Listen Again with iPlayerExtra plugin uses Flash / RTMP. Listen Again from the BBCiPlayer plugin uses HLS. So if you are having problem with two different protocols -it looks like a "local" issue which makes it harder to find becasue you'll have to do the legwork. Do iPlayer plugin live HLS streams play OK ? When testing also include playing a program from Browser (set up for Flash not HTML5) just as a sanity check. To see why the streams are stopping you'll need to enable some logging. Initially plugin logging but later it'll probably require a few other modules to be logged to be more definitive.For Extra playback enable plugin.bbciplayer.rtmp ot Info. For iPlayerplugin enable plugin.bbciplayer.hls to Info. Usual procedure. Note time. Try playing a stream. Wait about 30 secs after fault has happened and note time again. Copy log message between start and stop time into text file, zip and attach to a post. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104638 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
