I've now had a proper look at your log. Essentially, 4 times during that log your players are asking the live stream to be rewound by a few seconds by calling a seek to a specific place in the stream. Sometimes this causes a gap, sometimes it doesn't but it would always cause an audible hiccup. I'm guessing that is all part of the synchronisation logic. However, this all part of the problem. The BBC Sounds seeking logic is only accurate within 6.4 seconds (it does it by chunks that the audio is provided in). The live rewind is meant to be a convenient and useful way to rewind live radio, not a facility to jump to a specific point in time accurate within a micro second. It is just not intended for that purpose. I've no idea how the synch logic works and when it uses the seek facility to keep it in synch. I'm guessing that one of your players is running ahead or behind your other players for some reason, but I guess it wouldn't need to do it by much to cause a problem over the hours you are synchronising live radio for. That is probably normal. There may be a setting I should set to prevent the seeking facility being used by the synch logic, I'll ask in the developer forum. But I hope that explains the problem to you. *BBC Sounds Plugin Wiki* : https://github.com/expectingtofly/LMS_BBC_Sounds_Plugin/wiki ------------------------------------------------------------------------ expectingtofly's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63263 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113563 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
