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.
