Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - Constantly Rebuffering
If disabling the ->Flac settings improves your playback then you have problems in your Wifi network and the signal strength is probably too weak or there is interference. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58288 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - Constantly Rebuffering
Don't bother with AlienBBC - stick with BBCiPlayer. Apple routers used to have strange config issues with RealAudio and port 554 as it is a variant of the RTSP protocol used by Apple themselves and I think their routers used to get mixed up as it tries to manage the flow. BBCiPlayer uses Flash/AAC which is sent over http and port 80 and all i/o handling is done with SC. When using BBCiPlayer disable AAC->Flac. Since lame seemed to improve things - you should run a network test and check that you can get throughput of 1500kbps at 100% for at least 15 mins. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58288 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - Constantly Rebuffering
I installed Lame and disabled FLAC. The choice for RSTP -> MP3 is listed as 'mplayer.sh/lame'. It didn't seem to work until I restarted my router (Apple TimeCapsule), then it seemed to work fine; I could play different programs and switch programs without buffering. Then I went away from it for an hour or so, and tried to play something else. Once again, no sound even though the player indicates that something is playing. Of course, once I reset my router, it started playing again. -- lindburgh lindburgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19256 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58288 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - Constantly Rebuffering
If you have same problem with both AlienBBC and BBCiPlayer which have totally different sources of audio and different apps to transcode - it probably means you could have a problem on your SC to player. Port forwarding will have no effect. If you use wireless - try disabling RTSP=>Flac and install lame so that MP3 is used and see if it helps. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58288 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - Constantly Rebuffering
Lately I've been having lots of trouble with AlienBBC and BBC iPlayer again - constant rebuffering or no sound at all even though the controller indicates that the program is playing. If I reset my router, the programs start playing normally for a short while, but then the problems start again. It doesn't seem to matter what ports I open - it will play even without any port forwarding, so long as the router is reset. But the sound eventually stops and I have to reset again or just give up listening to BBC programming. -- lindburgh lindburgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19256 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58288 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

It's a setting it should be remembered - the "default" text is just a reminder as to the "recommended"/"initial" setting.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - Constantly Rebuffering
Could be a timecapsule issue AlienBBC uses RealAudio port 554 which is correct for RTSP PC browsers and RealPlayerplaying BBC will use port 80 (i.e RTSP over HTTP) if port 554 is blocked. It looks like there is some issue with Timecapsule blocking port 554. This happened when Airport Express was initially released as well - there was a fix so you need to check it out. See. http://flowusers.com/discussions/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=143 Evoke radio (and all radio using receiva chipset) only use port 554 and so can have same problem as AlienBBC. This users seems to think port 7070 may be the issue. https://inet.argonaudio.com/index.php?option=com_joomlaboard&Itemid=108&func=view&id=22924&catid=3 -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58288 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

No that's the GUI version of mplayer - you need to run the command line version. It's confusing as they are the same name.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - Constantly Rebuffering
It is strange that AlienBBC was working and then stops. Perhaps get a log to see what is happening. 1. Set player.source to INFO from WebUI Settings/Advanced/Loggin g and click apply. 2. Note Time and try a BBC "listen Again" stream. Wait at least 1 minute 3. Open the server.log (See Settings/Information) and copy log entries from noted time and add to a post. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58288 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - Constantly Rebuffering
That symptom usually means a problem with mplayer either not installed properly.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - Constantly Rebuffering
I have four duet receivers that are all synchronized. The test shows 100% performance at 1500 kpbs. I no longer get a rebuffering problem on any AlienBBC content. Instead, it seems like the track is playing (time indicator shows time passing), but I don't hear anything. That is the case for both listen against and live streams. -- lindburgh lindburgh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19256 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58288 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC - Constantly Rebuffering
The sort of rebuffering is probably not due to BBC - in which case it is CPU or Network and in your case the Network should be tested. AlienBBC will use Flac by default between SC and player which needs about 1500kbps throughput. Are the all the players synced ? Can you run the network test and determine what is the max rate which can be sustained for at least 10 mins at 100%. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58288 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
