Main/Security page). Thank you Paul for all your most valuable help. It has taken some time but finally I have my SQB radio up and running again. The solution was simply to reset the pcp time to the present using 'Putty' as you recommended. I had to use the format - sudo date -s "2021-06-30 12:00:00". This immediately cleared up the lack of third party plugins, the several 'timed out' errors and brought both Spotty and BBC Sounds back and up and running once more. fmanchu's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33960 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113045 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Main/Security page). Thank you Paul. I have followed your advice but failed to log in with 'admin' and 'piCore' as recommended so have not been able to obtain a faster time setting. Further, I find that the possibility for modifying QoS is not possible on my router so have been looking at other solutions. I have moved the wired Ethernet connection to a switch only one removed from my router - previously it was connected to a second switch. Unfortunately I have no possibility in connecting it directly to my router with the idea of speeding things up. On another tack, a further problem has surfaced which may or may not be linked to the first. I can open my rpi using the normal IP address from any browser. However, if I reboot picoreplayer and wait the 40 sec or so to return to 'main page', i get an error message - Unable to Connect - Firefox cannot obtain a connection to the server'. However, if I wait a minute or so longer then hitting 'try again' connects me as wished. Something else which mystifies me is that if I log in and connect to mysqueezebox.com, I find that my SQB Radio is not connected - actually non of my players are connected. Of course they are connected to my piCorePlayer but with no third party plugins so no spotty or bbc Sounds. And all this started, after months of no problems, when we had a power outage for a few minutes one night recently. Once again, any good ideas will be most welcome.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce : BBC Sounds Plugin
Many thanks to everybody who has come up with useful suggestions on 'rebooting', 'restart' and more which I have now followed. I have even re-downloaded piCorePlayer/LMS to my Raspberrypi - unfortunately still with no success in solving the following 'warning' at the top of the Plugin Tab page - Bad repository https://github.com/LMS-Community/lms-plugin-repository/raw/master/extensions.xml - Connect timed out: A consequence of this is now my lack of access to any third party plug-ins so I can longer check my earlier problem with BBC Sounds where I also received a 'connect timed out'. So, in the first place, help needed please to solve the bad repository problem. Once I get the third party plugins back, I may need further help with both BBC Sounds and Spotty - but let us wait and see. fmanchu's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33960 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113045 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The only 'happening' between these events was a general power shut down for a few minutes during the night (- this I only know from my burglar alarm messaging service) which has had no effect otherwise.

Thank you for your suggestions, Paul but, having checked the regular LMS web interface, I find the problem remains. So unlikely to be an iPeng issue - as you write.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce : BBC Sounds Plugin
I have recently updated my hardware to a rPi4B and LMS to v8.0 and am enjoying the new possibilities, for me, of BBC Sounds, now that BBC iPlayer is apparently nearing its end. All is well except for one strange defect under 'listen again'. Programmes from around 2016 (according to my limited research) and earlier do not play - with the message "cannot open file for: Play". I am using BBC Sounds v2.6.8 However, if I return to BBC iPlayerextra using A-Z (the only 'listen again' option possible for the moment), I have no problem playing really old programmes (if i can find them after running through many contents pages ;-)) I could of course continue with doing this, but using BBC Sounds would be so much easier. Am I missing something here?

Apparently no solution as yet but it just might be worth noting that the iPlayer radio app (ios smart phone - unfortunately not SQB) allows me to listen to the few programs that I cannot get on my SQB radio. Am not expert enough to know what this means other than that somewhere there is a format and corresponding URL that works. My temporary solution is to just plug in a matchbox sized bluetooth receiver to my SQB radio and play from my phone. Just might be of some use ;-) fmanchu's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33960 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I have recently experienced several 'unplayable' iPlayer listen-again programs. However, your solution of replacing the URL has worked well for me. Have had no difficulties over the last days of any kind. Great! I am non-UK with LMS 7.7.2 running on a ReadyNAS with settings: DASH>HLS>MP3>FlashAAC and 15 sec delay. Of course, iPlayer is now version 1.6.3.1 and it should perhaps also be mentioned that at no time has iPlayerextras 2.2.0 ever given me similar problems. One again, a huge thanks for your efforts in keeping us all listening with an absolute minimum of 'down' time.

But solved ( sort of ) by simply hitting the skip to next item double arrow button whilst waiting for the connecting status to end. Works every time. Good luck with it - until a permanent solution is found. By the way this is using a SQ radio.
