Streaming NTS radio - glitchy - other stations fine

[xewisog304]

I've been experimenting with minimstreamer and now have it up and running, although I can't claim to understand it well yet.

It works well on most streams, but one station in particular - NTS - is very glitchy. I've opened the same stream in VLC and it plays perfectly.

In the following `m3u`, NTS1 and NTS2 have problems, but the rest are fine.

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,[Rin;aac,48000] Rinse
http://206.189.117.157:8000/stream
#EXTINF:-1,[WW;aac,48000] WorldwideFM
http://worldwidefm.out.airtime.pro:8000/worldwidefm_a
#EXTINF:-1,[Res;aac,48000] ResonanceFM
http://stream.resonance.fm:8000/resonance
#EXTINF:-1,[NTSUS;aac,48000] NTS1
http://listen.ntslive.co.uk/stream
#EXTINF:-1,[NTSUK;aac,48000] NTS2
http://stream-relay-geo.ntslive.net/stream2

Grateful for any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong

Are you sure these are all streaming in 48000 Hz? The BBC streams use this frequency but I haven't found any others yet.

This is unlikely to be the reason for the problem. I will do some experiments and post back here.

Edit: Both NTS streams are using HTTP chunked encoding. This is unusual and MinimStreamer doesn't yet support it. I will look into adding this support.

I'm not sure they are using 48000 Hz, to be honest I just took the bbc template and edited it and it worked! I need to tidy it up.

Thanks for checking NTS

Same encoding problem with Rinse France? It seems to glitch in the same way as NTS.

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,[RinseFrance] Rinse France

Yes, this is the same issue. Perhaps both these stations are using the same streaming software that encodes the stream in this way.

The problem with playing streams that use HTTP chunked encoding is now fixed in MinimStreamer 2.0.5.
