I'll try my best to help... I assume you are outside the UK? There seem to be some slightly odd things going on for you! 1) Did the alpha3 plugin not work with the original faad.exe? Were you previously able to play any aac content (e.g. iTunes .m4a files)? The bug that was fixed in faad.exe should only occur in a very small percentage of streams (it was only noticed on one Listen Again stream), and all I'd expect on the Live streams is that very occasionally the stream won't start playing, but retrying will make it go. So I don't understand why you needed the new faad.exe, although it is nice to confirm that it works on WHS v1. (Well problems 2) and 3) could be a problem with faad, maybe...). 2) From the bbc-live.log, I've got little idea why the world-service isn't playing. The HLS stream data is being fetched ok and apparently being passed into the lms streaming/transcoding system, and nothing has thrown an error with the stream data. But the 'consecutiveErrors' reports mean (I think) that the stream hasn't actually ever started playing on the player. You'll need to turn on more system logging to find out what is happening. I know very little about the inner workings of LMS, but earlier in this thread bpa had suggested player.source debug logging if it is anything to do with transcoding, so I suggest trying that for a start. 3) The bbc-la.log looks like it might be after the event. All I can see there is that the HLS decoder is tearing through HLS chunks and passing them into the LMS streaming system far too fast - the chunks are normally 10 seconds each, but they are being dispatched as fast as once every 1 second! It's like the streaming/transcoding system is just discarding the data - it might be something similar to what is happening in 2). Again, I can only suggest turning on additional player debug logging in lms to try and see what is going on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
