Good afternoon Jason and PlayIt Live Forum Group. Great news!!! On a hunch, I restarted the VPS. After allowing it to finish, I opened PlayIt Live and started the station and then restarted the stream. From roughly 324PM to 405PM, I monitored the Live365 stream. No interruptions! Thank you JESUS!!! Looks like the VPS just needed to be rebooted a second time. Not sure if that was the cause for the streaming issue. Hope this helps with anyone else who encountered this problem. It's a simple fix. This is a big relief to know that the VPS, PlayIt Live and Live365 are stable again. Have a Blessed Weekend, Dan
As a general observation, PlayIt Live works well on dedicated hardware that is suitably powerful.
With a Virtual Private Server you will get a propotion of a very powerful machine and quite possibly the "clean up" processes were leaving insufficient resource to allow PlayIt Live to run well.
For reliability, I think I would have two machines and do a change over (at a suitable time - probably "out of hours") when doing updates so that the machine having the update gets a good time to sort itself out before needing to run PlayIt Live "live".

Good afternoon Jason and PlayIt Live Forum Group. Yesterday, 23May25, I installed Windows updates on our Virtual Private Server. After the updates were installed, I stopped the PlayIt Live stream and stopped the station. Then I restarted the VPS. Once I was able to reconnect to the VPS, I got PlayIt Live running again and started streaming. I monitored our LIve365 stream to make sure everything was ok. As a backup, I have Live365 scheduled with its own programming. As I was monitoring the stream, I noticed that a Live365 track was interrupting the PlayIt Live stream for about 10 seconds and then the PlayIt Live stream would resume. I thought maybe it might be a few minutes for the system to work out the problem. That few minutes turned into a few hours. Attached are two samples I airchecked and sent to Live365 to determine what the cause would be. Also attached is a screenshot of the now playing option. Does anyone know if it's possible to export the processing log? Right now, I'm using the Live365 backup mode until I can determine how to fix this problem. Has anyone else encountered this issue? All I did was a routine Windows Update. I'm also working with the Virtual Private Server Provider to see if it may be a VPS issue. I'll keep you updated on my progress and let you know what the outcome will be for future occurrances of this nature. Thanks. Have a Blessed Day, Dan
