe? I'm based in Ontario Canada, and my internet at both locations I tried are 1Gbps and 500Mbps download speed so it's definitely not a bandwidth issue on my end (Radio Paradise 320kbps / FLAC stations work just fine anyway). Anyway, just looking to make sure I'm not crazy!
