But almost no radiostations at all start within a second ? Most buffer a while before start-up even rock solid good stations ?
A station must be allowed some initial buffer time. If I take radio paradise and and a stopwatch from pressing "play" watching buffer fill up then audio it is 6-7 seconds, this is true for most stations only radio close to me like "Sveriges Radio" P3 Street starts within <2 seconds. Other buffer for a even longer time ? You can not consider a stream dead until the user selectable max buffer time has timed out: default 3s max 30s or the Radio Station Timeout o to 60 seconds . It can be so that by allowing long buffertimes you get long start-up times as the player buffers untill the buffer is 100% or the buffer time is reached, whichever come first . I have the buffertime maxed out as I think it's fun to try mysterius station around the globe :) " Radio Station Buffer Seconds When playing an Internet stream, the player buffers a small amount of data before beginning playback. Specify the amount of audio data to buffer, in seconds from 3 to 30. The default value is 3 seconds. If you experience stuttering audio, increasing this value may help. " " Radio Station Timeout You can set the length of time that Squeezebox Server will try to connect to an internet radio station or other source before giving up. Enter the amount of time, in seconds, below.
