That would help eliminate the ISP so a good check. It worked for Colin I think.

Hi Dave
Just for reference Portsdown A27 shows a stream for me today? Portsdown 202006070 doesn't.
If it was an ISP issue, I would have expected both not to work.

I don't have a mobile phone connection I can try. My mobile is paid by work and hotspot is blocked.
Apart from Colin and Clive locally is anyone else having an issue?
Terry

Hi Terry

Very strange - my Portsdown 202006070 shows the KM stream perfectly at this time.

Doesn't sound like an ISP issue at your end. I'll do some more investigation.

Hi Dave,
I have got the same issue as Terry since i upgraded to the
latest version 202006070 of ports down, all i get now when i want to
view a stream is valid stream detected and the ports down logo.

The previous version 202004302 works fine no problem,thankfully i had a spare
SD card with the old version on it
If it is any help i am on Talk Talk .

Regards
Ian G6ZVE.

Thanks Ian
This was also the case for Clive G4FVP he had the stream on the previous version.
He Updated to check for me and lost it. Only valid stream detected and splash screen. (if you watch carefully you see stream dropped or similar message flash up quickly once)
Portsdown 4 (A27) is still working today.

Regards
Terry

Hi All

Thanks for tracking down this extra information about the problem. I'll have a look at what I might have broken during the update!

Dave, G8GKQ

I think that I may have tracked this one down, but need some help. Please could everyone with this problem:

1. Log in through ssh, go to the command prompt (Shutdown, Exit to Linux) and then enter the following command:

   Code: Select all

   aplay -l

   Then post the result here (highlight it in Putty - which copies it, and then paste it here).
2. Return to the touchscreen (you can type

   Code: Select all

   gui

   at the command prompt to do this) and then go to Menu 3 and report whether the Audio out button says "Audio out RPi jack" or "Audio out USB dongle".
3. Then touch the button to toggle it to the other setting, and try viewing a stream to see if this cures the problem.

Based on all number of reports back, I will try to modify the code so that it works for everybody every time! If you don't report back, it might not work for your particular case - so please do!

Dave, G8GKQ

Hi Dave
I just tried building a new card today from your github and the stream viewer is now working.
So my result may not be useful


Terry

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ aplay -1
aplay: invalid option -- '1'
Try `aplay --help' for more information.
pi@raspberrypi:~ $

The audio out was set to USB dongle,

Changed it to audio out RPI jack and now all my streams are working again.

Thank you Dave.

Ian G6ZVE.

Thanks Ian

Sorry, I should have made clear that it was aplay -l (Lima). Anyway, the fact that selecting the correct output cured it ties in with my theory.

I'll change things in the next update so that selecting the wrong audio output will still play the video.
