Notice that as of sometime today the RT streaming addon loops from several minutes of "Crosstalk" and then several minutes of the news broadcast. Then terminates. Restarting the addon repeats as above. Could well/probably is a streaming issue at the head end. The rt.com web streaming is working fine though. In any of the offered languages that are live.
cheers

There is nothing normal about it. It was deliberate and RT is aware of the actions of Akamai.net. For there to be a looped recording on a live stream, it's no accident.Now the stream is dead entirely. Watching the stream through the website still works perfect though. Expect more interruptions like this simply because of the nature of the news in the face of all the garbage we are fed through mainstream news like CBC.
Cogeco for example refuses to carry RT news which is why I cut the cord six years ago. I was tricked into getting Cogeco back then because they swore they carried Russia Today. When I made a fuss about it they said it would cost $6.00/month for that channel then they changed their mind and said the news station is not aligned with Cogeco's "Service Values"

Wow, I see the light now. You're right, there's no point in fixing the add-on.

Parcel, Thanks for the work but as a novice could you tell me just where to paste your revised code? Thanks!
