Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] What is the best way to get BBC Radio these days (from the UK)?
Thanks. Good to know that at least I am running the right iPlayer version etc.. Am running LMS 7.7.5 on a Win7 64bit dual core 3.1GHz i3-2100 desktop with 8GB ram and SSD. It otherwise works very well! It seems that a lot of people are having buffering problems, and for me at least there are definitely good and bad days. Guess will work through it all, just there are now so many posts, and I don't even know which posts are relevant since I believe BBC have changed there end several times over the last few months. rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Pi2 setup with max2play which sets up the lms server (and/or squeezelite if you want it to be a player too ) Works great as its a low power 24/7 setup Not sure how it would compare to your set up but 1gb ram makes it pretty nifty and does everything i ask of it Giza2020's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36318 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I agree with this suggestion - you should post on an existing BBCiPlayer thread as this thread title doesn't highlight your issue is really rebuffering and not which hardware or URLs. There is some consensus on what can be done to reduce the rebuffering effect such as changing DNS server. The rebuffering issue is particularly annoying because it seems to be network related either with BBC servers and or DNS updates and the rebuffering problem become prevalent for a burst of time (which for me usually last only a few hours) and then goes away. This means if you make a change and rebuffering "stops" - you cannot be sure that the fix has worked or it is just a "good" time. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

But FYI I changed the DNS server to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and it is still terrible. Radio 4 has re-buffered several times this morning already... I can't believe BBC are this bad and it has been going on for months...

The log had two sorts of errors which triggered the rebuffering 1.

The Radio Station Timeout is already set to 15 which I guess is long enough from what you say. This must be the default as I don't think I ever changed it. There is also a "Radio Station Buffer Seconds" which is set to 3. I'll change this to 15, which I suspect will just mask the problem, to some extent at least. I can't find a Radiovis plugin in Settings\PlugIns, although I searched my hard drive and found a file ...\Plugins\BBCiPlayer\RadioVis.pm, so it would appear to be part of the BBC iPlayer plugin itself. The only other plugins that may be of interest are all Logitech ones .. Radio v1.0, RadioIO v1.0, TuneIn Radio v2.0, but I suspect that they aren't relevant. rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

IIRC the current BBCiPlayer HLS plugin closes the stream if it gets a "timeout" and doesn't try to recover. If the "Slim::Networking::IO::Select::__ANON__ (147) Error: Select task failed calling" message appears when using the BBCiPlayer plugin playing a hLS stream - it is "normal" due to waythe plugin has implemented HLS.

It's definitely related to having a chunk list of 5. Every time I get "merged chunklist now 5 chunks" it underruns. I've been seeing the following type of warnings today quite a bit so perhaps there are requests going on in the background that cause a process to timeout. I've tried to disable mysqueezebox in settings but it obviously is still running trying to sync. After this underrun, the stream stopped completely.

I think I'm reaching a similar conclusion. i think my boom is causing the buffering in my sync'd setup up with a squeezelite player on a pi. I'm wondering if the boom requires a better wifi signal than the pi due to the need to transcode the format but the pi doesn't?

Yes and No. Expect 100% up to a certain speed but above some speed connection will deteriorate. You can test if orientation of Boom affects this. Transcoded streams into Flac typically need about 50% compression so required datarate would be about 750kbps (since the BBC now uses 48Khz). To check what is happening enable player.source to log occurrences of underrun.

Depending on the router antenna design right up close to router can be a weak spot in signal strength - dipole (short straight antenna) have a doughnut shaped signal so there is a hole in the middle so right close to the dipole does not necessarily have the best signal. More likely is you wifi network as a whole is the problem - sending multiple data streams to sync players (as synced packets go in high traffic bursts) and it is possible another player has a bad signal , demanding retranmissions and affecting all other players. If your LMS server is also wireless - then it will compound problem. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Network test is a specific SB h/w player feature. Squeezelite is a small Linux computer so any network test will do. > So are you saying the boom should be smashing those network tests on all > levels of data? Not with wireless and possibly not above 1500kbps. Boom has a small processor and it has its limits but should be able to handle WAV (1500kbps) with good signal/cable . If your boom can do 750kbps at 100% there is no need to go faster unless you are sending WAV or AIFF. bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I'll give it another month or so and try the "proper" higher bitrate streams and see if the BBC have go their act in order yet ... rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I spoke to a buddy who uses his Sonos system to stream BBC Radio 4. He said it drops out about "once every two weeks"!! Which begs the question, what is wrong with the Logitech system!? rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

I'm currently not experiencing any problems with triode' iplayer. I'm using the fmpg variation with tplink powerline homeplugs between my touch and my rpi2 which is hosting squeezeplug/max2play and a 6Meg broadband connection. That said, what does drop is the mp3 logitech bbc radio feeds - this may well be less stable from the bbc end?

Has anyone made any progress with these BBC streams? They still seem pretty rubbish to me ... Although I get the impression that the breakups are generally shorter these days ... rbl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4517 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103797 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
