As I wrote under
https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,135123.0.htmlthe 3 PC solution has the advantage of maintaining only one library (Server-Main-Library) for a back up and no need to synchronize i.e.
It works, but has the following disadvantages over the 2 PC solution:
1. Sometimes, I still have to switch the TV on since the Renderer-PC (connected to the HiFi as external USB soundcard) can't connect to the Server's Main Library instantly; MC asks for loading another or the local main library which I have to answer manually.
2. The Controller (MC on a Surface Book 3 as well as Gizmo/JRemote on an Android tablet) doesn't work as fluently as with the 2 PC solution (Renderer is also the Server-PC). This is a main disadvantage since it causes
a) interruptions/distortions after "Pause"/"Play": MC stops the stream instead of pausing it so my HiFi-Streamer mutes every time, I klick "Play" after "Pause"
b) Cover art doesn't generate as fluently as usual when scrolling the album collection
c) For-/Backwarding in a track reacts also with a lot more latency.
I have to say that I use the regular 1GBit inhouse network. Regardless of a thinkable 10GB network - what can I do to optimize the latency?
