Hi Eric,
No, we have no idea - we spent a day trying to get a stream to malfunction on the creacast server but didn’t manage, except when streaming super high quality stereo and that was on the streambox (raspberry pi) encoding end and not on the server (we will however try to fix this). Anyway the problem seems to have been localized in Chicago so my guess is that there might have been some kind of slowdown in traffic somewhere between Paris and Chicago, however I don’t know enough about internet architecture to speculate on this. The provider hosting our (dedicated) server also hosts french national radio and have, to all intents and purposes, unlimited bandwidth, so it is unlikely that it was on their end, however, please let us know if anything like this happens again and we will contact them.
In the meantime stream away!
best Peter

Hey,
The locus.creacast.com streams have been working now for the past couple weeks.
A lot of other people in chicago I asked to check were experiencing the same issue I was. But, it's not an issue as far as I can tell.
Unfortunately, I had no time to tinker with routing my connection through a VPN or proxy server.
I'm curious. Does anyone know what may have changed?
All the best, Eric

Hum,
This doesn't seem to be the case for me listening in France - there are occasional drops on some streams but it is certainly not systematic. Would this imply that there is some slowdown on the transatlantic connection (since the server is situated in France)? Is this happening all the time on all locus.creacast steams? Is anybody else experiencing this? If you are, we will ask the service provider about it.
Best Peter

Pardon me if this had already been answered, but I'll ask again. Does anyone know why the streams using locus.creacast.com play for only a few seconds, then stop for several seconds, play for a second, continuing so on and forth?
The other streams not using locus.creacast.com are fine.
