Streaming Nuisance :)

[Nightcleaner]

Sytem

IMAC
WDCloud Nas Drive (hard wired Router)
Bluesound Streamer ( Hard wired to BT device)
2 X BT Wi Fi devices in mains plug sockets

Files (Flac Format High resolution)


Problem My Blue sound Streamer Can play High resolution music files all day from the WDCloud device which is in another part of the house . Which holds 1000 albums all in Flac file format .

When I try and play one of these songs Or albums from the same source. Using VLC Media player on the Mac or windows lap top (Using Foobar)

The files play intermittently Buffers like a youtube video and will not stream smoothly.

Now interestingly enough If i play a flac file direct from ether computer from the computer hard drive. No problems at all.

!. I assumed the whole idea of Nas drive was to store and play music or what ever in large quantiles from the 2TB hard drive. So whats happening?

@ I don't want 1000 albums in flac or high resolution files on my mac

So How do you stream music from your device successfully

Are you saying that both the Mac and PC are connected via WiFi?
If so, that would seem to be the cause.
You might want to run some tests on your WiFi for signal quality/interference from other devices, etc.
