Loving the latest build of this plugin. (using the unnofficial build)
Currently have my internet vid cache set to 4096KB which is ideal for my connection speed when viewing HIGH quality AMT trailers.
It's also fine for iPlayer video content. However, using the iPlayer radio.. I am forced to wait for 4096kb to stream in before it starts to play. XBMC seems to recognise the audio stream as a video stream? Is this because I am launching the stream from within "My Videos"?
I would have presumed xbmc would see the iPlayer radio (set as MP3) is an audio stream and just buffered 256kb of cache before playing.
Anyone know whats up? It dampens the experience somewhat having to wait 10seconds (roughly) before the radio kicks in. (I have a 10meg line by the way).
-by the way is there a reason the radio stations (listen live) take so long to kick in?

exactley what dink said.
i set my unknown internet cache to 256kb and then the radio streams buffer as quick as any other audio stream like shoutcast.

Nice idea, I already tried setting unknown cache to 256kb but for me, more often than not the mp3 radio streams on iplayer don't come under that category. And thus continue to cache 4MB before they start. If I set my internet vid cache to 2MB that helps, but it's still not really ideal.
