    Some radio streams not playing on Boom

    Set up a couple of radio streams as favourites on my Boom. Everything worked fine. Suddenly some of the streams stop working.
    The streams start up, show the logo, speed, current track and file format, ticks on about ten seconds, then they stop.
    Checked the settings and lo and behold, I wasn't logged in on mysqueezebox.com.
    Logged in and tried again. Same behaviour.
    Any hints?

    Give the URL of a problem stream so others can test.

      Other online streams/stations play fine? Only a select few will not play?

        One is FIP radio on Radiotime, the others three 3WK streams (mp2, 128 kb/s) on Radiotime. FIP stops on 128 kb/s and renegotiates to 32 kb/s but stops again. No sound on either stream.
        I tried 3WK on Shoutcast, same behaviour.
        Swedish P1, P2,P3 on 192 kb/s streams well (AAC).
        They work fine on Touch and Squeezelite.

          Boom cannot play AAC streams by itself (connected to MySB.com). It will play AAC if it is connected to LMS server on your computer.

            It is connected to an LMS server on a NAS. And the 3WK format is MP3 128 kb/s CBR.

              Could be the NAS is struggling to convert the AAC streams. Try some other MP3 streams on Boom. Try rebooting LMS.

              Also try Boom connected directly to MySB.com (no LMS) to see if 3WK streams ok then.

                I have two NAS, one "serious", it shuts off and on everyday. I tried logging into SB.com but it just sits waiting. Gave that up. I can play the stations if I sync with my Touch.
                Peculiar too that I can't play WIMP FLACs directly from WIMP, but it works from WIMP in Ickstream...ordinary FLACs from NAS play OK. Weird. These stations are the only ones I want and suddenly they don't work...

                  Sounds like a NAS or networking issue if you cannot even log onto MySB.com we page. Is Touch connected to MySB.com or LMS on the NAS? You are playing AAC streams when this "sync" works?

                  Try running LMS on a full computer, see if that resolves the issue. Then you will know if the issue is your NAS, which it sure sounds like.

                    I have no idea. How do I see that?
                    >You are playing AAC streams when this "sync" works?
                    Both AAC and MP3

                    Try running LMS on a full computer, see if that resolves the issue. Then you will know if the issue is your NAS, which it sure sounds like.
                    The Boom played these radio streams, suddenly it can't. I will not start messing about with LMS on my PC. Since both LMS servers (different versions) create the same behaviour I rather suspect the Boom.
                    But it is not that important, just a bloody nuisance...

                      Some radio streams not playing on Boom

                      Zombie,

                      You have TWO LMS servers on one device?

                      Just switch over to mysqueezebox.com by going to Settings on Boom, then to
                      Music Source and select mysqueezebox.com then see if tge provlems still
                      happen.

                        Both AAC and MP3.
                        If you don't know which server the player is connected too, you cannot diagnose the issue. "Sync" AAC for Boom to play must be LMS on NAS.
                        "Sync" for MP3 stream could be either LMS or MySB.com.

                          Funny Boom doesn't play some CBR/VBR radio streams. Anyone know why?
                          Thinking about the Radio paradise FLAC VBR stream and all FIP radio CBR streams.

                            Suddenly the interactive RP stream works on my Boom. It has never started before (not in ages), now it does.
                            So it means that there was smth in the previous versions that didn't go well with the Boom, but worked with SB Radio and Touch.
                            This gives me hope that all FIP streams will also work in the future (like they did a couple of years ago).

                              Which streams do you refer to ?
