Thanks for this. New media segments are supposed to arrive from the BBC every 7 seconds. Whn the dropout happened, nothing arrived between 10:04:56.438 and 10:05:09.569 (a gap of 13 seconds). At that point, it appears the Sonos ran out of stream data to play and it closed the connection to MinimServer.

I don't know why there was a 13-second gap. This might be caused by an issue with the BBC servers or a problem with your internet connection. I will add some additional debug output in the next MinimStreamer update, which should provide more information. To prevent this, it might be necessary to increase internal buffering within MinimStreamer, which would unfortunately cause the stream to be played with an additional 7 seconds of delay from "real time" analogue radio.
