Issues with streaming? - Click HERE to go to the original thread with graphics
horhay_achoa
Is anyone having issues with streaming online? Mine sounds like a "skipping" CD. It cuts out and jumps back back in really quickly. It was doing it yesterday too, but I thought it would be fixed by now. Anyone else having the same issue?

I've been having the same problem with the streaming audio. It keeps skipping. I really only use the stream when I'm working and I just thought it was my computer here at the office. The Sirius FAQ says the problem can be caused by a slow internet connection or, more likely, internet traffic. I do not have the problem with the music channels I listen to.
horhay_achoa
yeah. the music channels work fine. since I got back from lunch the H100 stream has been fine too....

I had the same issue last night listening to Ferrall

Same issue here. Although yesterday afternoon it was much better. It does not happen on the music channels though.

I haven't been able to logon for a couple of days now. I called Sirius and some dumbshit-sounding guy said the website is down and to wait 24 hours (which is now).

Anyone else having this problem?
DiscipleOfStern
Hey rocky, website hasn't been down at all, though the skipping issue is a problem.

See you in the BP ;)
rpinata
LOL...Spambo?
DiscipleOfStern
I been everywhere man, I been everywhere.
rpinata
Thanks for the motivation, Disciple. I logged on to my account for billing, changed my password, then went and logged on to the streaming with no problem.

Why that dumbfuck told me the site was down is bullshit.
DiscipleOfStern
skipping issue are pretty bad this morning, might have to bust out the receiver.
mdram

DiscipleOfStern

Sirius_Sam22

Mines been skipping like a bad CD for quite a while now.

Annoying as fuck.
spcronin
Yup, I am sitting on hold with SIRIUS due to this issue. It's been doing it two weeks straight and I'm fed up.
Mosedogg

And still have the issue with the Yahoo widget. It was better yesterday, but this morning has been terrible.

I sent Sirius an email and they said they were forwarding to their web team. I suggest you do the same. It can't hurt.
DiscipleOfStern
well it does still say "beta"

heh.

Online absolutely sucked today. Better than nothing I guess.

My stream is skipping a lot today, normally skips are ever once in a while. Today, it seems like there have been 30 or 40. Two skips while I typed this out.

How do you tell if this is on my end or theirs?

PS F Ralph :D
MLWing
On accident I just started another thread on this subject. The skips have been annoying lately. I don't understand why it only happens on 100/101 though. I'll mail Sirius as well.
tr808roland
heard of issues esp when moving from page to page

Mine has been 100% perfect until last week and then the skipping started, I live in an area where my reciever drops out at least 10 minutes every hour so I depend on the stream to hear the show uninterupted, if Sirius would only get more repeaters in my area I wouldn't give a shit about the skips on the stream, the skips are worse today then before, I'm listening to Super Fan Roundtable right now and the skips are so bad I'm almost ready to just shut the damn thing down, I hope this isn't going to become a regular glitch with the stream :(
Sirius_Sam22
I had some skipping issues on the web page but fixed it...I think. I set my Windows Media Player buffer for over 30 seconds and restarted the show and all fine after 2-3 minutes of playing.

It seems there is a new Widget plug for Yahoo and some guy created some SQL/.Net program to stream for the time being.

Everyone needs to read Thread/page 31 and current at Sirius Backstage-

What happens to me only on H100, 101 is that I get a "closed" message after about 10-15 minutes of listening. Doesn't happen with the music channels. Anyone know the cause of this??
matt2kool

OMG I have been having problems for weeks now, it's so annoying to listen to. Constantly hic-cupping and skipping, so very annoying, thanks.
Gadmus126
I'm having lots of problems today it is so annoying. I hope they fix this soon.
horhay_achoa
It is really bad today. WTF!
Gadmus126
It's still bad for me
QueenBee
Never had this problem before today.
chernandez
IT CAN GET REALLY FRUSTRATING WHEN IT GOES IN AND OUT, BUT ITS NOT THAT IMPORTANT WHEN THE SHOW IS A REPLAY.
fatboy
I had great luck with streaming up until this afternoon... dead in the water, I get a Windows Media Player error when I try it... hmm...

:mad:
Phuckface
I get 12 seconds of SourShoes then nothing at all.......
boombox
Make sure you let Sirius know so they'll fix it. The more people write them, the quicker it will get fixed.
Phuckface
Everthing is working now...Not that anyone cares about my issues... :p
tonyrao
I think its bullshit that sirius uses WMP to stream the feeds of their programming. Why not choose a cross platform method instead of a OS locked one. Pretty gay that I can download the show everyday illegally even though I pay for 4 accts. Stop blowing MS and go with a differnt method of streaming that can give you the security you need like real player even though anyone can get the mp3s.

How Gay

This is still no better.

I encourage everyone who has this problem to send feedback to Sirius.

You can send feedback via this form: http://www.sirius.com/servlet/Conte...d=1112908249913

I have complained twice and I will keep doing so until it is fixed.
telcoman
My Widget doesn't work either. It scrolls the title and artist on Sirius Gold Channel 5 but says an unknown error has occurred. Try reloading the Widget. I tried that and it still doesn't work
Can anyone assist?
themormons
Is anyone beside me having major problems with the NEW Howard Stern Media player?? When I log in, the show skips around like a broken record and gets completely cut off at times. I think I'm going to stick to the Player on the Sirius website, which I've never had problems with.
vtjman
themormons: Are you listening to Howard100 or Howard101? The reason I ask is I have noticed that when I listen to Howard101 I have the skipping issue still, but pretty much ever since the new king of all media player was released, Howard100 has been pretty skip free for me, with the new player, AND with the Yahoo! widget.
hhkr
I can't even get the howard stern media player to connect, it says its timing out. I see the firewall request being granted but nothing comes back. Is there any FAQ or help on this new media player. First I couldn't download it and it took them a day to get me a direct link and not it doesn't work. The Sirius player works for me.
