Bugzilla – Bug 16154
If an internet radio stream fails, you can't replay the stream without first playing another stream.

A customer reported this issue and stated that it worked fine prior to the 7.5.0 release. Prior to the release, if an internet radio stream failed, he was able to press the back button bringing him back to his list of Favorites allowing him to just press the play button on the station that just failed to manually restart that stream. This is no longer the case according to the customer. He states that now you must play a different station in your Favorites first, then reselect the stream that failed to restart that stream. I have not been able to reproduce this issue with the particular station he's experiencing this issue with. The customer that reported this issue broadcasts his own stream and reported this issue with his broadcast. Below is the URL for his station. http://s5.viastreaming.net/7240/listen.asx
This is probably a consequence of the change for bug 14760
Team suggests possibly a 7.5.1 issue.
FWIW, I fully agree with Alan that it was the 14760 fix that is causing this issue. It seems like a secondary check for whether audio is currently streaming is also necessary?
Julius (or anyone) what device is this user playing his streams with? Thanks.
I think the problem is that SbS thinks that the stream actually is playing at this time. Either (a) it has failed without the player or SbS noticing yet, or (b) SbS is in the process of attempting to recover. For (b) there are some timeouts that must expire before the system will give up. It could be that, for (b), and alternate test would be more appropriate; I'll attach a patch shortly. A workaround would be to force the player into STOPPED state, by press-and-hold of Pause. Once stopped, it should be possible press Play again to restart the stream, either from the now-playing screen directly or from Favorites (as reported in the Description). Julius, please pass this workaround on to the customer.
Created attachment 6830 [details] proposed patch to permit forced restart during automatic retry
Chris, Sorry for the late response. He's experiencing this with a Radio.
