I'm desperate. Any help very much appreciated.

If anyone reads this who uses the UK ISP Plus.net (famous for their
bandwidth shaping techniques) I'd be very, very appreciative if they'd
select a few stations from the BBC App (install from App Gallery) and
let me know if they play every time reliably.

I receive a mixture of "No item found in playlist", buffering stopping
at 10%, no sound, and les than half the time a correctly playing radio
station.

Background to this request:

Plus.net bandwidth shaping seem to be OK for the mass of users but
users of less popular services (like streaming BBC Radio to a
Squeezebox) can fall foul of their bandwidth shaping hardware. I've had
problems with this before with the iPlayer plugin. In the end I had to
install a program (Wireshark) that displayed the streaming packet data
so I could prove to Plusnet that it was their shaping that destroyed the
stream. To their credit they then sorted out the problem within 3 days.

For me BBC Radio screws up far too often (in the scheme of things) and
it is always very time consuming to figure out whether the the problem
is with the BBC, Squeeze code or my ISP. I have spent, and continue to
spend, far too much time attempting to keep the system running.

Thanks

MC

Think the third party Squeeze plugins and applets are important?
Then 'vote for bug 14194'
(http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14194) so more can be
made.
