Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: BBCiPlayer Plugin (UK only)
Not sure if this is a problem unique to me or if it's affecting others too? For the most part everything is working fine on my setup but there seem to be a limited number of listen again programs that refuse to play - when I click them they show "connecting" and then nothing happens. Most notably I see this on the Kermode and Mayo program and Fighting Talk, both on 5 Live. I can access both streams using the BBC Sounds web page but no luck via LMS. I'm located outside the UK but that hasn't affected listening to these programs in the past but we've not been able to access either of these programs for a number of weeks now so it seems this isn't a temporary glitch. Is anybody else experiencing issues with these programs or are there any suggestions as to why they may be particular troublesome whilst the majority of other programs play perfectly? mr nick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

utgg wrote: The alpha plugin does seem a bit flaky to me - what are you running LMS on? The start-up processor load is very high on my ARM based NAS, which is no slouch (1.6GHz), and I suspect this is the reason the streams often don't start first time for me. They will usually go if you then press 'play' again. If you revert back to the old plugin with patches, you may need to reset the plugin settings/preferences, and also delete cache.db to clear the cached LA listing data. So, after multiple failed attempts to get this working on my current LMS setup on a Banana Pi I dug out an old Raspberry Pi and installed the alpha plugin on there to see if it was any different - and sure enough I got working live and LA streams, albeit with quite a bit of re-buffering. I then went back to the Banana Pi and had another go but no matter what I try I just cannot get it to work.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer rebuffering
Sorry I've not responded to this earlier - I didn't get a notification of a reply and the problem hadn't reoccurred until today whe the power blipped again and my settings got reset again. It seems the only settings that aren't getting saved are the iPlayer ones - all the standard LMS settings are retained properly. From what I can remember, the installation was done using *squeezeplug_rpi_707* and then iPlayer was added using the standard LMS webinterface to add a new plugin. Not sure if you need any more info or not to advise what may be causing the settings not to be saved. mr nick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101437 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer rebuffering
I'm running LMS on the Pi and the players are a Classic and a Boom - the classic is the one that we see the problem with most but that is because it is the one that gets most use, especially for listen again streams. I didn't realise that the transcoding things was neccessarily needed - it was just that the description states Deselect this for low powered servers so I assumed that as I was going from a quad-core Xeon server to a Pi that this was where the problem lay. mr nick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101437 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer rebuffering
I have recently run into this issue with frequent rebuffering. It seems to only happen on listen again streams in my case. The problem coincided with me changing the platform I was running the software on - moved from a full-blown Dell server to a Raspberry Pi. On the Dell unit there was never a problem but after moving to the Pi it was almost impossible to get more than 20 seconds of a listen again stream before rebuffering. After reading a few posts about similar problems, I turned off the 'Allow Transcoding' option and this seemed to do the trick but the issue has re-surfaced since. What I then found when I went back to the iPlayer setting was the transcoding option had turned back on. It seems that despite using the 'save settings' button, the settings are actually only saved as long as the server is running and after I reboot the setting reverts back to the default 'on'. As I'm using a Pi it ordinarily stays running 24/7 but we tend to suffer a lot of power blips here which drop out our power for a second or two and thus the server gets inadvertently rebooted, often without me knowing - until I play a listen again and find it to be rebuffering. So my question is Does the allow transcoding option turn back on by design or is this a bug? If it is a bug, is it common to all platforms or is it specific to the Raspberry Pi? Is it likely down to a permissions issue on a particular file? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. mr nick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101437 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] BBC iPlayer refuses to install
I finally discovered the cause and it was of my own doing. I have an app installed on my PC which forcibly checks for updates and updates itself whether I want it to or not - and unfortunately the latest release is buggy so in order to stop the forced update I put a block on the GoogleCode IP address in my router and as a result this then blocked the BBC iPlayer plugin from downloading. I temporarily unblocked the IP while I updated the plugin and it all went nice and smoothly. I've put the block back on the IP address now but I'll certainly remember to unblock it next time I want to carry out any updates. -- mr nick mr nick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=83146 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] BBC iPlayer refuses to install
I originally posted this query in the Squeezebox Server section but got no feedback so I've posted here in the hope I get something. Sorry if this is considered 'cross-posting'. Anyway, I'm running SBS 7.5.1 on WHS. I am trying to enable the BBC iPlayer plugin but when I check the box to enable the plugin, when I restart the server the plugin is just sitting in the Updated plugins available section and remains disabled. I've rebooted the server and this still doesn't allow me to enable the plugin. I have been able to succesfully enable and disable other plugins while trying to get this working and everything works just fine apart from the BBC apps. I then tried installing SBS on my Win7 box to see if that responded any differently but it behaves exactly the same and refuses to install.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] SlimNAS Internet Radio Issues
I have been running SC on Windows Server 2003 for years now with no issues but I've decided to get rid of the server box and replace it with a FreeNAS unit instead. I have installed FreeNAS 0.69 and SC7.3.3 and the music streaming side of things works without a hitch but I can't fathom out how to get the radio working. When I look at my SC homepage on the FreeNAS box I see a very different list of options: [image: http://mrnick.bpweb.net/images/nas.png] If I use the 'Tune In' option, I get timeout errors all the time. I have also noticed that if I try and use the extension downloader then the list comes up blank so I'm guessing there is some sort of issue with the internet link but when I use the FreeNAS ping tool it will happily ping Google etc so it looks like it's OK. I'm hoping it's just me being exceptionally numb and missing something blindingly simple - is anyone able to shed some light on these issues? -- mr nick mr nick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67609 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] SlimNAS Internet Radio Issues
The IP was initially set by DHCP and the DNS server etc appeared to be correctly picked up. The fact I can ping external IP addresses from the FreeNAS box would appear to back this up but just in case I altered the settings from DHCP to manual and put in everything by hand but I still got the same results.
