Announcing MinimServer 2

Your renderer (which identifies iself as LUMIN??) starts by making a normal streaming request and reads a small amount of audio data. It then closes the connection and makes a byte-range request to MinimServer (start streaming from byte offset 917504). This is valid for a disk file where the byte offsets are always the same but is not valid for a radio stream where the byte offsets are changing all the time.

MinimServer cannot handle this and sends an error response to the renderer. The renderer keeps trying and eventually gives up. The two seconds of audio that you heard is what the renderer received before it sent its first byte-range request.

The only solution is for the renderer not to send byte-range requests. You could try transcoding the stream into other formats such as L16 or WAV to see if that makes any difference.

Okay thanks Simon. Yes LUMIN is the system on my iPad that I use to control the streaming and NAS playback. Funnily enough I was looking at the transcoding instructions the other night and was struggling to even know where to start. Could you give me some tips on getting that done, or point me to a thread where you have already provided that advice? Thanks.
