I've done some further tracing. Both old and new firmware are getting the data quite happily from the BBC Sounds protocol handler. They both ask for 32768 Bytes at a time. The BBC data is available in 6.4 second chunks and it gets that in a sprightly 0.3 of a second in 8 separate calls. There is usually 13 seconds of data available within a couple of seconds when it starts streaming, so there is no problem it getting the data to play out. I just think that 320kbps 48hz aac is on the edge of what these radios can support to decode, in terms of processor power. The old private decoder might have just been slightly more efficient at it. No worries it still perfectly fine most of the time. If any one mentions it as a problem, I'll just suggest decode to flac, as this BBC streams need to be streamed from a server anyway. 32888 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: Screenshot 2021-01-07 at 20.03.37.png | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=32888| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ *BBC Sounds Plugin Wiki* : https://github.com/expectingtofly/LMS_BBC_Sounds_Plugin/wiki ------------------------------------------------------------------------ expectingtofly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63263 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113479 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
