Radio Channels Loading Slowly?

[easeback1i]

Anyone else finding their radio stations are loading very slowly with the latest version of Sense? As an example, Radio Paradise now takes ~20 seconds to start playing on my system (Zen 3 into Naim NDS streamer via UPnP).

With previous versions of Sense, all my radio favourites would normally load in under 2 seconds. Not a major problem, but perhaps a simple fix?

Is this consistent across all radio stations tried?

All you can do on the Sense side of things is try making sure the Compatibility Mode is enabled for the SenseUPnP streamer and give the system a reboot. I am running the latest 3.3.1 on my ZENmini and just gave this a test via UPnP to a Sonos speakers, and playback took around 1 second to kick in.

Thanks Stephen. Followed your advice, but the radio delay persists. Local radio does load more quickly than international stations (but still ~ 10 second delay), so I suspect the problem may be ISP / network traffic-related, rather than anything fixable within Sense. My Tidal playback is super fast however, which is far more important for my needs.
