Hello (Wayne),
I have Squeeze Ctrl and SB Player on a Leagoo M5 with Android Marshmallow. This is a fairly cheap phone which does data over 3G only (using UMTS frequency bands WCDMA-IMT-2000 and WCDMA-GSM-900) and I'm trying to get streaming audio working from mysqueezebox.com while I'm on the move in the Paris area, France.
When I'm on 3G, SB Player connects in Low bandwidth mode (which is fine, probably). After a few minutes of streaming I either get a "command stream error" from SB Player and then "data stream ended", or I also frequently get a "no players connected" from Squeeze CTRL. When the audio dies in this way, I can usually restart the stream manually almost immediately by first selecting another favorite and then switching back to the one I was originally listening to.
As far as you know, is having a constrant stream of audio over 3G while moving around on foot or in a car an achievable goal?
I also get the occasional disconnect over wifi at home in SB Player high bandwidth mode against mysqueezebox.com.
The bandwidth requirement for the radio stations I'm listening to appears to peak at 200 kbps. What I don't understand though is that when the audio dies I still appear to be using that bandwidth.
I should point out that I do also have my own LMS server at home and that streaming the same radio stations through that seems generally more stable but I don't at this point have the ability to connect this way when I'm not home. (Reluctant to open up my network to the outside world really...but I'll do it if I have to)
If you can suggest any troubleshooting steps, or solutions, I would be grateful.
Thanks, Nico.
