Just for interest did you try the On Demand through iPlayer Extras as well (which uses a different protocol)?
People much more knowledgeable than I say that for live streaming good home network connections are required, plus a good DNS service. It seems Live channels use frequent DNS lookups and these need to work quite quickly otherwise the live steam gets lost. One user reported that using ethernet via powerline adaptors didn't work well for him, but others say they are OK. Another said trying Google's DNS at IP 8.8.8.8 helped. LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. LMS & Squeeze2upnp to MF M1 CLiC (to MF amp & ESLs) & Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Minimserver (server) & upplay (control point) to same renderers & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to speakers/phones. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop with firefox/upplay or Android 'phone with Squeeze-Commander/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver. Have a Touch with EDO, and a spare, but don't use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103435 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
