* Fiddling around with the BBCiPlayer plugin settings will do nothing to solve this issue. Changing the delay time only changes when in the time stream the plugin fetches buffer it does not change how many buffers or timeouts - in fact it could create a more intense burst of requests. The "delay" parameterrs is to fix a problem withgin in10 dealing with transcoding. No system details given but you may even be doing transcoding so delay change would have no effect then. * The 1.5.* changes meant that DASH stream only do one (1) DNS lookup as long (multiple HTTP request are sent within a persistent TCP connection) as there is a good connection to source. * Since messages occur in the night when nothing is happening shows the problem is systemic. * the other application which do not show errors - have you enablde logging on those applications or so they not show these errors to users ? This is a systemic problem you need to tackle the problem - not the symptoms. The BBCiPlayerplugin highlighted a problem which was already there (i.e. Unable to get players from SN message) by actively logging. You need to determine is your problem (i) local to a single PC the LMS server or (ii) does it happen for all on your LAN ? If it affects all devices - then work on devices closer to the ISP - router / modem etc. If DNS on the router is the problem. Disable the DNS server on the router and configure using DHCP to tell device to talk to real DNS server directly. For a small number of PC/players this may be best since you eliminate an extra step in processing. If you are not using DHCP configure PC locally to use DNS directly. If your LAN is IPv4 only - make sure devices are not wasting time doing IPV6 DNS lookups ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106409 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
