I have studied this problem and found the reason to be TCP acknowledged window size and the mplayer's implementation of RealAudio's Turboplay. Understanding the problem is now just academic as mplayer implementation is not going to change and use of RealAudio is fading away. For live radio - use the WMA streams. RTE is a pain to deal with as they change URLs in a seemingly illogical fashion, with no pattern, the URLs are not uniform and their handcrafted "smil" files break RealAudio rules (Listen Back programs are described as video not audio streams) and need a special parser. It looks like RTE are moving away from RealAudio as 2FM is now using Flash Audio and RTE have indicated that Radio 1 will be moving to Flash soon. So it looks like soon RTE Listen Back will no longer be available to SB users. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54872 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
