It is a hack to exploit a HLS specific loophole to see if 320kbps could be delivered to non UK users who are denied access to 320bkps > The is bad new though - the 320 HLS stream tends to drop quite often, > something like every 5-30 minutes.

Is there the possibility to attempt automatic reconnect for > this stream on a 597 error? 597 comes from LMS HTTP 1.1 support and is generated inside the plugin not from BBC - I suspect the BBC have noticed the loophole and have closed it off in the same way BBC closes off VPN users from non UK countries. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111041 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
