There a few headphone thingy Proms this year, but there has been little promotion. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06drb3s Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109351 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

BBC did not commit to any further trials of Flac broadcast (or even spatial audio which they also trialled during Proms). bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109351 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I tried various combinations of Buffer Fullness and "Seconds to delay start live stream", but it had varying degrees of unreliability until the delay was set to 2 minutes. Oddly when the delay was set to either 15s or 1 minute, there was an actual delay of about 1'45 compared to DAB. With the delay set to 2 minutes, the actual delay was 2'35. Worth mentioning I have a good fibre connection so I don't think anything is going on there... On another note, the BBC 3 flac stopped working some time ago. I think there was a setting or something to get that FLAC stream to work? It display the programme information, but doesn't actually play any music.. rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109351 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Are you in the UK ? This should only affect live streams. It is a problem only with Windows systems mainly 10 but I suspect also 8 but oddly not all configurations. I don't have a Windows 10 system so I can't reproduce it nor debug it. I'm pretty sure the problem is due to a change in Windows process scheduling made in Win8/10 and it has affected the LMS support app socketwrapper. It will only be fixed by me when I get a Win 10 system - however for the moment my Win7 is adequate. Try reducing buffer fullness down to 50 - it will speed start up but too small also causes break-ups. If you are in the UK make sure you have the "use highest speed" preference. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109351 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
