I'm also on Plusnet in the UK and just installed 7.4 (WHS version) to my HP Mediasmart. I think I had two plug-ins predating this (BBC iPlayer and Alien BBC)
I'm happy to test and report on my experience, but I'm confused as to which BBC route to use (!) Selecting on my SB3 via IR, but using SBC purely for viewing Now Playing, I have run through the following SQUEEZEBOX HOME\INTERNET RADIO\LOCAL\NATIONAL NETWORKS\BBC\STATIONS (11)BBC RADIO 1 (LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM) This played first time just now (15:02 BST), displays radio1 logo, show is listed as "Radio 1's Early Breakfast Show" then "BBC radio 1 98.8. BBC Radio 1 (london, United Kingdom)", 8 minutes uninterrupted, then tried:- SQUEEZEBOX HOME\INTERNET RADIO\BBC IPLAYER\LISTEN LIVE\BBC RADIO 1 This played first time just now (15:13 BST), displays different radio1 logo, show is listed as "BBC Radio 1", 2 minutes uninterrupted, then tried:- SQUEEZEBOX HOME\INTERNET RADIO\ALIEN BBC\BBC LIVE STREAMS\RADIO 1 LIVE Long delay with SBC showing 'Fetching Track details' for about 20 seconds and SB3 showing Radio 1 live. SB3 lapsed time remains at 0:00. SBC moves to display Radio 1 Live (twice) and elapsed time incrementing to about 30 seconds and then restting repeatedly. No sound. SBC shows generic radio logo. The installed BBC radio app from app gallery (my first app install but last.fm, previously a plug-in, was already there) and immediately tried:- Squeezebox Home\My Apps\BBC\BBC Radio 1 This came up quickly (<2/3 seconds), on SB3 showing 'Now PLaying BBC Radio 1 by BBC' and SBC showing "BBC Radio 1" and on next line "BBC.BBC Radio 1" and the generic radio station icon. This has run effectively for 4 minutes. I then repeated the exercise from the SBC (to check consistency in menus) and had same result for first three methods. The App then went 'fetching track details', 'Buffering 10%' and stalled there, with SBC elapsed time incrementing, but resetting to zero occasionally (e.g. when SBC went to screen saver and had to be shook awake). I experienced the 10% rebuffering problem yesterday when I was using the penultimate beta from my desktop whilst I installed the production version to my WHS, but didn't note which route I used (except to say there were no apps on that). I'll try and repeat test tomorrow to gather more data. -- DigitalMitch ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DigitalMitch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15999 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68570 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
