HLS / .ts can't get to play

[drdr]

Hmm... I just tried with an Android UPnP client and notice that it shows "Connection: keep-alive" vs "Connection: close" from mplayer on the radio.

I thought maybe that was the issue.

BUT - I just tried the same command line that the radio is using, on mplayer on my Raspberry Pi and I streamed for 11 minutes (when I stopped it) without a problem (as opposed to stopping after a minute consistantly). It still does a "Connnection: close" with this version. Maybe the firmware on the radio needs a newer version of mplayer. Considering this issue is seemingly only via mininstreamer, it may be difficult convincing him to upgrade.

This is what the radio is doing and what I tested on the Raspberry Pi:
mplayer -slave -input file=/tmp/mpio -af volume=-20 -vo NULL -colorkey 0x020202 -cache 1000 -cache-min 5 -cache-seek-min 90 "http://192.168.2.106:9790/minimstreamer/*/R3"

Any idea about a workaround?

By the way, I tried the original HLS URL in the mplayer on my Raspberry Pi (without minimstreamer) and that still does fail.. It reads the first few chunks from the initial playlist and exits.

Thanks!
