MUZECAST FORUM

For a few days now I've been unable to listen to hi-res music (192Khz and 96Khz) because every song I try to play pauses frequently while it is downloading, it's like if the buffer (if there's any) is not keeping up.

My computer is connected directly to the modem through ethernet so I don't think there is any bandwith limitation since the connection is 1Gbps, however, the wireless connection between the phone and the modem is limited to 300Mbps, still I don't think that's a reason for the issue.

Turning OFF "ReplayGain" and "force seekable FLAC" options don't make any difference.

Are you trying to play HiRes songs while your phone is on WiFi and WiFi on the same network where your Computer is?

Is you WiFi integrated with a Modem or it is a separate Access Point Router?

If Separate Access Point Router, is your Access Point setup as Bridged Mode?

When phone is on WiFi, and on the same network, it should connect directly to your computer, if WiFi is in the bridged mode.

Yes, it is, nothing has changed on my network, everything is connected the same way it has always been.



It is built-in, but I did use an access point in the past but I didn't have this issue.



When I used the access point it the past it wasn't setup as bridge mode nor the current modem where WiFi is built-in.



the WiFi settings in the current modem are still the same as in the past, like I said before, this problem started a few days ago, the same day when I made the topic about OneDrive a few days ago. I wonder if you changed anything or your side that may have cause this issue?.

Whether "Enable Direct Connection" is ON or OFF in the sever settings, the "Connected to" always says "Muzecast Proxy".

Is it OK or am I having a connection issue here?

Do you need any log from the logs folder?

Maybe you can find something there.

If your connection and streaming in Relay Mode, then here is reported speed to and from Muzecast Services with your Computer and mobile device:

Upstream speed - speed of uploading media file from your computer to Muzecast Server: 8500 Kbit Per Second
Downstream speed - speed of downloading media file from Muzecast Server to your mobile device: 2700 Kbit Per Second.

Please note, that this is average speed, and it might take in the count your Mobile data speed and your WiFi speed. I would need to add additional metrics to measure speeds based on network connection.

HiRes files usual bitrate is over 5000 Kbit Per Second.

Also a information what is shown in this Muzecast Settings when you are connected via WiFi:

Muzecast Settings->Media Servers->My Home Computer->Connected To.

Use Private Message or email.

Try temporary disable Window Firewall on your computer and restart Muzecast app on your phone.

Check connection in Muzecast Settings and make sure it is showing IP address of your computer and not Relay/Proxy Mode.

If disabling Firewall helped, then Muzecast was denied the command to open a port for local streaming directly to your phone.

You can re-enable Windows firewall and open port in Windows Firewall just for Vorlan.HomeDJ.Server.exe. Use port number to open which is shows in the Muzecast Configurator.

In that case, phone will directly download song from your computer, when you are connected via WiFi on your home network.

I did that and it still says "Muzecast Proxy".



In the server it says "Connected (Relay).



It didn't work.



In Windows Defender firewall it says:

Vorlan.HomeDJ.Server.exe

Vorlan.HomeDJ.Server.exe Operation Port (14128)

Both are checked on private column.



Please help, it is not connected directly as it seems.

Could you check what Gateway IP is shows in your computer:
Open command window and type command: ipconfig

Check on your phone in Android Settings->System->Network->Gateway IP
On phone it might be differ from one Android implementation to another.

let me know if both Gateway IPs are the same. you do not have to post these IPs here.
