Description Dan Evans 2007-09-24 09:28:22 UTC

Currently if a station times out, the player faults to "stop" on the station it's trying to play.  Often if you press PLAY it will buffer and begin playing again.

Can we add an option/checkbox to tell the player to try to auto-play the station if it stops?  
Maybe add "number of retries" as well to keep it from infinitely spamming a bad URL?

Will review the outstanding SN bugs after 7.0 ships.

It is common to have a radio station set as the only track in a playlist. In this case, and if the playlist is set to repeat, then it will be restarted (once) after a failure, but only if that failure is actually reported as an error at the TCP level.
