It sound like a problem local to your setup. Stop LMS and delete cache.db if you haven't already. Any message in the log ? Please give more details on fgthe "cannot find ..." as there a a number of message which begin this way - more and complete details always help if you want to resolve the issue. 1.4.9 is the same as 1.4.7 so problem getting worse cannot be attributed to plugin code changes. If problem happens with HLS as well as DASH it sounds like a DNS issue. This issue plagued some people back in early 2015 and IIRC some changed DNS servers. What is your DNS setup ? Comparison with iPhone BBC iplayer app is not good as it p[lay HLS but does "special things" - better comparison is toplay BBC Radio through a web browser but making sure you have enabled the DASH (beta) mode - this uses a reference DASH player with no funny business. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
