Looking at the the flkow of data through the 1.3 plugin - it is very "lumpy" (i.e. burst of data then 2-3 secs nothing). Also the plugin does not prefetch as much data with a live stream as an on demand so if problem is due to "lumpiness" it is more lie;y to affect live streams comapred to on demand ones. Using ffmpeg lets ffmpeg buffer data and so give a smoother flow. At the moment I feel problem could be a safety timer in socketwrapper (put in especially for mplayer and AlienBBC) that is being triggered but I need to do testing (and if necessary build a new version of socketwrapper) to check this out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
