handshaking problem with transporter and macintosh
Last modified: 2010-03-21 11:09:18 UTC
After introducing a transporter into my system (previously using SB3) I experienced random stopping of play. No rebuffering, just stopping. Connection is wired. Problem never occurred with SB3. Found a hint somewhere that this could have to do with handshaking. Default ethernet settings on Mac are 1000baseT, full duplex, flow control. If I manually change this to 1000baseT, full duplex (no flow control), the problem ceases. Knowing this, it becomes a fairly minor inconvenience. But most people would not know this. This should be handled automatically at the Transporter end. Failing this, the information should be easy to find.
