Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer freezes occasionally
I have had this issue for ages. No problem when BBC iPlayer is set to WMA only, but we are losing those streams soon. Other settings always lose the program from time to time. Usually gives me the message rebuffierng 5% but stops at 5% and shortly gives me a message Can't open file for ... I have a slightly complicated setup, and I haven't been able to work out where the problem is. Because of location (router at one end of my flat, computer at the other, SB in between) I use Devolo dLAN devices to connect. So there could be a problem with my network, with my internet connection, or with Talktalk. I've never been able to tell which. The Devolo utility shows connection of the network, my router has the relevant lights lit, but the Network Diagnostic Utility says there is no connection to my ISP.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer freezes occasionally
Oh, and another issue, which is presumably a problem at the BBC end. I have been away for several weeks, and am trying to catch up with radio programs. Several of them are listed in BBC iPlayer Extras, but when I try to play them they just show as 00:00 and Stopped. danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102873 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer freezes occasionally
I updated Extras plugin in mid Dec to 1.6 this removed the menus which BBC killed in Oct and added a lots of iPlayer categories/latest menus but BBC killed off a few more feeds just before Christmas affects mainly R1, R2 and 6Music. I have an updated version of plugin which gets around this issue. If the program you have had problems are not R1,R2, 1Xtra or 6Music - please give specific example so I can check. Some programs are now UK only, they get listed but I cannot play them. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102873 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer freezes occasionally
On a slightly different note, does any one get drop out with iPLayer video? I use my Samsung BDH6500 smart bluray player, and it freezes every 10 minutes or so, albeit only for a second or two.

Perhaps it's part of the audio changeover that happening in Feb - no more WMA and perhaps HLS replacing other formats http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/playing_radio_progs/changes_audio_formats bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102873 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer freezes occasionally
I have used iPlayer for a long time and it is basically very good. However, every so often it freezes. Sometimes it kicks starts itself again after 10-30seconds, sometimes it doesn't. This happened on my old TalkTalk copper connection, but it still happens with my new BT fibre connection. I live in central London, and whenever I do a bandwidth test I always get close to 40Mb/s, and it seems very reliable so I suspect the problem is elsewhere. All my SB3s are wired, and I use SqueezeLite on my 6 month old Windows 7 PC. Any idea what it could be? rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102873 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
