Last yr. when working on a problem with AlienBBC/Mplayer I heard similar problems - they were usually at peak times Mon-Thurs 7.30am-10.00am and 5.00-7.30pm. At these times the BBC servers dropped data. With live broadcast, if data cannot be digitised and shipped out in time for whatever reason(e.g. network congestion, server load), the data seems to be dropped so that the broadcast remains up to date in real time. As the data is being dropped at source - no amount of additional buffering would solve the problem.
Besides extra load on BBC, all networks would be experiencing additional data traffic as there are many stations broadcasting and so network congestion may be part of the problem. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24863 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
