Does that mean that depending on the original format of the stream, and the type of player I'm using, determines whether extra processing / transcoding is required?
Should I be using different streams (e.g. not DASH) and different Streaming Preference settings in the plugin config? Is there a lowest common denominator for the players that I have? And if the BBC removes these streams, what are my options? Replace the player(s)? bpa wrote: > > Windows does something weird in interprocess buffering and seems to > needs lots more data than Linux or OSX.

This helps a lot in understanding the differences with the iPlayer vs. other streams. bpa wrote: > > I presume you updated the Favorite URLs after you installed 1.5.2 in > order to be able to use DASH format. I did not, which is why I mentioned that I could not find the BBC iPlayer menu item, as I could not find the latest links. I thought it might be pertinent. I now have the menu items and have tried these new links. Still the same, but I need to try the 1 min delay as mentioned earlier. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ spindoctor's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9855 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
