Ive started from post 1 and gone through all of the thread. I have to admit to not understanding most of it. I am a tecchie, but tends to be Windows related and some high level networking. No experience of streaming technologies.
_SYSTEM_OVERVIEW_ My system is Fujitsu ESPRIMO E3521 Inter Core 3 Quad running at 2.83ghz 4GB RAM Windows 10 x64 1607 Wired Ethernet, reserved IP address Its pretty much sat there doing little else. I am in the UK on a Virgin Media 70mbps link. I am using Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 BBC iPlayer plugin v 1.5.2 BBC iPlayer Extras plugin v 1.9.5 Ive been using SBS and LMS for nearing 6-8 years, so its entirely possible that there is junk in the configuration somewhere, as Ive upgraded a number of OSes, SBS /LMS and likely plugin versions and settings over the years. My players are: Boom wifi Boom 2 wifi Duet Lounge wired I also had a couple of wired SB3s, but they have not been connected for months. The issue was also present using these players. They are normally all synced with each other, but for testing purposes Ive set them all as No Sync. Whilst players are not synced Ive used both the wifi Boom and the wired Duet as the test players. I get the same issue seemingly whether synchronised or not or wired or not. _THE_ISSUE_ I always use BBC iPlayer steams via my Favourites. Whenever I choose a BBC iPlayer stream, the stream may (or may not) start and within seconds will go quiet and Buffering n% is displayed. Audio may well start for a few seconds, or longer. I never use the Extras plugin. This behaviour will continue for maybe up to 15-20 mins and sometimes will then work for generally most of the day. Changing to another BBC iPlayer stream starts the issue all over again. This was the issue Ive had for many months, but its been getting worse. As a result, Ive recently upgraded to the latest LMS server (it was the old 7.5 from memory). I did not know that there were updates as the console was telling me I was at the latest version. I had to download the LMS update manually. Ive also updated the BBC iPlayer and BBC iPlayer Extras plugins. I had the old repo URL so I updated using the betarelease-repo.xml URL. I cant recall the old version, if this is important, then can you tell me the location of any possible logs? The Live and On Demand stream settings were set to HLS > MP3 > FlashAAC > FlashMP3 Ive now changed them to DASH > HLS > MP3 > FlashAAC> So now having updated the LMS and the plugins and changed to DASH, Im still having the same issues. It does seem that its only the BBC iPlayer streams that are affected. I can play BBC and other radio streams from RadioTime without issue. I can play other streams from podcasts and If I select BBC streams from BBC iPlayer Extras (which I wouldnt normally use) they seem to play immediately without issue. *Separately, even after re-installing the plugins, I dont get the BBC iPlayer on the menu when I connect to the web console, but I do get BBC iPlayer Extras. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
