That seems to be the problem, the buffer file was now at 980MB when the playback stopped. So this buffer is keeps growing despite the length of the stream to enable seeking. So, in theory, if I set the buffer limit to say, 500MB, I should be able to playback my radios (since the buffer is shrinked at the playback is not interrupted by some operating system error). What happens is that the buffer file stops at the 488MB an doesn't reduce the buffer length. My configuration: <buffer_limit>500000000</buffer_limit> <stream_length>-1 </stream_length> I'll reproduce it again and post the logs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TiagoOliveira's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64342 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102496 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
