Depending on the router antenna design right up close to router can be a weak spot in signal strength - dipole (short straight antenna) have a doughnut shaped signal so there is a hole in the middle so right close to the dipole does not necessarily have the best signal. More likely is you wifi network as a whole is the problem - sending multiple data streams to sync players (as synced packets go in high traffic bursts) and it is possible another player has a bad signal , demanding retranmissions and affecting all other players. If your LMS server is also wireless - then it will compound problem. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

If in the same room better to test with a cable to determine. I can't look at the squeezelite networks test on the pi because i can't find the network test option. Network test is a specific SB h/w player feature. Squeezelite is a small Linux computer so any network test will do. So are you saying the boom should be smashing those network tests on all levels of data? Not with wireless and possibly not above 1500kbps. Boom has a small processor and it has its limits but should be able to handle WAV (1500kbps) with good signal/cable . If your boom can do 750kbps at 100% there is no need to go faster unless you are sending WAV or AIFF. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Yes and No. Expect 100% up to a certain speed but above some speed connection will deteriorate. You can test if orientation of Boom affects this.

It's definitely related to having a chunk list of 5. Every time I get merged chunklist now 5 chunks it underruns.

My system is completely wired, with a good BT fibre ISP Rebuffer occurs due to underrun and this is only logged explicitly if you have log player.source set to INFO or DEBUG The timeout message you logged indicate that BBC did not respond with requested data which means player will run out of data and you'll get uynderrun. IIRC the current BBCiPlayer HLS plugin closes the stream if it gets a timeout and doesn't try to recover. If the Slim::Networking::IO::Select::__ANON__ (147) Error: Select task failed calling message appears when using the BBCiPlayer plugin playing a hLS stream - it is normal due to waythe plugin has implemented HLS. I think this is the fundamental issue: why does the BBC fail to respond and when this has happened on my system I have tried modifying the plugin to repeat the request but BBC doesn't respond and it still times out. I don't know if it is an implementation error in Plugin, DNS or BBC issue because I haven't had time to investigate in more detail and the problem will not reproduce on demand. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The log had two sorts of errors which triggered the rebuffering 1. Timeout - this timeout is controlled by WebUI Settings/Advanced/Network/Radio Station Timeout - if it is 3 or less can you try increasings it to say 10. 2. Failure to connect but there are Radiovis error functionality around the same time - can you disable Radiovis in Plugin settings to if problem is related in some way. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The Radio Station Timeout is already set to 15 which I guess is long enough from what you say. This must be the default as I don't think I ever changed it. There is also a Radio Station Buffer Seconds which is set to 3. I'll change this to 15, which I suspect will just mask the problem, to some extent at least. I can't find a Radiovis plugin in Settings\PlugIns, although I searched my hard drive and found a file ...\Plugins\BBCiPlayer\RadioVis.pm, so it would appear to be part of the BBC iPlayer plugin itself. The only other plugins that may be of interest are all Logitech ones .. Radio v1.0, RadioIO v1.0, TuneIn Radio v2.0, but I suspect that they aren't relevant. rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The reason why I think 3 secs is too short is because BBC sends audio in 6-8 secs chunk and so when LMS is fetching next chunk sometime there could be less than 3 secs left in audio buffer. When timeout occurs the Plugin HSL implementation terminates the stream. Will do. And I'll set the buffer to 10s then - sounds like that is what the BBC require ...

Have you enabled logging to see what is happening and the source of the fault (e.g. DNS problem, http timeout, player comms) - sometimes other problems are present - getting a log of what precedes the fault helps to make sure that there isn't something else happening or there is some sort of misconfiguration. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Pi2 setup with max2play which sets up the lms server (and/or squeezelite if you want it to be a player too ) Works great as its a low power 24/7 setup Not sure how it would compare to your set up but 1gb ram makes it pretty nifty and does everything i ask of it Giza2020's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36318 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The rebuffering issue is particularly annoying because it seems to be network related either with BBC servers and or DNS updates and the rebuffering problem become prevalent for a burst of time (which for me usually last only a few hours) and then goes away. This means if you make a change and rebuffering stops - you cannot be sure that the fix has worked or it is just a good time. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] What is the best way to get BBC Radio these days (from the UK)?
Thanks. Good to know that at least I am running the right iPlayer version etc.. Am running LMS 7.7.5 on a Win7 64bit dual core 3.1GHz i3-2100 desktop with 8GB ram and SSD. It otherwise works very well! It seems that a lot of people are having buffering problems, and for me at least there are definitely good and bad days. Guess will work through it all, just there are now so many posts, and I don't even know which posts are relevant since I believe BBC have changed there end several times over the last few months. rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
