I was about to write that BBC on DASH only support 3hours skip back (which was the case last year) and BBC gave indication that it might be shortened. However, just in case 5 Live was doing something special for sports (e.g. Test match against Ireland is special ) I just checked and 5 Live and spot check of R4fm and R1 - they also have a 6 hours skip back. The plugin was coded to support whatever "timeShiftBuffer" value was provided by BBC so skipback will work with 6hours. However there was a few cases last year where users turned off their players at night with the "Pause on power off" setting - this resulted in strange player & metadata when "power on" next morning 8 hours later. I did a fix to detect such "long delays" from long pauses (i.e. not skip backs) - I'll have to look at that code again in case it doesn't cope with skip back delay of 6 hours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
