radio stutter

1) It sends an icy-metaint HTTP header (indicating the stream contains metadata in the ICY format) but the stream does not contain any metadata. This causes MinimStreamer to skip random portions of audio data, thinking they are metadata, which accounts for the stuttering you are hearing.

2) This is an ADTS stream with the ADTS headers in an unusual format. This causes MinimStreamer to skip the first part of the stream, looking for what it thinks is a valid header.

3) This is an https:// stream, which means that some players cannot play it directly (i.e., without MinimStreamer).

The most serious of these issues is 1). It means there is no possibility of MinimStreamer playing the stream correctly, even if MinimStreamer were updated to fix issue 2). I will add this fix to my to-do list.

Fortunately, there is a workaround. You can change the .m3u file for the stream to:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,[;aac,48000] RTRFM
http://live.rtrfm.com.au/stream1

This bypasses MinimStreamer and tells the renderer to read the stream using http instead of https. I have verified that this works correctly on my renderer.

Wow, thanks i was really looking forward to listening to the station after reading your reply, unfortunately i have not observed any difference after applying your workaround.

I have attached another log for your perusal.

many thanks.
