675678 2008-06-04 22:12:00 I have always had trouble with BFM, it works sometimes but will randomly lose the stream. Sometimes it won't even start.
Makes no difference whether I choose 32bit or 128bit. I have tried several media players as well.
I have 2 PCs, this one and my home PC, its the same regardless.
Lately I have been using VLC and this is what it reports when it can't find the stream:
It beats me, I've spent ages trying different things at my end to no avail.
Yesterday and today it won't work at all.
Other radios stations all work just fine and never give me any trouble.
BFM themselves have no idea.

The Windows Media stream is no longer available, apologies for any inconvenience.

675680 2008-06-05 22:06:00 Come on guys, I've had this problem for ages, someone must be able to interpret the VLC report and have some idea? pctek (84)
675681 2008-06-05 23:20:00 pctek...is bfm the Auckland Uni music station?? Have you tried Cool Blue, also from Auckland? Have you had snow yet? PJ. Poppa John (284)
675682 2008-06-05 23:25:00 To be honest it looks like the stream is offline - the 404 responses mean the same thing as if it was a webpage: "nothing here guys". I don't think it's a problem with your setup.

Are you trying to play the station from an old playlist entry? If so, maybe get the new link from the site.

Do the channels at sky.fm/ or http: work for you?

675683 2008-06-06 00:00:00 Try it again Now - I tried it yesterday and Nothing would work, no matter what Player I tried, today it opens and plays fine - they may have found the problem:thumbs: wainuitech (129)
675684 2008-06-06 00:31:00 It still will not work in Firefox. At all. In IE it did today though.
I always used it with Firefox.

Also last night I tried it at home again and it worked through Firefox. So what gives?


Yes, I have a list of other stations, yes, its Akld Unis BFM (I like Lawline among other things), its only this one thats such a pain to get going.

CactusLab (who do the techy stuff for BFM) were totally unhelpful.

675685 2008-06-06 00:36:00 Have you had snow yet? PJ.

Its windy here in Gore, not 130km yet though.

We won't get snow, Wyndham gets sleet, hail, frost. It may try to snow but thats it.

Don't think Gore has had snow either.
Go a bit further out - west, south, north, and yes there will be snow.

South and west will have the hideous winds, Wyndham is likely to have less wind.


Its actually nice and sunny and quite warm at the moment, meant to disintegrate later tonight.

675686 2008-06-06 02:18:00 Is it a peering problem perhaps ? Used to get that with Cool Blue... and indeed, noticed it again today !

WHo knows, its all better at the moment, but it does this a LOT. I've been emailng cactuslab too.

Great, I'll avoid Cool Blue too then.......
