Minimstreamer - Stalled stream

[alexm]

Hi Simon,

My stream of 6 Music stalled a few moments ago with this error below, thought you might want to know. Did I do something wrong??

Code:

It's just happened again, 20 mins later!

I've got Minimstreamer 0.5.11/Minimserver 0.8 update 64 installed on a Mac mini.

This means the BBC stream server failed to respond. In your m3u playlist, are you using the streams with 'llnw' or 'ak' in their names? I have found the 'ak' streams to be more reliable.

[alexm]

I'm using the 'ak' server.

It's a problem at the BBC end. MinimStreamer sets a read timeout of 3 seconds, which should be plenty of time if the BBC server is working correctly.
