Great - this seems to work. Like you say, Skip to the Start is probably
the most useful feature which I hadn't even realised existed!
Thanks very much for your help

1 min skip back is not worthwhile doing - the plugin thinks less than 1
mins is just a delay by BBC.  This was done because timestamp of audio
packet being played can be delayed by BBC.

Change skip back to say 5 mins and then skip forward to 30 secs or 1
min.  It is easier to overshoot backward and then edge up forwards.

I found the "M" thanks - never noticed it before.

Using Squeezer on Android which is a bit easier, skip back still doesn't
seem to go back more than once (nor on IE). Frankly I am not quite sure
what it does after the first skip back. However the "Skip back to start"
does work as expected!  
I have now set skip back/forwards to 2 / 1 mins respectively. If I go to
the beginning of the program, then skipping forwards seems to jump
either 2 or 3 mins (rarely 1 minute as expected), but at least it does
work. Skipping back seems a bit random, not sure what it is doing or
even that the time delay indicator is correct. Sometimes it seems to
skip back as expected, sometimes it seems to actually go skip forwards!

It should skip more than once.
On "Live " you can skip back usually up to about  3 hours.  Most typical
use is to "skip back to start of program" - which for a Radio 3 concert
can be about 3 hours.

So is there a way to get the "context menu" on my Windows IE browser
that I use to control LMS on my PC? Right clicking just brings up IE's
context menu. Or am I a bit out of date using IE!?

I can get Skip back to work on Squeezer on my Android devices, although
it seems it will only skip back once. So as I currently have the skip
back time set to 1 minute, I can go a maximum of 1 minute back. Is that
right?

On Listen Again. >> & << work OK on players as they require a long

Skip forwrad & back of a live stream is only supported for DASH.
After I had implemented ffw & rew of a live stream, I trialled had a
version of the plugin which used >> & << to do the action. 
However user feedback was that it was confusing as >> & << buttons were

Have you tried using the context menu? I have never used the << or >>

[SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer skip forward/backwards doesn't work

2020-11-10 Thread rbl


I'm running iPlayer 1.6.9 on a Raspberry Pi4 running LMS 7.9.2 -
1578996832.

If, listening to say BBC Radio 4 live, I press << it just goes back
about 1 second, and >> goes forward about 1 second (I think) .

On listen again, clicking on the progress bar works as expected, but <<
and >> is similar to the above.

iPlayer Settings:
- DASH->HLS->MP3->FlashAAC
- Use highest bitrate
- Minutes to skip: 1 minute
- allow transcoding: enabled
- show OnAir Text: enabled
- Live text: Bottom line
- Seconds to delay start live stream: 5s
- buffer fullness: 255

I have three wired SB3s.

Any ideas? I don't think this has ever worked in the many years that I
have used iPlayer.
