hi again guys, having me some major iplayer problems now, which is odd, as normally that works perfectly.

running 3.2 stable with h264 fast mode.
happens with all streams (800,1500) and servers (akamai, limetime)

the errors mean no data is coming in. it's likely a network / cdn issue - you could try forcing stream source in preferences. not much can be done apart from that.

the xbox is not really hung, just waiting. lower the stream source timeout to say 30 seconds (plugin settings), and it will not wait as long.

yeah xbox is still accessible via ftp. but why does STOP button not work for example?

i have a run a continous ping from a PC nearby and see no connection issues on my network or ISP. but i agree it looks like network issue. not sure.

anyone else having problems with iplayer?

because the socket is blocking / processing of the input is on the same thread I guess. or something like that.

ok, well thanks for your help Buzz. i actually managed to finish the programme ok. xbox has always seemed sensitive to network problems, not sure if this one is my end or not!

[Smiff]

still lots of dropped streams, not reliable at all right now. i need to head over to main forum i guess. :/
