Believe it or not, there are certain fuckwits out there who go out of their way to troll and annoy faithful ER listeners during big events as well as day to day. The limit was reduced during the event period to make it harder for said fuckwits to troll us.

It'll go back to normal tomorrow and when we move to the new website we should have a nice secure method of allowing people to request songs which will help us identify and PUNISH WITH IMPUNITY the fuckwits.

We're currently in the process of looking at alternative streaming methods that mobile device users can take advantage of for both audio and video. The problems we face are using a suitable html5 solution for our player that will support both audio and video streaming as well as a streaming protocol that will be cross compatible.

Currently we can stream audio and video through rtmp but only through flash based media players which won't work on iOS devices. While we can stream to html5 players that will work with most sensible browsers and mobile devices, rtmp does not work with html5.

So, we are needing to find a suitable protocol we can stream from our wowza media server to either or both flash based and html5 based players that doesn't utilise rtmp.

If we can manage this then we should be able to create a single player that can manage audio/video direct from the website and also available to all manner of mobile devices without any further mucking around as a compliment to our existing website based players.

Problem is we're not that great with the video streaming side of things as we are with audio. What we need is to stream to our media server using rtmp (in the case of video) and have it streamed from the server to our player in a different, compatible format (http streaming as an example) to our html5 player.

If there happens to be any experts on streaming media that may be able to offer us some ideas we'd appreciate it.

Thanks for bringing it up and we'll post an update shortly.

If you have an issue with the content of a particular show then you should raise a support ticket to bring it to our attention. If as you suggest a DJ was making OTT comments that you found offensive you need to supply us with the relevant details so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Suitably impressed with where it's heading. Very close to what I had hoped it would be so very, very excited by what this means not just for me as an enthusiast but also as a director of GRN.
