The URL plays OK on my LInux system using VLC but mplayer cannot play it - it shows odd errors. Have you tried enabling "proxied streaming" (WebUI Settings/Player/Audio) for the player. The problem seems to be when the stream is played directly by the player - it is OK but when LMS has to han

Same here, synced a boom to SBRadio, both played Radio Paradise, tried the Dianne Rehm show, neither played. Tried another NPR podcast and both played, tried DR show again and just caught a message on the Joggle screen saying "Unable to connect to server". Not much help, but your not crazy:D:

More testing and summary: Tried everything connected to LMS 7.9 running on a different server (Windows 8.1 machine). I get same exact error (error starting stream), but ONLY when any two players are synched. Unsynched players can play the podcast OK. Summary: 1. Same error whether server is 7.
