Assuming Stop actually worked from your software control points (not the player itself), would it solve the issue for you? It still isn't going to record hours of streaming, regardless. toby10's Profile:

Depending on the station, and I am listening to streams found via internet radio search ranging from local to faraway NPR stations as well as various AM stations, I can get anywhere from 30 seconds of buffer to literally 7 or more minutes (All of LA Woman and more.) This is a terrible behavior.

When I am listening to an Internet Radio stream and I hit the Pause Button [||] the stream pauses. And it stays paused for many many minutes. So that five minutes later, if I hit Play, the stream starts up just where I left off. Which is sort of nice but not what I want. I'd prefer that Pause

I don't understand the issue. 1. Which player? 2. Pause does not pause/stop the basic Internet Radio streams (i.e. it does not start where it left off) 3. Pause will pause/stop and then resume where you left off when using subscription type streams that offer that feature 4. Press hold

Which radio station? The Squeezebox CAN NOT just pause a normal radio station, it would have to store hours of music (in extreme cases) while the only thing it really buffers are a few seconds. So this has to be something that has a mechanism to remotely start it at a certain position, like a

I rarely pause, and I haven't tested how long it will do it for, but I've been seeing the same behavior (a true pause, even on internet radio). I know it doesn't make much sense but it DOES seem to be happening. I'm running LMS 7.7.2, listen mostly to WAMU (http://wamu.org/), and my SB hardware

Ok, so I just tried it with Radio Paradise on my SB3. I paused the stream for about 3 minutes or so and when I un-paused it I had not missed any audio. The stream picked up right where I left off. At this point (about 3 minutes behind the live stream) I paused it again and left it for about 6
