Often the RadioTime URLs are long playlists of URLs of different formats for the same station which refer to other playlist which in turn refer to the station to be played - each level of playlist add time. The RadioTime have to be generated as the request can vary the format - this also takes time.
While I'm sure the alarm code has some issues especially, I think using RadioTime URLs makes it more likely to fail as there at least 2-3 levels of processing and associated delays before trying the actual station itself. Then there is the possibility that the first format is not available and so there is further network processing. For Alarm I think you should use the URLs that goes direct to the station - this will minimise the possibility of network problems and delays. That said, I use a Boom every morning as an alarm with an Internet radio stream using my own SBS server and it hasn't failed except after a power cut. None of my system shutdown and the DHCP license time is 1 day. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=72374 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
