Hello, I've been a solid user of the app for many years and rely a lot on playing cached blocks when I'm out and about
In recent weeks/months the facility refuses to work. I cleared the cache, nothing; uninstall and reinstalled the app, no change.
There are no error messages. The process appears to start and then just drops into "resume download" after a minute or so. I assumed that downloads run in the background, maybe not?
I tried contacting tech support a couple of times but no response
Has anyone else out there had trouble and if so managed to fix the problem?
My 'phone is a Samsung S20 running Android 13, patched up to March '24
Best,

Hi,
Our cache blocks are served from the US. It's likely just having trouble reaching our servers.
What you can try is. The auto cache fill feature in settings. It is more aggressive and will keep trying to download your cache blocks while the phone is charging.
Should be able to top things up while charging overnight.
Can find that in settings -> cache options -> cache autofill

Regardless of what gadget I am streaming from, when I have it on the "My favorites" stream, every 20 minutes or so, a song starts for only a few seconds or so then goes to another song, or a song shuts off in the middle somewhere and goes to the next one. Actually, those are the same issue, just a matter of time
.
Anyone else get this? Any known fix or workaround? Thanks RPeeps
I haven't heard this from other listeners. Are you streaming to a Bluetooth speaker/headphones? I have seen phantom commands coming from Bluetooth devices starting playback and skipping.

Yet, since homepages aren't really rocket-science, maybe it would be ok for anyone involved, even big Bill, if the 3d-player script would only be loaded on real need, i.e. on pages where the player is embedded, instead of loading it every time the RP homepage loads.
I keep having this issue with a hardened Firefox browser, which is my day-to-day browser. Today the RP homepage wouldn't load at all, and it stalled while loading a gstatic.com java-script. The scripts loaded vary in stalling my browser, and today the RP homepage wouldn't load at all in that browser. - Just tried Chromium to find it acts normal in comparison.

So, I'm gonna address this bloat issue, but I'm also gonna step in and act as moderator here first. I don't get to spend a lot of time in our forum, but this is the one topic I have to check for my job here at RP to try and address issues as you all find and report them. I don't have the time nor do I want to make time for insults being passed back and forth. So, take it somewhere else or better yet just don't do it in the forum at all.
As far as the Delight player script, that is a video player we use for the VR content that we were producing last year. I'm dealing with what to do with it now that it's been brought to my attention. We currently have a single blog post that is utilizing the player and we will discuss removing it to remove the issue. Give us some time to consider the issue.
As far as the feature that DID enrich the site, let's back off on the negative tone. We're a small company here providing a free service, so unecessary BS like that doesn't land well.
In your case, trust me, you don't want me to go on. I haven't even started talking to you, Beaker, since I answered one of your posts many months ago which you decided to ignore. What do fascist warmongers do in informatics? Think they have something to say? Or just project their usual smart-ass attitude to the sky?
I see interpersonal & comms skills are also some of your other strong suits. But do go on.

Oh, so you're the blind teaching me now. I get it. I studied computer science, sorry to say. The lag can't be due to proxies, nor name-servers or their cache-ing in between, trust me. It is strictly due to the assets woven into the newer RP website from all sorts of services distributed around the globe. Nuttin else, bro.
They who know call it by the name of BLOAT.
The specific line in the RP homepage source-code I was referring to is this one:
An either bloated JS script (among several ones) that "enrich this site" in the eyes of their creator but make it terribly slow to load oftentimes - or a completely unnecessary asset that is not being cached by servers but needs to be reloaded every hour.
And no, I am not:

There's no need to slag RP because you are seeing a slow loading speed. Learn how the Internet works, and what can cause your connection to a given site to be 'slow'.

While the homepage (or blog if you wish) keeps fabulating about "the power of connectivity", the RP homepage is as slow to load as it never was before since some 2 weeks now. Me surfing from Europe. What's going on there?
Never had this, before. Seems the bloat is taking over, while the browser is trying to load some 3D assets from some cloud-space (WTF?).
Sometimes it takes up to two minutes! Who's gonna wait for a website to come on this slowly?!
No good marketing, just saying. I'm on 50-k DSL with no speed lag on other websites, only RP "wonderland".
