I haven't tested them all but most of the others play with a small delay except [JFM] which produces 'NetworkSource: stream error response HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error' in the MinimServer log.

I have had the same experience with the Bubble local renderer, although I will try it again to be sure. The problem is that this is an intermittent behaviour (the worst sort). Sometimes (with either renderer) they play straight away, and sometimes (with either renderer) they don't. I'm fairly sure that the stream spec file is ok - it has worked for years without these symptoms. I have had problems with Jazz Fm (JFM) before - I think the URL I am using is flaky.
