You can also just close out your browser, then bring it back on and try to connect again - the object being to force a new connection instead of a cached (failed) connection.

Stream is back online for me.

Working on everything.

Ditto. Tunein just kicked in.

PathoJen · July 19, 2015, 09:30:43 PM

I GOT IT. on Tunein on my iPhone. I'm seriously thinking it's a clogging issue...too much traffic. Because I let it continue to buffer for like 15 minutes, no restart, and eventually I got in. Hope it lasts.

I have a grace radio and listening to dark matter right now. It's working fine. At least for me...everyone come on over...

If there is the same problem tomorrow. Just keep in mind for a last resort... Go to artbell.com and find all the radio stations that will play the actual show, pick a radio station anywhere in the country then listen to that radio station on I heart radio. Just till everything runs smooth. Can't miss the show!!! But that won't work for tonight's test show.

That might not work, Art has a restriction on stations re-streaming his show.

Sirius streaming issues all over again except now it's Art and Keith's problem. But I am still having no issues and I would guess most people aren't. Streaming such as this is bound to have intermittent issues on so many levels.

No reason to hit the panic button.

This started working.

TuneIn app for Android is working like a charm. Any reports from iOS users?

werfold · July 19, 2015, 09:32:26 PM

This really does not surprise me, start small and go from there? I don't think so Art.

I am seeing almost 34,000 listeners following, this could be a problem.

There are actual stations that have agreed with art about the restrictions. And he does list quite a few stations. Think it's pretty cool they agreed..

http://live.darkmatterdigitalnetwork.com/darkmatter.mp3 is still streaming, try clearing your cache between retries. Once you connect you might be good to go.

Excellent tips, triola. Those are always some of the things I try that often work. And rebooting completely is good too.

Most excellent tip! But alas you're correct that it won't work for tonight.

ETA: Actually I think the restreaming is indeed an issue tho.

If you keep trying over and over eventually you connect, but it used to happen within a few seconds before this weekend.
Acts like the stream servers are getting hit by an overload/attack!

Kind of like what I started experiencing last night: I just couldn't connect using the DMDN pop-up player for a few minutes. It took several tries, but eventually it did start the stream. Same thing tonight (a few minutes ago), so I clicked on the tune-in link, and it took a while to connect, but I'm now in and listening to the last few minutes of Paranormal Central.

Too many users trying to connect...?
Hmmm...
