There is always a place generic for something to play a HLS stream(.m3u8) anf for that matter in the future a DASH stream (.mpd) > Also, I notice from looking at my router stats that my Squeezebox base > unit (Duet base) now seems to two wireless connections to my router. > > I'm seeing two ip connections using the same MAC code. I assume this is > part of DASH enablement since I've not seen it before ..? Don't think so - in fact HLS code always used two connection during playing whereas DASH manages with one. DASH for live stream has to sync time so once at the start of love play it will go to a akamai time server and get the time according to akamai. DASH and HLS are chunked HTTP which measn audio is sent as lots of 6 sec audio files - so there are many http short connections during normal play with a burst of a few close together at the start to fill buffer. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104672 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
