I'm using the excellent BBC iPlayer plug-in, for which I'm extremely grateful to bpa and Triode. Just recently I ran into a strange problem which I'm struggling to resolve, and multiple forum/internet searches for other information have drawn a blank, so I'm hoping somebody can point me in the right direction.
I recently upgraded my system from scratch on a new server - the before/after setups are:
**OLD**
Raspberry Pi running Raspbian 8 (Jessie)
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.0 - 1456927571 @ Wed Mar 2 14:43:18 UTC 2016
BBC iPlayer v1.3.1alpha3
BBC iPlayer Extras v1.8
**NEW**
mini PC running Debian 8.8
Logitech Media Server Version: 7.9.1 - 1494667952 @ Sat May 13 09:45:11 UTC 2017
BBC iPlayer v1.5.2
BBC iPlayer Extras v1.9.5
In the new setup I have a problem with delays to the BBC iPlayer radio stream. I don't mean buffering as such - often it's playing an hour behind the live service. It's particularly disconcerting when the radio comes on as an alarm in the morning! :^) For instance, we were woken at 8am this morning to hear the 7am news broadcast.
The problem doesn't happen with non-iPlayer radio, so it seems likely that (the plugin) is where it's happening. I've disabled the skip forward/backward options but no change. I've tried using a 'stop' command via. LIRC but apparently that makes no difference. So far the only way that I can find to do this is setting the player to "Stop at Power off/Remain stopped at Power on" and pressing the power button. That said, the controller (e.g. iPeng) still indicates that the stream is paused rather than stopped, and it only resets when I power it on again later. The problem happens using both Squeezelite on a Raspberry pi and also through iPeng on an iPad, so it looks like the player/client itself isn't the culprit.
Is there any way to disable this behaviour and return to the older approach?
Many thanks,
Richard
