Hi,
I am using SC7, AlienBBC 2 beta 3 under Window XP.
It seems that if I listen to a Listen Again stream from Radio 1 and
then pause it, when I play it again it just starts from the beginning,
rather than resuming.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.

I think it is an issue with mplayer - if the stream is paused for more
than a few minutes - the TCP link gets reset by BBC servers as it
assume the player has jammed.

yes - it is a problem with mplayer and how it acknowledge TCP packets.
I think pause might work if you removed the --bandwidth 1000
options in the custom-convert.conf file but then it will take 10-15
secs to start a stream after ffwd or rew which makes ffwd/rew not as
usable. I think it
But it is quite possible to pause from within the BBC iPlayer for even
an hour or so?

View this thread:
There may be another cause of this link reset - an application called
socketwrapper (used as part of AlienBBC) also has a safety kill
stream mechanism.
In any event, since ffwd works for you - you can stop stream and then
later ffwd to the desired spot which is nearly the same functionality.
