Over the last 24 hrs all the BBC national channels fail to play - the station info appears on screen but there's no sound. Can others confirm this?

Re: [slim] Tunein - BBC national channels
Thanks for the info. I wanted to set up a couple of favourites for BBC 5 and BBC 4 - guess I could do that just as easily via iPlayer plugin. I switched to mysb,com and when I play the tunein favourite there then it plays wma okay. Think there must be a gremlin in my lms server setup which is refusing to play the same favourite when locally selected. Investigating further.

Re: [slim] Tunein - BBC national channels
LMS has a two stage analysis or URLS/playlist and perhaps it is not using your DNS (IIRC years ago openDNS was used) - perhap you should check by enabling logging for network.asyncdns A workaround may be to avoid playlist and minimise DNS lookups by using the real BBC URLs BBC has many WMA URLs inside a playlist. The mulitple URLs are to provide load balancing. Below are example of one of the URLs for UK and non UK users.
