This is a slightly odd one, and it's taken me a few months to work out what's going on. However, I don't actually know how to fix this, but I think I can see why the problem exists.
First off, I'm running SqueezeCenter 7.2, on a Linux system, and AlienBBC is working (almost) as it should. Generally, I'm sat in front of a computer working, so I use 'xmms' to play music on the machine, via the SqueezeCenter. I've hacked RTSP.pm from the AlienBBC distribution to disable the 'only stream to known slim clients' check, so that I can listen to the radio while I work. I generally have Radio 2 playing in the background, and after somewhere between 65 and 75 minutes, the playback stops. I have to re-start from the squeezecenter to get it to continue. There seemed to be no definite time at which the music stops. The reason for the stopped music, after probably a year of trying to work out, is that it appears to be some kind of drift. When I start both xmms and the Radio2 stream, there's a difference of around 4 seconds between the play time displayed in the web interface, and that in xmms. After around 20 minutes, that difference has grown to around 30 seconds (i.e. the time reported in SqueezeCenter is 30 seconds ahead of the playback time reported from xmms). So my best quess is that around 65-75 minutes, that drift has reached the point that mplayer has run out of buffer to write the converted stream, and hence it stops, and some short time later, so does xmms. Once I restart it, everything is fine again for just over an hour, and so on... The problem started to occur when I upgraded to version 7 of SlimServer/SqueezeCenter. Prior to this, in version(s) 6.5.x, I was running the same xmms playback with AlienBBC with no issues. Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?
