Description tim courtney 2009-01-13 20:34:13 UTC

CBS radio station streams take 5+ seconds to stream.

Same streams on competitive products stream in 1-2 seconds.

It took a while to figure out this was not a latency issue with the FW.

thanks!

QA to investigate. 

Please turn logging to debug for player.source & player.stream*

recreate the error, then attach your server.log file to this bug

do you have proxy streaming on or off?  settings > player > audio > mp3 streaming method

Does the same thing happen if you are connected to SqueezeNetwork, or only on SqueezeCenter

What version of SqueezeCenter are you running
What firmware version is on your Boom

There is no error.

One of the developers on the forum said it is a known issue.

I could not find a bug report so I opened.

Issue is with SC and SN, on both commercial and beta FW and loads.

Test yourself with station 610 and 1210 am in Philadelphia.

thanks!

Our stream scanning is pretty complex and does probably result in 
extra delay if a stream has many alternate streams or nested 
playlists. I have been meaning to improve this but haven't got around 
to it yet.

Yep, that's the issue.

Comment 5 tim courtney 2009-01-16 16:45:50 UTC

Any estimeate on eta to fix?

Thanks and keep up the good work.

I really like my boom!

Comment 6 Andy Grundman 2009-01-16 16:46:46 UTC

Note there is a workaround, and that is to use the direct stream URL rather than going via RadioTime.

Comment 7 tim courtney 2009-01-17 07:56:34 UTC

I have used all the links available outside of RadioTime. (tested am610)

They all work great on PC, Sonos, aol radio on iTouch, and RoKu but not on your product.

Should I return it or wait for a bug fix?

Note, this is just a CBS radio issue.

thanks!
