MinimStreamer reconnect when recording

On Friday and today I got 18 minutes of audio and 1.25 hours respectively, I'm theorizing that the stream pukes because I have my kids playing Minecraft, I'm running Citrix and my wife is watching YouTube.

Plausible ? Maybe I need to slim down the stream ? I'm using the non-uk lower bit-rate AAC stream for BBC Radio 1.....

If you can correlate the recording failures with other network activity, it is very likely that the other network activity is causing the failures.

In theory, it would be possible for MinimStreamer to attempt to reconnect to a recorded stream after an occasional random problem. In your situation, it sounds like trying to do this would result in repeated failures and increased network load.

It sounds like you are already using the "slimmest" stream, so no further slimming would be poissible.
