[SlimDevices: Plugins] BBC iPlayer keeps rebuffering

2014-06-25 Thread nfshirley

Hi

I am experiencing a few issues with the BBC iPlayer plugin which is
firstly a fantastic plugin and secondly has been working very well for
over 5 years.

I don't believe anything has changed on my network.  I am running LMS
7.7.2 with plugin v1.1.12

I have tied BBC2, BBC3, BBC4 and BBC5 and they all play and work for a
bit but they keep rebuffing every 30 seconds or so.

I have completed a line speed test a few times and it would appear that
I have a fairly constant 20mb download.

I have tried other normal radio stations, such as Heart or Jack FM and
neither of these does it, it just seems to be BBC iPlayer that is
effected.

I wonder if anyone could assist me trying to work out if I have some
issue in LMS or if it is a BBC issue - I don't really now where to
start.

Is there any logging that I can look at all?

Sorry if I haven't given enough information or that I don't know the
inner workings of LMS or the plugin - they have both just worked for
me!

Anyway, any help or advice would be really appreciated.

Many thanks

Neil

I have had the same issue recently. LMS 7.8.0, plugin 1.1.10, with a
much slower internet connection.

Solved by changing the plugin settings and removing the FlashAAC and
Flashmp3 options.

Ithe the Flash in the name genuinely uses Adobe Flash, it is possible
that that some of mysettings to cut down use of Flash on Web pages have
affected its use in iPlayer.

I have been experiencing the same for the last few days, using LMS 7.8.0
and iplayer v1.2.12 under fedora 20. 
Nothing has changed on my setup in the last week and s incenumerous
people are reporting a problem I suspect the BBC are the problem (unless
we are all on the same ISP but I doubt it, I am with TalkTalk business).

Same here, particularly bad this morning. Tried Tunein and same there
with the AAC stream. As stated earlier changing to WMA fixes it so it
sounds like a BBC problem.

2014-06-25 Thread nfshirley

Thanks to everyone for replying, it sounds very much like the issue is
with the BBC's iPlayer service and that I should wait a while before I
start changing everything to see if I can resolve it.

Although, I am tempted to remove the AAC and Flash settings that 'danco'
mentioned and see if it changes anything.

Hmm, to tinker or not to tinker.

Thanks again though everyone, it is very pleasing, in a strange way, for
it not to be just me!

If you do tinker, it's easy enough to set things back to the original.
It's just a matter of making a choice from a list in the iPlayer
settings.
