Bugzilla – Bug 8448
Cannot play BBC stations 1,2,3 and 4
Last modified: 2008-12-22 14:29:09 UTC
Four UK customers are reporting that they cannot play BBC 1,2,3 and 4 stations. The stations appear on the menus display of the SB, but they constantly showing “timed out". All four stations work fine via Squeezecentre. This issue has been going on since 6/11/2008 as far as we know!
Yeah, but until I can find a way to test the streams they aren't going to get fixed.
I don't really know which component you need to test here, but if it helps I don't mind letting you control my squeezebox via my SqueezeNetowrk account. I'm guessing that you can't play the BBC streams from outside the UK which is why you can't test the stream. If this is the case you could log on to my acocunt and control my player from there. I'm assuming that the stream goes through SqueezeNetwork which would mean you could then debug. If however the stream is direct from player to (BBC) server then I guess this won't work.
There's a theory that this is a noscan issue, as opposed to a BBC issue: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=313220&postcount=11
Someone else has noscan timeout problems with non-BBC streams: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=313696#post313696
Should be fixed in r20970. I am unable to test the BBC stations but they should work now. Allow 1 hour before testing.
A user reported this very exact issue yesterday July 9, 2008. Reopening bug.
Are these still broken?
Please re-open if this is still a problem.
This bug has been fixed in the latest release of SqueezeNetwork! If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
For some time the BBC stations Radios 1 -4 have been working ok, but the problem identified in this bug has recently recurred. Approximately 1 in 4 times I try to connect to any of the BBC's four "UK only" stations the connection fails and I get a "timed out" message. All other stations (including the rest of the BBC) continue to connect correctly.
