If you run RealPlayer and look at the protocol and codec statistics dispplay - you will see the audio stream encoding at 40kbits/sec. There is transmission protocol overhead which means a 40kbit/sec data speed is not enough.
Some (not all) listen again programs are better quality so that may be the 64kbits. If you read the BBC answer - at no point do they say the audio encoding rate is reduced - they talk about buffers and transmission. What speed is your modem link ? Run RealPlayer , play the BBC streams - what are the codec and protocols statistics values displayed ? -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41023 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
