Radio Paradise

Traceroute looks good. And you're definitely being routed to our euro server.

If you can do a traceroute while it's lagging sometime, that might shed some light on what's going on.

Hi,

Can you clarify what you mean by "lagging"? Is it;
i. the stream is breaking up and stuttering
ii. the stream is out of sync

If ii. then on some players (like on my RPi) the music is cached and buffered say for 10 secs (configurable) prior to playing to protect against small WiFi anomalies and drop outs. So comparing 2 players the RPi is "lagging" behind other streams. (this is super handy for A/B testing, listen on one source then get the same on another source 10 secs later)

Thanks Jarro! Appreciate your support.

Please find below my current trace route to the given url:

2 15 ms 10 ms 10 ms xxxxx.t-ipconnect.de
3 23 ms 24 ms 24 ms xxxxx.t-ipconnect.de
4 28 ms 27 ms 27 ms 62.157.250.190
5 29 ms 26 ms 27 ms 109.236.95.177
6 27 ms 28 ms 27 ms 109.236.95.229
7 24 ms 23 ms 24 ms 93-190-141-46.hosted-by-worldstream.net <93.190.141.46>

I'm not sure whether this URL is used by the Bluesound device to stream the RP FLAC.

Not aware of any issues with our Europe servers. You should be getting directed to Rotterdam.

If you want to ping.
stream.radioparadise.com I can tell you if you're possibly getting routed somewhere else.

Dear all,

i noticed since some time (a few months) that the lossless Radio Paradise Stream via Bluesound is lagging after some time (all channels). I checked my internet connection (100/10 down/up) as well as the wifi connection to my Bluesound Node and Flex units but this seems to be not an local connection issue. I checked the AAC 320 stream URL (.uk) via TuneIn (over Bluesound) and this works flawlessly.

Anybody else who experience the same? I'm based in Germany and wonder if the Bluesound RP link is pointing to the UK or if there is just one FLAC stream url for global?

Thanks!

Kind regards

Robert

Just to clarify what you mean by âlaggingâ. Do you mean that youâre getting interruptions (buffering) or do you mean that the timing of the stream is different than on other devices (as in lagging behind).
