If a stream just has errors, playing will continue but it will eventually end up being choppy and stuttering. This very rarely happens with Listen Again & Podcast as they are not live and TCP error correction ensures no data loss. However, if the network connection is broken/ended then Slimserver (if set to Repeat) will make the connection again (as if to replay a track) and so a live stream will continue as it is live but a Listen Again or Podcast will start from the beginning. There can be no recovery as it appears to Slimserver that the BBC server said "end of program".
Since the problem happens with both Podcast and Listen Again which are different formats and use different playback mechanisms - your problem seems to be network related. You need to find out why the network connection is being broken as it is unusual especially if it only happens with the BBC servers. You haven't given any details of your set up (e.g PC, OS, SS version, Alien Version, network connection, location) so it is difficult to give more advice. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25553 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
