It is one of the areas I have been playing around. The LMS AsyncHTTP
routine used to "get" an URL has two parameters - expires and timeout.
Timeout is the timeout for a HTTP get - I'm not too sure of expoires but
I think it is the life of a DNS entry. If not set then defaults are
used. Changing the timelimits per HTTP GET is quite easy and is done
in the HLS.pm file. The following are the two routines I have changed.
Note they have added instrumentation to monitor fetch times - you only
need to add the cache, timeout and expires to your HLS.pm to play
around.
The fetching of the "pls" which tell LMS which 6 secs segments to fetch
Code:
sub _fetchPL {
my $self = shift;
my $url = shift;
my $start= shift || 0;
$log->debug("fetch playlist: $url start: $start");
${*$self}{'_pl_refetch'} = undef;
Slim::Networking::SimpleAsyncHTTP->new(
\&_parsePL,
sub {
my $http = shift;
my $fetchtime = int((Time::HiRes::time() -
$http->params('fetchtime'))*1000);
$log->warn("Error: fetch time $fetchtime fetching
$url");
$self->close;
},
[color=red] { obj => $self, url => $url, start => $start, cache =>
0, expires =>HLS_TTL_EXPIRES, timeout=>HLS_PLS_TIMEOUT , fetchtime =>
Time::HiRes::time() }[/color=red]
)->get($url);
}
Code:
ub _fetchChunk {
my $self = shift;
my $chunk = shift;
if (my $url = $chunk->{'url'}) {
$log->debug("fetching [$chunk->{chunknum}]: $url");
$chunk->{'fetching'} = 1;
$chunk->{'requesttime'} = Time::HiRes::time();
Slim::Networking::SimpleAsyncHTTP->new(
sub {
$log->is_debug && $log->debug("got
[$chunk->{chunknum}] size " . length($_[0]->content));
my $fetchtime = int((Time::HiRes::time() -
$chunk->{'requesttime'}) *1000);
$log->error("HLS chunk fetch time $fetchtime
ms") if ($fetchtime > 300) ;
delete $chunk->{'fetching'};
delete $chunk->{'requesttime'};
$chunk->{'chunkref'} = $_[0]->contentRef;
},
sub {
my $fetchtime = int((Time::HiRes::time() -
$chunk->{'requesttime'}) *1000);
$log->warn("error fetching [$chunk->{chunknum}]
fetch time $fetchtime $url");
delete $chunk->{'fetching'};
delete $chunk->{'requesttime'};
},
{ cache =>1, expires =>HLS_TTL_EXPIRES,
timeout=>HLS_SEGMENT_TIMEOUT }
)->get($url);
}
}

This is not a released plugin - it is still test and in development. The first post has an URL for a repository which will give the user the latest version of the plugin. The repository has the change history which is the same info as the post you referenced. It is still a test version plugin because BBC haven't yet announced DASH is public and fully supported. The BBC still make small changes often to underlying system. It is clear the BBC still haven't figure a way to address some issues. For example, there many many program on BBC site which are not in DASH format - so if a user decide to use BBC beta version of web player (i.e DASH) - they will find some program will not play. Furthermore, there are other issues which needs to be resolved. So using DASH can only be recommended to users who understand these issues and do not need handholding and realise it may break any day. So widespread use of the plugin is not a good idea. 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

I do plan on releasing a Windows 10 version, but the Win Phone version was not a Universal App and porting it is a non-trivial matter. The Android version has required a bit of work in the past few months and I haven't had time to work on the Win 10 version. I'm also dragging my feet a little cause the Win 10 version would be the fourth time I've rewritten this app and I'm getting a little burnt out. Besides, I'm still a little angry that Microsoft announced the Universal App program a couple months after I finished the app and less than two years after they told everyone to write Win Phone 8 apps.

They have been getting closer to DASH for 2 years but the BBC still have to make some hard decisions (and then develope and test as required) about how to handle the existing programs in non DASH formats (none of their apps or web player handle more than one format concurrently - unlike the BBCiPlayer plugin !) and will they keep streams such as as MP3 or HLS for existing hardware. Given the mess they made in Feb 2015 and then also changing BBCiPlayer format for TV which broke a whole load of "smart" TVs - I think the BBC will move slowly wrt Radio. 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

There is a complex article on the BBC internet blog http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/internet/entries/768ae4f2-7933-42d7-9a12-c71dfacf12b6 which looks at how they have designed the new android app with DASH as the relevant stream.
