I just tried connecting to SA and ARRRgh!, it doesn't stream.. strange cuz i get maybe like .25 seconds of music then it rebuffers and after it's gone.  I tried resetting my hardware -maybe i'll try again.  Peace Out

Hi,
it's me again.  There is music to be heard coming out of my speakers!  Ciao!

Hi there Krimhead,

Unfortunately there has always been an occasional 'blip' in the music that is streamed, however, SAM (the broadcasting software that is used to run the radio station) is very intelligent in the way that it handles any buffering or packet loss, so such events are normally minimal.

Coincidently, I had a meeting with the local Telecoms company today and have paid for an even faster and more secure dedicated connection for the Source 'SAM' Server. This will go a long way to making such problems (however slight and infrequent) well and truly a thing of the past.

I'll post a more detailed update in the 'News Section' when I have a moment.

I have to confess to that minute 'blip' being down to 'user error' - in other words, your's truly messing around with the database when he should know better by now ... ::)

Its allright, almost like a buffering problem for a short period, so its not that serious (in fact I didnt have any problems with buffering for a while)

I just found it a shame that after both the server host undergoing a router upgrade over the weekend and me upgrading my business line for me to then balls-up the broadcast by clicking on the wrong button !! :-[

S.A. not working for me this morning, what a shame...

My ISP are performing work on the local exchange today.

Apologies, there will be intermittent uptime throughout the course of today.

Incidently, I wasn't notified of this at all ... >:(

That is really fun..... Well, I'm gonna wait for the return of the station Dee, meanwhile, have a great day!

Max

Just for your information: I have not been able to hear a single bit of music all day.
But, assuming and in full confidence it will be back asap, S-A is worth waiting for.

True Tux, let say that Stellar Attraction is an important part of a healthy day. And let say that nothing beat S.A. for the quality of music. I have been looking for a potable station all morning, and found nothing... I AM DEPENDENT OF S.A.!

All,

As you've probably gathered, everything is back to normal again. :)

Work was carried-out today which involved upgrading the dedicated Business Line which runs from the SAM source server to the ShoutCast servers in London.

Together with the recent upgrade in London, this will ensure even further increased stability, performance and reliabilty all around.

Again, apologies for the downtime but I wasn't made aware by the local Telecoms company that this work was in fact going to be carried out today.

Enjoy.

Many thanks and enjoy.
