Installed LMS on a Acer mini PC with 3.0 GHz Core 2 Duo and 4GHz DDR3 RAM running only Castbridge and BBC iPlayer Dash Version plugins (no others). Windows 10 pared down to headless with no other programmes running. Set today's 5 Live Sports Extra cricket commentary (320kbps AAC DASH - not transcoding) running on Desktop PC (previous LMS server) with squeezelite standalone programme and upstairs CCA. Both ran for more than 6 hours simultaneously, without stopping. This is the first time I've had BBC iPlayer live radio DASH version running for more than a couple of hours on any player. Don't know what to think. Has something changed at the BBC? Is having a PC with fewer processes running helpful? Have left the CCA running (with amp turned off) I'll try to see how long it lasts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ian_heys's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2629 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104672 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
