skipping internet radio

[ferrouswheel]

If I try any of the radio stations from http://di.fm I get almost constant skipping.

Using latest download, Windows 7 64 bit.

Tested this on the same connection using multiple media players. It's a MM thing.

Please fix?

Seems to be fine running Windows 7, 32bit...

You might want to see if changing output plugin help (Tools > Options > Output Plug-ins).

I get random skipping and repeating of the music when listening to some internet radio stations. There seems to be some difference in how the data is being read from the network.

When a station is working fine, the debug logs don't produce much output and look like this:

[5496] MMDS: Written 101376 bytes
[5496] MMDS: Written 101376 bytes
[5496] MMDS: Written 101376 bytes
[5496] MMDS: Written 101376 bytes

[5496] MMDS: Written 101376 bytes
[5496] MMDS: Written 101376 bytes
[5496] MMDS: Written 101376 bytes
etc etc.

But for the stations that don't work, this sort of thing happens:

[5496] MMDS: Written 101376 bytes
[5496] INWMP3: We can read 64512 more HTTP data.
[5496] INWMP3: Read 376 HTTP data.

[5496] INWMP3: We can read 64136 more HTTP data.
[5496] INWMP3: read = 1600 bytes.
... etc etc.

Perhaps the fact that it claims to be trying to read 1024 bytes and actually reading 1600 bytes is a problem.

Hi there,

I was experiencing the exact same issue.

Windows 7 - 64 bit

I changed the output plugin and it improved the issue dramatically - but not 100%

using winamp I get absolutely no skipping, using the default mediamonkey output plugin I get constant skipping (every few seconds) when I change the output plugin I get 1-2 skips per minute (much better than every few seconds) but it still skips.

any other suggestions or solutions to this issue?

Creating a debug log (step 4b) and sending it to support may give the best insight into the problem: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69
