I have recently run into this issue with frequent rebuffering. It seems to only happen on listen again streams in my case. The problem coincided with me changing the platform I was running the software on - moved from a full-blown Dell server to a Raspberry Pi. On the Dell unit there was never a problem but after moving to the Pi it was almost impossible to get more than 20 seconds of a listen again stream before rebuffering.
After reading a few posts about similar problems, I turned off the 'Allow Transcoding' option and this seemed to do the trick but the issue has re-surfaced since. What I then found when I went back to the iPlayer setting was the transcoding option had turned back on. It seems that despite using the 'save settings' button, the settings are actually only saved as long as the server is running and after I reboot the setting reverts back to the default 'on'. As I'm using a Pi it ordinarily stays running 24/7 but we tend to suffer a lot of power blips here which drop out our power for a second or two and thus the server gets inadvertently rebooted, often without me knowing - until I play a listen again and find it to be rebuffering. So my question is "Does the allow transcoding option turn back on by design or is this a bug? If it is a bug, is it common to all platforms or is it specific to the Raspberry Pi? Is it likely down to a permissions issue on a particular file? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mr nick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101437 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
