Just wanted to chime in as I am having the same problems as the OP. Love
your plugin and very grateful for the time you have put in to it.
However my partner has started streaming from her tablet as she can't
stand the constant rebuffering.

On the DASH thread - even with 1.50 a user on W10 is having rebuffering
on live streams. Bizarrely - rebuffering occurs on the high rate
128/320kbps but the low rate of 96/48kbps of same stream won't play at
all - DASH or HLS.
So my currently hypothesis is that it is a W10 issue (I have a W7

I've posted an update of BBCiPlayer which I think should address the
rebuffering problem. I don't want to release as a general updgrade as
it needs more testing so if you want to use try look at the post in the

I created a plugin called PlayHLS which used ffmpeg/avconv instead of
VLC and it was part of an early attempt back in Feb 2015 - See the
BBCiPlayer thread.

News to me (at least) that the VLC player handles the various BBC HLS
streams ok.

it might be of interest to people having problems playing BBC quality

It took around 7 rebuffering attempts before it played the HLS
MP3 started first time, everytime.

I think the assumption that the "internal network is Ok" may be only
half true. A lot of the BBC rebuffering / stuttering issues are to do
with poorly performing DNS.

You don't say which version of the BBCiPlayer plugin andwhich protocol

In either case if you are playing HLS or DASH streams especially on
Recently (for at least a month) when I start iPlayer it says
"rebuffering" for 10-15 seconds. After the feed starts to play it drops
out a few times due to "rebuffering" starting playing in between each
dropout. After 2-3 minutes it plays just fine and carries on without any
glitches. This is

It seems the only settings that aren't getting saved are the iPlayer

You haven't given any detail about your setup in particular what sort of

The allow transcoding fix is only applicable to players which do not

If you are using a
I'm running LMS on the Pi and the players are a Classic and a Boom - the
classic is the one that we see the problem with most but that is because
it is the one that gets most use, especially for listen again streams.
I didn't realise that the transcoding things was neccessarily needed -
it was
BBC main format is AAC either in HTTP or Flash and AAC needs transcoding
for the older players such as SB3/Classic and Boom.
When you prevent transcoding - the iplayer plugin gets the WMA stream
and then the player will player it direct from BBC - server does nothing
not even passing audio toi
I have recently run into this issue with frequent rebuffering. It seems
to only happen on listen again streams in my case. The problem coincided

Does rebuffering happen with just live streams or just Listen Again
or both ?
What format (http/AAC. Flash/AAC, WMA or MP3) are you listening to
As so often happens, the problem disappears after posting about it. I
