I've got no major desire for high kbps streams so am happy to setup whatever works. I tried switching to DASH> HLS but that seems much worse - I've a attached a logfile of trying to play using the settings in the attached screenshot. Using DASH gave a buffering process of about 3 mins of silence and then played for about 10 seconds before rebuffering again. It was only trying to load at -48kbps CBR, aac, -but sometimes clicking play again gave -339kbps CBR, AAC LC -without my changing any settings

OK, I can try giving that a go in an attempt to get a working solution. bpa wrote: > 3.

As per the screenshot, that didn't seem to have much effect, nor did swapping -highest/lowest bitrate DASH stream-. bpa wrote: > I am not sure but I think in Win8 or Win10 MS made a change which > affect LMS transcoding support program socketwrapper.exe.

Perhaps that's the problem, but my previous Windows7 server had a 1.66GHz Intel Atom N280 and did seem to have the same problem with iplayer buffering. bpa wrote: > PlayHLS using ffmpeg and the plugin's DASH implementation both use HTTP > 1.1 which means one TCP connection and then multiple chunks sent on same > connection. OK, I'll let you know whether PlayHLS fixes things. Thanks for all the analysis and input!
