(I posted this as a reply to another thread on listening to BBC Radio, but I don't think it was entirely appropriate there - apologies for the multi-posting).
I don't believe this is a plug-in issue, but a problem with the WMA feeds from the BBC. I'm based in the UK, so should have no problem getting the feeds (from a legal perspective anyway). I'm running SC7.3.3 on Ubuntu 8.10, with a wireless SB3. (Version: 7.3.3 - 25156 @ Wed Feb 25 03:12:29 PST 2009) I've found that the live AlienBBC streams for Radio 2 and 4 to be reliable. For BBC iPlayer, I've given up trying to listen to the feeds. All the live feeds consistently cause my SB3 to crash and reboot. The feeds play for about 30 seconds (I'm guessing the buffer size) then it all stops. I'd love to listen to these feeds for the higher bit-rate. I don't believe this is a BBC iPlayer plugin issue. I have copied the high bit rate WMA URL into "Tune in URL" and I get the same issue. Through the "More Radio.." menu, I can play the 65Kbit WMA streams without problem on the whole, certainly they don't cause my SB3 to reboot. Anybody else experienced this problem of the 96k streams causing the SB3 to reboot or can explain what might cause the problem? I can understand that streams are not always perfect, you get rebuffering, stuttering and so on, but I don't expect a stream to cause my SB3 to reboot. Here are the URLs I've been using: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/wm_asx/aod/radio2.asx http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/wm_asx/aod/radio4.asx Any help would be much appreciated!
