Bugzilla – Bug 9801
remote streaming stops constantly
Last modified: 2009-07-31 10:31:10 UTC
When using remote streaming with squeezecenter via http using http://username:password@server:port/stream.mp3, the stream will play for a minute or so and stop. It will restart, only to stop again in the same amount of time. The system has been rebooted and the library rescanned after the update. I am using foobar2000 to play the remote stream. My library is made up of mp3 files and I have the remote player configured to bit rate limit to 96 kbps. There is no problem using 7.2. Others have experienced the problem as well: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54108 The logs show no errors regarding this.
Some more info... I can replicate this using remote streaming locally (i.e. not over the Internet). 3 times in a row, it has stopped playing between 1 1/2 minutes and 2 minutes. With bit rate limiting left to default (320 kbps), I'm seeing the same exact behavior. Note that my mp3s are encode at 190 kbps VBR, so 320 kbps essentially disables bit rate limiting.
Fixed in 7.2 trunk change 23715.
This bug has been fixed in the 7.3.0 release version of SqueezeCenter! Please download the new version from http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html if you haven't already.
