I was listening to the program this week and then it suddenly stopped after a few minutes. This also happened to me two weeks ago. I have no idea why this happens but I did find a solution for myself at least that may also work for others. I just refresh the entire page and start over. I then let the entire bar darken which takes a minute or so. Once the bar darkens, you can also pick any part of the video that you wish to listen to.

I hope this helps, G-d willing.

Hi Chaim,

I had this same problem and that's exactly what I did and it did help perfectly. Thank you Chaim

Post by: muman613 on August 23, 2012, 01:12:53 AM: It helps nobody but I had no problem downloading the show from my browser and playing it with my movie-player {totem in linux}.

I right-click on the link and select save as...

Others have said it doesn't work for them. I cannot explain why some may have this problem and others don't. I do know that if I try to play it from the web server {by clicking the link} the playback starts and then stops shortly after that. Usually this indicates that the player does not handle the situation when the buffers are exhausted in a friendly manner. HTTP protocol {which all web servers use} was not originally meant to stream video or audio. For this kind of serving of files a FTP server is more ideal.
