The portion of the log you posted doesn't really have what I'd like to see. Most common problem is something isn't entered right, or missing, for the API Key or the weatherstation you want to use. The latest version allows the weatherstation to be specified by US Zip Code, Airport Code, or wunderground weatherstation ID. There is a "switch" now on the settings page to select how you are specifying the weather station you are using. You also need a valid API key from weatherunderground.com A good test is to turn on debug for the SDT Plugin (go to your LMS web page, go to Settings, then the Advanced tab, and pull-down to the "Logging" selection, find "(plugin.superdatetime) - SuperDateTime Screensaver" and change to "Debug" and apply. Monitor the server log (go to the Information tab of the Server Settings page, and select one of the links next to Server Log File). Look for a line which has the http: call from SDT (should look something like:+ 15-10-31 20:38:45.9847] Plugins::SuperDateTime::Plugin::getWunderground (2968) async request: http://api.wunderground.com/api/xxx/conditions/forecast10day/astronomy/almanac/hourly/lang:EN/q/90501.json Copy the complete http: address (everything from "http://"; through the end of the line), and paste into the address of a web browser. It should return text information for all of the weather information in .json format. Bottom line, make sure you entered your API key correctly, and you've correctly selected your weatherstation. If you continue to have problems, I can send you my email address so you can provide a more complete log file. tcutting's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17402 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=14327 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I said it is hard to pin down. LMS has its own DNS lookup and caching which is different code to ffmpeg's so differences would not be unusual. The problem with HLS is that different segments are on different servers each one requires a DNS lookup. If the read request gets delayed - LMS buffer gets depleted perhaps just by 0.1sec at a time. LMS is using a single core and its own version of multithreading - a "select" loop (i.e. LMS looks at all I/O request that are ready and picks one) - however I don't know whether LMS is treating DNS request differently to others such as audio or slimproto. If a processing task such as plugin hogs processing and doesn't let LMS back to "select" loop - I/O are not handled. ffmpeg is properly multihreaded (i.e. if running on a mulitcore CPU there are more scheduling options) and ffmpeg could makes overlapped HLS network requests for audio so there is more leeway to recover from delays. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103435 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

But that's on Windows running as a DNS client, I have no idea what extra issues the Windows DNS Server might cause. The client issue is easy to fix, permanently disable the Name Resolution service (I think I have the name right) but be aware all DNS lookups now go out to the DNS server your router gives out in it's DHCP response. I point that at a Raspberry Pi running dmsmasq so that I have local site caching in my house, but without Windows doing any of it.

Wasn't there a Windows specific issue about Windows caching DNS info for too long ? I'm not disagreeing with your method to minimise rebuffering - just that the underlying cause of the problem was not detailed. The rebuffering is a difficult problem to pin down and as a result ther has been no defintive solution. I'm outside the UK so with lower data rates the issue is not as prevalent but when it starts happening I have tried multiple tests and added instrumentation to LMS and AFAICT LMS handling of DNS requests for BBCiPlayer plugin has some sort of problem when compared to ffmpeg doing the same DNS request on the same stream resulting in the plugin missing a segment. With live streams LMS can only buffer a few seconds of audio by delaying audio start. Once the live stream has started playing with each segment missed this buffer is depleted until you get rebuffering which is effectively stop and start the stream again. The rebufferiing is not as noticeable with Listen Again since whole p[rogram is available it is possible to refill the buffer while audio is playing in realtime bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103435 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

The above point about MP3 is wrong - if you disbale Flac then LMS would transcode AAC to MP3 so you are not eliminating any transcoding processing. ffmpeg and faad use the same encoding library - just that ffmpehg can handle http/ The issue is not really about faad transcoding but about processing time and time available to handle DNS while dealing with other LMS stuff. The main problem with the rebuffering is due to DNS and there are some fixes specific to this. You didn't say whether you are using Window or not and I believ there are specific DNS fixes to help Windows users. LMS is coded to run on a single core - it will only use another core is when a subprocess is created such as for transcoding (faad, flac, ffmpeg, lame). This means LMS has to deal with playing audio as well has HLS decode and DNS lookups - so the basic speed of the system will matter. Offloading HLS processing to ffmpeg means moving the HLS and DNS lookups to a second core and even on a single core (e.g Raspberry Pi) it is a second process and so can be scheduled separately. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103435 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Okay I want to apply this patch, but I have no idea how to do it. I run LMS in to Linux environments Max2Play and Vortexbox, so no windows type GUI and I am a complete numpte at Linux commands! Where in the directory structure is the file that needs to be replaced? Given time I can probably hack my way through the Linux commands necessary to do it, but any help with pointers on how to do that would be much appreciated.
