What's up woth the streaming?

acatalept	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 12:30 PM streaming is still working fine, and i can live without resumable downloads for now... at least i can get tracks to download in a single shot about half of the time (only because my dialup is an error-ridden pos that likes to disconnect the other half of the time). however, i noticed it's possible to seek within a streamed track - by any chance, is the streaming method similar to whatever is used to serve downloads? if so (or even if they're completely different, depending on what you're using), might it be possible at some point in the future to enable downloading of partial content (ie, starting from a given offset) to support something like the happy old resumable way of downloading? i'm sure you don't want download managers pounding your servers with abandon, but i only use a single connection at a time - it's just that having to start a transfer over from the beginning several times gets a bit... discouraging. i know i'm nagging , and this is sherly a minor problem, that would probably require a major time investment on the part of fu-dog and whoever else works the backend of this whole dmusic beast... but i'd be highly obliged if something could be worked out . i'm sending some details to fu-dog... prolly extraneous, but what the hell, if it helps...
Jennae	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 5:38 PM :shrugs: we really need to sort this. Is there any better way than sorting this issue person by person?? Some people don't even realize that it's an issue and jsut assume it's dm in general. detouring them indeed. Honestly I'm a bit the same way... :shrugs: I can't stream at a music site :sigh: and I know many are still having issues.. And I am using 2.91 WMP and I just read that is working for someone else, but then again my media player works fine with other music sites while streaming.. :think: just can't seem to sort it. " id="65319">I just thought I should share this point with you all.. even though joe I know you are busting balls here... "the streaming is not working for me so i was leaveing...how are you doing today??" we really need to sort this. Is there any better way than sorting this issue person by person??

kredd	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 6:29 PM i haven't been able to stream for 3 days!!!!!!!!!! keep getting server errors or timed out errors
Jennae	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 7:05 PM only 3 days please post your media player type and web browser being used and specify that you know you are left clicking.. Fu will want to see if there are any connections.
fu-dog	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 8:08 PM Jennae, it doesn't necessarily need to be sorted person-by-person, but i do need to in some way experience the error to collect data and understand the trouble. Today i spent the day at leflaw's on various business tasks, but in between i found he was having an access error to streams as well. The alterations i made today to the 'Recent Uploads' (main page, genre, and artist based) should clear up the troubles most people are experiencing. " id="65332">Please try the "recent uploads" streams and let me know if that works for you. I have made adjustments there that should take care of most if not all problems. Either way i'd like to know if the alterations i've made are functional.

fu-dog	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 8:41 PM It's not the individuals equipment or software, and yet it's only affecting certain users. Therefore i need the affected users help me in the process of solving the issue.
fu-dog	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 8:44 PM says this error is related to the Windows Media Player 7. Is this the version you're running?" id="65338">Jennae, Microsoft says this error is related to the Windows Media Player 7. Is this the version you're running?
Jennae	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 8:57 PM nope 2.91 WMP
Jennae	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 8:59 PM I know of many users having the problem.. I did notic however before when I COULD stream when I clicked a link it would automatically stream it 4 times each time I clicked it once.. now when I click to stream (as if I could) there is now only one time it is streaming, unusual for me.
Jennae	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 9:01 PM grrr that is wimamp 2.91 I instal WIN MED PLAY 9.0 to see if that would work but it didn't and I deleted it.. hell I have tried so many things I ahve no damn idea what i have anymore.
Jennae	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 9:04 PM windows media 9 series comes up on the error log I get
Jennae	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 9:06 PM That's a go on the recent upload streaming fu dog I got play back we are that much closer!
fu-dog	Date: October 15, 2003 @ 10:14 PM Most of the major streaming links on the site should now be working. Artist pages, Charts/thebin for each genre, the radio stations, recent uploads, today's top 10, and user playlists should all function with the new setup. The remaining links i'm not changing tonight should work for the majority too... but those folks that have been having problems, you're out of luck until i can change the link structures. Sorry about that.
