Nothing in the URL should initiate a delay. Had you played this url within the previous 24 hours ? If so did you delay the stream ? Did you delay any BBCiPlayer live stream stream in the previous 24 hours ? LMS caching in some cases has a long expiry and I'm wondering whether somehting is being

Hi Bpa, The time on the server is what I thought as well but as I said it was correct within 1 second, I've just rechecked:- Code: [root@myserver ~]# ntpq -crv -pn associd=0 status=0618 leap_none, sync_ntp, 1 event, no_sys_peer, version="ntpd 4.2.6p5@1.2349-o

With Live streams each packets has an URL which contain the time of day based on a reference time. The estimated delay is a calculation using the time code of the packet against the LMS sever time as supplied by the OS. This seems to say your LMS server time setting could be wrong.

I think LMS maybe too old as 7.5 is very very old. Your descirption of previous use is very confusing (128kbps MP3 , R3 320 is probably AAC) but then you mention iPlayer - did you use BBCiPlayer or not and did you have proiblemn befroe with BBCiPlayer plugin ? Something very strange is
