Title: repeating loop feed?
Post by: eclipse500 on October 22, 2007, 12:23:57 AM

Tonight I was listening to the KSNA feed and after an hour or so I was having serious deja vu as if I had heard everything before. After listening more closely and hearing the same controllers, planes and instructions again I confirmed by going to flightaware.com and indeed found out that the pilot I was listening to who just received landing clearance indeed landed at KSNA an hour before. Why is the feed repeating itself?

Definitely not normal.

are you sure it was still streaming?  i had a time on the last version of windows media when the streamed audio from kjfk would somehow store in a temporary location on my HD.  the stream was unstable (no doubt due to wmp), and would restart the temp file.

never had problem with updated media player, but sometimes a streaming feed on itunes will "end" and the next song in my library will start playing, so i'll have to double click the feed again.

if you're bored/curious, check the archives and see if it was the incoming feed or your software that looped
