This is a slightly odd one, and it's taken me a few months to work out
what's going on. However, I don't actually know how to fix this, but I
think I can see why the problem exists.
First off, I'm running SqueezeCenter 7.2, on a Linux system, and
AlienBBC is working (almost) as it should.

It's not drift per se. It's more likely that your non SB player has
buffered up so much data ahead of AlienBBC (typically about 3-5
minutes)that acknowledgements are not being sent backto BBC from
AlienBBC - ack are only sent when music has been played. If no acks
have been received by server afte
I have a similar problem using AlienBBC with my squeezebox - usually an
hour or so (sometimes more or less) into a streamed listen again Radio
1 show it just restarts for no apparent reason. Anyone seen this
before?

I have repeat on - will try turning it off.
I notice that it seems to happen more often if I have paused the music
- it will often restart after playing for a short wile after being
paused.

It began happening after I upgraded to Squeezecenter 7.3. Alien BBC
completely stopped, so I deleted it from my computer and then
reinstalled it via the Extension Downloader. That got it going again,
but now it does this time out thing that everyone here is talking
about.

There is no difference in the applications which handling the AlienBBC
RealAudio between 7.2 and 7.3 - in fact no change since about 6.x.
The 7.3 only add different menu handling which is about obtaining the
URl toplay - nothing to do with playing.
I believe there was a firmware bug relating to

turned repeat off - no difference. this happened before the upgrade to
7.3
Generally if you pause a radio stream (especially a live one) it will
disconnect after a few minutes - so the "pause" issues is a separate
and distinct disconnect cause.
If a stream is left to play unhindered with no pauses - it then stops
after X minutes. The streams can be stopped either by SC
the streams I'm playing are mostly "listen again" streams not live if
that makes a difference - does the pause / disconnect issue impact them
the same way? I will have to check if it restarts if there have been no
pauses at all - I don't remember offhand if that happens too.

If it only affects "Listen Again" then you should try removing the
"-bandwidth 1000" option from the 3 command line in the
custom-convert.conf file ands restart SC. The "bandwdith" issues
usually affects streams withing 10-20 mins - 75 is unusually long but
possible. Removing "bandwidth" wi
I often get 2 hours of listen again without problems, and 4 or 5 hours
of live streams. This is with SC7.2.1/7.3, running on Ubuntu, and with
dodgy Internet connections in Philippines.

With AlienBBC 2.4 (and possibly 2.3) for 7.3 - this has been simplified
and there is now a AlienBBC setting "Fast Start" to enable/disable use
of "bandwidth".
Try disabling the "fast Start" and see if it makes a difference. This
feature will only affect "Listen again" streams. If live stream st
Got it - thanks. Thought I was losing it there.will try this and see
how it goes for a few days.

So the change I made doesn't seem to have made a difference - I just
paused the play again stream for a couple of minutes and when I
restarted it played for about 2 mins and then restarted again
Anything else I can try?

If your SB connects wirelessly then AlienBBC default use of Flac may be
stressing your connections.
Try disabling RTSP->Flac and RTSP->WAV (see
Settings/Advanced/FileTypes) so that BBC audio will be transcoded to
MP3. Make sure you have lame installed. MP3 streams will use less
bandwidth.
