There are 2 completely different issues here. The error about no playlist items is related to a Shoutcast issue where their server gets overloaded and can't return you a playlist. We don't need to talk about this issue here. To avoid this problem you should find the real stream URL for the stream you're trying to play and not go through the Shoutcast plugin which gives you URLs that require the Shoutcast server to be working. Let's focus on your other issue where the stream does play and then stops. When a stream runs out of data, it should rebuffer if you are using firmware 72 and the latest 6.5.1 build. Enable Show Buffer Fullness and watch what happens to the two numbers from when you start streaming to when it rebuffers, then see what they say after they rebuffer. Please also post the stream URL that's giving you problems. -- andyg ------------------------------------------------------------------------ andyg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3292 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31359 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
