Long time lurker, first time poster. Thank you BPA as well as others for all your hard work to keep Squeezebox relevant - so, so appreciated. I am not having any issues with live streams on DASH - working perfectly with no buffering issues on South Coast (England) using Virgin Media connection. I have found for perhaps the last 4-6 weeks (could be more) though that listen again DASH streams don't work anymore. Squeezebox just says connecting but never does. Problem solved by changing to HLS streams which work fine on listen again. We really only use for Radio 4 so any quality difference is not really an issue but noticed that someone posted that HLS may be discontinued next year and if true we would miss catch up functionality. Seems to be the case for both the nee Triode and BPA BBC apps. Is this a known issue or just particular to me? I have two squeezeboxs connected to Logitech server running of a Synology NAS. Assume it may be something BBC have helpfully changed. All the best ------------------------------------------------------------------------ barcote's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66103 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=104672 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
