There is an issue raised here which I have wondered about but didn't investigate.
In an MP3 stream which uses the ICY protocol the titles of the songs now playing are interleaved with the MP3 audio stream in the same TCP connection. Now this is the point that need considering. If the titles that appear on the SB3 are changing even through the stream is paused, then I think it means that SC is reading all of the HTTP ICY stream (including audio) to get the interleaved song titles as they are sent. There is an associated issue with internet radio streams - if the SB3 is paused and the stream is being handled directly (I am not sure this is the case with ICY streams) by the SB3 from the station then the SB3 will keep reading the stream until its buffer is full and then the TCP flow control will stop more data being sent as it will not be acknowledged. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39002 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
