I usually listen to Listen Again stuff between about 6pm and 9pm (in

problem with the regular BBCiPlayer plugin. I'm pretty sure the prob

About your test: I'm not sure I can resume playback on a SB classic, can
I?
Bpa, I tried the test stream. All fine. Ran it for an hour and a half
while I made and cooked a nice fish pie, and not a break at all of any
sort in that whole time.
I'll check a browser for Listen Again tomorrow. i can use Chrome if
Safari is not a good test.
Thanks bpa, and here's my answers to your questions.
Yes, the Mac mini is running LMS, and its connected by ethernet to my
router.
The audio format of the file-based music I play from iTunes is Apple
Lossless.
My two Classic players are connected wirelessly. Ive never connected
them wired

I rarely use Live streams, so I'm talking here almost exclusively about

I haven't applied patches to the 1.3.1alpha3 plugin.
