That would be much appreciated. I've not worked out a pattern for when the HLS streams stop, but they do, so a way of automatically re-starting would be a great improvement. For what it's worth, Listen Again using Triode's plugin has only once failed mid-stream whereas Live rarely goes for more than an hour without a stream stop. I use Windows 7 so followed the recent comments about DNS handling with interest and ran Namebench. It suggested DNS servers different to the Google DNS I had been using but even having made the change I still experienced drop-outs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PaulinPosset's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=63060 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103481 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
