Online reboot glitch?

[Merlinsky]

Hey Steve, I hope you won't mind me explaining an issue I've been having, it takes a second to give an example. I don't know how many people here have to do what I do about 4 days out of the week where I miss the first hour and a half and wait for the reboot to get the rest of the show, but sometimes it goes smoothly and other times not so much.

Today was sort of a spectacular implosion in the first 20 minutes though. No fewer than 5 times I hear your bugle call and the announcement of At the Races w/Steve Byk,etc then about 3 of them went a few minutes each, at different points restarting Hour 1 from the beginning, then 4 minutes into the 3rd one it reboots again with Hour 2 (where I got the impression Steve D. had asked an inflammatory question that lit up the phone lines but didn't get a chance to find out what was up), then another reboot back to Hour 1. When it does that too often I end up shutting it off and waiting for the online archive which I think ends up being fine. I just hate getting interested in what you're saying only to have it start all over again out of the blue.

Sometimes I'll listen to a live show and your intro will start to kick in then abruptly cut out but that's unusual. I figured it was some internet glitch, some weird loop, but I just wondered if it was fixable. I kept the show going while I wrote this and it stopped doing it, right now you're going into the break after mentioning Azeri. Hopefully it's through jumping around.

Merl,

I'll send the above to KC... Sorry, but thanks for the description.

I listen to the archives 95% of the time... rarely the stream... but I think I know what you mean. K thinks we may need a new program to run the stream as the one that handles it now isn't 100% for that task.

I'll see what he thinks of what you're experiencing.
