Thanks again for your suggestions with this issue - I had no idea that
my AV software looked as closely and affected network traffic to the
degree it obviously does as no other apps I use on a day to day basis
have shown any problems at all.

Use BBCiPlayer if you are the UK - better quality.
Main difference is AlienBBC enables playing of RealAUdio streams. UK
user get better quality MP3 "LIsten Again" - non UK have to use
RealAudio 48kbps versio.
If you want to listen to Regional (e.g. Scotland, Wales,NI) or Local

After installing squeezecenter - often user have to configure the

I think the wiki entry (

The BBC ASX playlist has a number of mms url so that load canbe spread
across them.
Your problem is not the mms urls and the ability to play them but the
truncation of the ASX playlist. I remember the issue came up a few
times a few months ago - I think in one case security s/w was blocking

Tried that to no avail!

The "Buffer" setting is amount data to be buffered in the player - it
has no effect in AlienBBC and will not affect this problem.
The message indicates the ASX playlist returned by the BBC either has
an error or the message has been truncated which happens with a

I already have my buffer set to 20 seconds and radio station timeout to
30 seconds because of the issues I had been having with Alien BBC.
What logging do you recommend to try to track this issue down?

The general reason for the "No items" message is that SC did not receive
a playlist or a valid playlist. Sometimes this is caused by a timeout
or congestion.
Before trying some extra logging options - try increasing network
timeout in WebUI Settings/Advanced/Network/Radio Station Timeout to

I stopped the service in Windows and then restarted it.
I have also rebooted my server.
Radio One live did start to play on one of my Squeezeboxes a few
minutes ago, but not the others. Now it wont play again. I did notice
a different URL when it worked (mms: ...) if that makes a difference.

If you have the same problem with "More Radio" link then it is a
general setup / Network /ISP issue and not specifdically a Plugin

Please don't install the plugin manually - it should now be installed
via Extension Downloader.
The first thing to do is to remove all traces of the plugin. Go to the
