I installed 1.5.2 yesterday on our Linux (Debian) SBS version 7.5, from repo " http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/betarelease-repo.xml ".
We're in the UK and use a major UK ISP. 1.5.2 isn't working for me, tested using our SB Touch. Two symptoms are: (i) The playing title, on both the Touch and on an open PC window using the port 9000 'web' UI says: "BBC Radio 4 - 23 mins delay" (ii) There are delays in connection, and on buffering and rebuffering. On connection, the station logo comes up quite quickly but there's a delay of several seconds before the audio starts; meanwhile, the '23 mins delay' text gets added to the playing title. Once started, the audio plays for only a very few seconds before the Touch indicates 'buffering' - with its counter staying at 0%. After quite a while, the audio suddenly starts but again only lasts a very few seconds before rebuffering which - as often as not - fails and the Touch announces a buffering failure. Sometimes, the audio will subsequently restart. I did make a note of the URL as reported on the left hand pane of the Web UI: "URL: iplayer://live?hls=http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_fourfm.m3u8&dash=http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/dash/uk/dash_full/ak/bbc_radio_fourfm.mpd&icon=http://radio-service-information.api.bbci.co.uk/logos/bbc_radio_fourfm/600x600.png&radiovis=fm/ce1/c204/09320&onair=bbc_radio_fourfm"; The as-shipped 'Intenet Radio' system in SBS seems to work fine, picking up Radio 4 at 128 kbps, and Radio 3 at 320 kbps. SBS, and the Touch, each use static IPs; they have worked with earlier versions of iPlayer, and they work fine with the music library. I've set Iplayer 1.5.2 to use "DASH>HLS>MP3>Flash AAC" and "Use highest bitate available DASH steam" for 'live' and 'on demand'. Seconds to delay start live stream is set to 15, and buffer fullness threshold is set to 255. Since first noticing this behaviour, I wondered whether the SBS system, or the Touch, was using an alternate (standby) uplink and DNS server, and I've rechecked those and reset the Touch DNS resolver to use a faster DNS service. The symptoms didn't change, though. If anyone has any thoughts about what may be happening here, I' be interested to see them. In the meantime, I'll continue with some more tests.
