Odd. I can hear it, no buffering, qualitys good now that I have everything connected right. This is through AoHell on a 56K modem. Whats going on?

It's working perfectly! Ziroc did say it works on a 56k Modem. Mine cuts out every 15 seconds. It reloads the buffer or something. If you are using Winamp, can you turn off buffering, or is that not a good idea?

Ziroc, have you put the banner back up? I can´t see it. Before I could see it all the time but now? I can hear you just fine though...

Edit: Love the music! Excellent choices Z! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

I can see it fine. Try a refresh.

DJG[/QUOTE]Turning off the buffering is a way bad idea, you actualy want to turn the buffer up. What it is, is it saves 5 or so seconds of the radio and plays it, so if the connection slows it has a bit in memory. If your connection is on average faster than 24Kb/s, your buffer will tend to stay full and you will only get cutouts when you do some heavy net activity. If your connection is slower than you will get cutouts every time the buffer is emptied.

With no buffer you will get whatever portion of the audio gets to you - depending on your connection this may be perfect, or crap. Whereas with a buffer, you always get a perfect playback, but not neccaserily all of it.

In short, run with a buffer unless you have lots of bandwidth without much activity.

And the banner only changes when your browser re-loads it. Since the browser only sees filenames, it thinks the picture Ziroc currently has up is the same as the one in cache. Till Ziroc fixes that, dont trust the banner. I think I saw a way to handle this easily a while back, if I dig it up Ill post it.

Could the easy way be to remove the files from your temporary internet folder? I just did and guess what, the banner appeared.

[andrewas]

I was just about to post an easier solution. IN IE (not garaunteed to work in anything else, but it might) hold CTRL and hit refresh - causes IE to chuck all its cached images from that page, and download again.

Works great Z! [img]graemlins/awesomework.gif[/img]

Where do you guys see this banner? I've never seen it.

EDIT> Ooooh, Z I like UBB 6.3.1! Way cool...
