[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: AlienBBC 1.04 on 6.3 problems
The chain of data roughly goes as follows BBC-Mplayer-socketwrapper-lame-slimserver-SB3 Most buffering issues showup between BBC and Mplayer - however since your parallel test (assuming both Mplayer's ran on the same PC at the same time) - this would indicate the problem is between socketwrapper and the SB3 and becaause of the way things are buffered - I think the problem is somehow with slimserver. Can you give some system details Windows version ? CPU ? Memory ? Also what Server/Player settings/Preferences did you use to get the Buffering information on screen - I have never used this and I want to understand the conditions which make the message appear. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25095 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Inconclusive - Sunday morning is never busy except for the Archers omnibus on R4 IIRC. Can you have both the Squeezebox and PC with Mplayer playing same station. Turn the PC volume down and when the Squeezebox has problems - check the PC and see if any messages appeared or the cache has gone low (rightmost percentage on status - should stay around 10-15%) or if it doesn't sound OK (e.g. choppy). -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25095 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Podcast are in MP3 so it is not the same as the Listen Again which are in RealAudio. If Listen Again (not Podcast) play OK but live program show problems then it is likely to be a network problem. Some people have complained about gaps in live streams and blamed it on additional network traffic due to World Cup. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25095 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Most of the log is normal except for one Event starting message. All the Blocking message are normnal and the Buffering message is a display bug. Run the mplayer test bat file that ran on installation. Start listening to one of the live stations. If it plays ok on your PC then the problem is probably to do with SlimServer / Mplayer / AlienBBC. If you hear gaps or mplayer stops when running the test bat file - then the problem is the network, your ISP or your network connection. Let the test run for a bit of time say 10-20 mins as network errors are unpredictable - also mid afternoon on Friday is not a busy time. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25095 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
