I don't use the plugin very often but I noticed the 503 yesterday and today. I think it was an iheart CDN issue rather anything else - I compared the iheart.com HTTP "genre catalog" request against the similar plugin HTTP request and no difference so I don't think it is an API change. LMS will cache responses so if you get an error, it is possible LMS will cache that bad response for 15-30 minutes so gateway error may have gone away quickly but it may still appear on LMS for a number of minutes. I've tried to disable caching where it is reasonable. > For my stations all seem to work initially but the HLS and Secure HLS > have breaks every 30 - 60 seconds.

AFAICT (at least from a non UK non US location) HLS streams do not offer any better quality that shoutcast - so don't opt for HLS if shoutcast streams are available. If you look at top of the thread - the HLS gaps issue has been discussed already. iHeart HLS stream are "special" - I think spaces are being for ads - so at the moment HLS stream do not play properly. As iHeart stream do not play for me on any browser (chrome, Firefox or Explorer) but do play with gaps using ffmpeg so I don't have any reference "good" stream to compare and determine what is "special". It is possible that it requires "personal details" to to tune the ads. I may look into it later. Images are LMS for menus - PlayHLS plays HLS stream but does not support metadata or images so it will revert to LMS generic (which may be affected by where HLS URLs appear in the generated playlist) . Have you found a station which only has HLS ? I have worked out how to make Streamtheworld URLs playable but so far no request so I will not update the plugin until there is a need. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108466 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
