JW Flash Player - Stream Shoutcast Radio - Radio pauses/breaks up according to many users.

I setup the jw flash player and embedded it in an html page. We use a shoutcast server streamed by Spacial Audio. In the beginning it seemed to work great. But the users started complaining of skips or stops. A simple reload of the page fixes that. Also it seems to fall behind the live stream over a time.

The page the player is used on is: http://www.radioherzclub.com/live/jwplayer/player.html

Thanks for your help!

so what is the question? what specifically in your code do you need help with?

The code seems fine to me. I don't understand why people are having issues like, pauses, disruptions in the music, or after a few hours it stops playing and needs to be refreshed. The buffer is set to 10 sec.

you can't control their own network traffic, even with a 10 second buffer... nor can you control whether or not they are having hardware issues...

a computer can only handle some much at one time...

test on an old crappy PC for a bit... see what happens...

Thats a good idea. We have a fast internet connection. i will have to try at someone else's place.

Is 10 secs enough? or should it be more or less? Does it even make a difference with a live stream?

Thanks!
