The Flash/AAC streams provided by BBCiPlayer are supposed to sound
better (I believe AAC has some psychoacoustic features) than MP3 or WMA
of the same speed.

The symptom of playing for a sec and then stopping sounds like part of
an  BBCiPlayer characteristic of early v0.9 where it played, stopped and
then continued playing. V1.01 changed the buffering to eliminate it.  I
think this behaviour is/was more prevalent with 128k speed links for UK
users which I cannot test as I only get 48k

You are right. I was running PC Tools Firewall on my laptop, and Windows
firewall on my desktop. I switched from PC Tools to the Vista firewall
and now I can see the laptop in SS Preferences. However it still doesn't
store the laptop, so every time I load SS I have to redirect it to the
laptop.

Could the firewall on the PC running Softsqueeze be blocking receipt
and/or transmission of  broadcast packets ?

Can you get the firewall log and see if any packets are being blocked ?

You can turn on your server logging network.protocol to DEBUG and then
start Softsqueeze.

When Softsqueeze starts up - it broadcasts a Discovery message which
should appear in the Server log as follows:

Code:

If no Discovery message then PC which is running Softsqueeze is
blocking outgoing broadcast as I assume your server PC can receive
Discovery requests from your other players as you can see your SBS
server name on the player display (i.e. you did not enter address
manually).

Yup - found it in the registry. The nearest thing I can find to the

Slimserver is set to 192.168.1.67 which is the IP address I want SS to

set to 127.0.0.1. I have attached the section registry ..

When you enter the IP address - it is normally remembered in the Java

directory protected so they can be written.

Prefs are in the normal place for java apps - look for something ending

It should work without any assistance. It normally to the discovered

I moved SBS to my laptop (Vista, dual core) and it seems to work
slightly better. One question. Every time I start SS I have to go to
Preferences->Networking to type in the IP address of my laptop. Is there

The sync seems similar - works on radio,  but on FLACs the first track
is fine, and then SS lags by 1/2 a second or so.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer stopped working - hangs on "Waiting to sync"

2010-01-20 Thread bpa

I have a suspicion that with SS - wireless SB3 have a greater tendency
to lose sync. The tendency to lose sync also seems to be higher when
using Flac (either native Flac or transcoded streams) compared to MP3
(either native or transcoded to MP3).

I believe there is a small bug in the SS code either in sync or thread
locking and as a result doesn't work as well as it could with the new
sync mechanism of 7.3.x.  Unfortunately, I don't fully understand the
protocol used and there are so many possible configurations, it's hard
to know where to start.

Funnily enough it seems be working this week. I haven't knowingly
changed anything. iPlayer even syncs v well with the SB3s. Only problem
is every so often it just stops, but that is fairly rare.

Regarding the sync of FLAC files (just FYI, I realise you are not
focussed on this), what seems to happen is that it syncs initially, but
when it moves on to the second track in the playlist a gap appears that
stays.

I will try putting SBS on my laptop which is dual core running Vista.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer stopped working - hangs on "Waiting to sync"

2010-01-18 Thread bpa

Sync will never be reliable with soft players so I am not looking into
that issue.  

When trying to reproduce the problem - I noticed that I could only make
it happen when SBS and SS were running on the same system and even then
only when using XP - so I think the problem is some sort of scheduling
issue which probably shows up a single core Windows system. The
following may be a possible explanation but more investigation would be
needed. When SS waits for events - sometime it can use a lot of CPU
which is not a probable on multi core system but on a single core
systems, if SS is waiting for an SBS message - SBS may never get a
chance to send the data to free SS.


BBCiPlayer plugin should play every time with SS - that is an issue
that needs to be examined.

Well today it seems to be working, most of the time. But still not 100%
reliable.

Another odd thing is that SS and the SB3s sync perfectly with the
radio. But when playing my FLAC files, the SB3s sync perfectly, and SS
initially syncs but after a few minutes a lag forms of a second or so.

I am using XP's firewall, and AVG 9.0.

The processor is "AMD Athlon XP 2800+". If I remember correctly the

I tried it with the firewall and AVG turned off and no difference

- BBCiPlayer streams using AAC. For some reason it doesn't state the
bitrate

- 1.5GB memory, 2.0GHz. I do check in Task Manager and generally it
seems ok. I have a 8Mb internet connection that generally works very
well.

- Java  version 1.6.0_17 (taken from SS Preferences dialog)

- The server PC on which SS and SBS run is wired into the router via
Ethernet cable

- SS Audio Settings are the default: Primary Sound Diver / 128000 /
JLayer. It does say that I don't have the "Java MP3 Plugin installed
..." but seeing as iPlayer is AAC I dont suppose this matters too much.

- Audio device on board (ASUS A7NX8.0 delux motherboard with nForce

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer stopped working - hangs on "Waiting to sync"

2010-01-15 Thread bpa

I ran some tests with BBCiPlayer playing live streams with an SB3 and
Softsqueeze 3.9b1 on an SBS 7.5 Ubuntu system (both SBS and SS on
Unbuntu) .  Audio synced very well and no crashes.  It is possible that
the BBC stream which is 48k may be slightly different but since the
stream gets transcoded into Flac

So I think the problem may be SBS config, Windows, or system related.
- When playing BBCiPlayer streams is it using AAC format and if so have
you altered the standard AAC filetypes setting ?
- What speed of processor and memory is your SBS server ?
- What version of Java have you installed ?
- Is your SBS wired or wireless to internet ?
- What are the Audio settings of your Softsqueeze ?
- Do you have a special audio card in your PC or is it standard
on-board ?

Yes but the BBciPlayer has two parts - getting data from RTMP packets
and then passing AAC audio to players. Problem solving is about
isolating the issue.

The illstreet48.pls stream is an AAC stream which makes it near
identical to 2nd part of BBciPlayer - so it looks like the problem is
not related to transcoded streams which I know SS still has some
specific problems in relation to syncing.

There are 2 SB3s on the setup, one of which is often off. Quite often I
will get the waiting to sync message, but quite often it doesn't work
even if the SB3 / SS are not sync'd and I just try to play the iPLayer
on SS. Sometimes I can see it buffering, maybe get a split second of
sound, and then it will stop. All a bit unpredictable. Odd since
everything else works.

E.g. right now I have them unsync'd, SS will play other radio stations
quite happily, but will play nothing on iPlayer. If I try to play
iPLayer the sound just goes dead (with the VU meters where they left off
from playing the previous radio station). It says BBC Radio 4 in the Now
Playing screen but nothing is happening. If I go back to play a "normal"
radio station again then everything is fine, sync'd or unsync'd.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer stopped working - hangs on "Waiting to sync"

2010-01-04 Thread bpa

Softsqueeze 3.7 has problem with transcoded streams such as WMA when
running with SC 7.3 and higher.  I think this probably jammed the synced
stream.

Softsqueeze 3.8 has a number of fixes but 3.9b1 is better.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer stopped working - hangs on "Waiting to sync"

2010-01-04 Thread Adlopa

> Make sure no player is synced.

And there lies the key... 

I have the SB3 synced with SS (for reasons to convoluted to explain)
and when I disable syncing, the SB3 works normally with iPlayer.
SoftSqueeze (SS), however, still will not connect to an iPlayer stream —
and this is after it worked normally for a long time. 

That said, an upgrade from SS 3.7 to 3.8 appears to have fixed the
problem and iPlayer streams are playing normally on both SB3 and SS,
even when they're synced. So, problem solved — though I've no idea how.
Could a recent SqueezeBox Server or iPlayer update have introduced an
incompatibility..?

Thanks for the pointer that lead to the fix, bpa!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer stopped working - hangs on "Waiting to sync"

2010-01-04 Thread bpa

Don't use Softsqueeze for testing as it has its own problems and could
be muddying the issue.

Make sure no player is synced.

Where are you based - inside or outside the UK ?

Can you use "tune-in" on Web UI to play this URL on your SB3 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r4.asx 

If the above fails then the issue is not BBCiPlayer plugin but the BBC
URL.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer stopped working - hangs on "Waiting to sync"

2010-01-04 Thread Adlopa

This is playing through both SoftSqueeze and a SqueezeBox 3; the server
has no AV software installed (but is clean and is used for nothing
else). 

The Windows XP server config hasn't changed AFAIK — the streams just
stopped working one day (though I can't rule out a Windows update or
23...). 

All other streaming radio stations seem to be OK — it's just the
iPlayer streams that won't work.

What model player ?
Do other WMA streams play OK ?

What security s/w have you installed such as Norton, Kaspersky etc. ?

I'm not sure how much of this is useful — it's beyond my ken, I'm
afraid. This is everything from today — I started playing a streaming
radio station at 8.00am (Radioio) and then turned on those debug
settings before trying to play various iPlayer streams from 11.00am.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] iPlayer stopped working - hangs on "Waiting to sync"

2010-01-03 Thread Triode

Is there any useful debug before this - this is saying something is
wrong but it probably happened before this point.  Could you enable
plugin.bbciplayer.rtmp and pluing.bbciplayer.parser debugging (on the
logging setting of the advanced settings web page) and post what they
show in the log when you try to play something.
