[x] [2425] Internet Radio, Pause button behavior

[James4]

First, thank you very much for the latest 5.11.2425 release.

Can you please allow the old behavior where the Pause button stops the radio stream?
Maybe add an option in Internet Radio>General Settings?

Reasons:
The several seconds of buffer resets automatically and the program return to be live, so it is no different than stopping.
I use a small multimedia controller where I have a volume knob, next/previous and play/pause buttons, is was very convenient to stop the stream with the pause button.

Thank you again.

Player doesn't download the data if paused. So, no difference between pause or stop in this case. But if playback is paused you will able to resume the playback

[James4]

There is a difference between pause and stop, otherwise I would not waste your time.
There is a limited amount of seconds that is buffered somewhere (server?) and if the stream is paused for more than a that specific buffer time, the stream will drop and restart like it was stopped.

Please test by downloading AAC file (Soma.FM):
https://somafm.com/u80s/

Pause for 3 minutes, then un-pause and listen.
After a few seconds the stream will drop and restart form 'live' point.

Maybe Soma.FM cuts the buffer when they change songs?

So, is it main issue of this behavior?

[James4]

Yes, the radio stream drops after X amount of seconds, probably after the song ends, at least with Soma.FM radio streams.
I don't want or need to pause a live stream I just want to press 'play' on my multimedia controller and listen to live stream like it was.

I've re-upload the build, please try on it.

[James4]

Updated.


Now when I pause a radio stream then choose another radio stream AIMP becomes non-responsive (freezes) and I have to close it from task manager.
Also, I hear an audio click when unpausing a stream, so it does not completely stop?
Please go to Soma.FM and download a few AAC stream files to test.

All I want is the old behavior, but other people may want to pause.

It impossible, because player stops the stream now.

[Artem]

AIMP becomes non-responsive (freezes)

Ok, I will check it

[James4]

Attached video in 7z file, demonstrate both bugs.

[James4]

Updated to 5.11.2427.

Doesn't freeze anymore, good.
Still has click when unpausing. 

Another bug found, buffering text stuck even after stop, after several pause and unpause.
Attached video.

I don't understand why not just revert to old stream engine before 5.11.2425?

EDIT:
Also, when I start AIMP it automatically pre-buffers the stream then pauses it... why?

[Artem]

I don't understand why not just revert to old stream engine before 5.11.2425?

Because scheduler unable to resume radio playback

[Artem]

Also, when I start AIMP it automatically pre-buffers the stream then pauses it... why?

How to reproduce that?

[James4]

Because scheduler unable to resume radio playback

Okay, I understand.

How to reproduce that?

Never mind, I had "On app startup > Pause playback", that automatically starts and immediately pauses the stream even if it was stopped before closing AIMP.
I've put it on "Restore the state" now.
