Streaming audio plug-in freezes my entire iPhone

The streaming audio plug-in freezes my entire iPhone after it loads. Audio streams but doesn't play. It works fine in the Xcode iPhone simulator but once deployed to device and you attempt to play audio it freezes the entire iPhone. Any fix?

Are you referring to the new Streaming Audio Plugin or Buzztouch's .Streaming audio using Launch a Native App ?

I'm referring to the one that is in Buzztouch's drop down menu. Content >Streaming Audio. I'm new to BuzzTouch so I don't know if its the Streaming Audio Plugin or Buzztouch's . Streaming audio using Launch a native app. I don't think its the one that launch's a Native app.

I'm not sure if a "fix" is needed, since it seems to work for a lot of people flawlessly (myself included). Maybe try killing everything on your test device (force closing all apps from the multitask bar) and doing another clean and build. There might be some other app loaded on your phone that isn't releasing audio control to your app?

It streams but when it gets to %100 percent it freezes the whole iPhone.

Fyi, you're using Buzztouch's streaming audio screen. As noted above, many have used that screen without a problem. Try a different URL, that's probably where the problem is coming from. Fred

Did you try what I listed above? The fact that it works for the simulator but not your phone is what stands out to me.

Stobe and Fred, I did a test and noticed that when I stream a 6mb audio file it works but when I stream a 40mb audio file it freezes my iPhone when it gets to 100%. Any solution? Thank you both for helping me to resolve this issue.

are they both the same format (mp3, etc) and same bitrate (128k, 192k, etc)?

Hi @mgd, where are you streaming the files from? Your own server? Dropbox?

I found when streaming (particularly mp4) from x10hosting and Dropbox that files would behave like yours...when I stream the same files from hostbaby they work fine...maybe something similar going on?

If it were me, I'd prefer a 40mb file be streamed from the build, not from the web. 3 and 4 mb is usually fine, but when you get over 10mb, you're dealing with a lot of variables of service. Why do you think Apple puts a cap on the size of app they are willing to deliver over cellular? My 2 cents

Yeah, if Apple knew the size of the streaming file they probably wouldn't approve it without some sort of declaration of needing a Wifi connection Can this 40mb file be compressed more and still sound good? The frequency response on mobile devices speaker is limited so u could compress it more and see if it helps

Why is it that within iTunes on my iPhone I can stream and listen to a 40mb/ 128 bit rate podcast without downloading. I have also downloaded Elevation Church's app and they allow you listen to a streamed message or option to download? And when I download and check the bit rate its 128. Whether I download or listen they are both the same quality. Thoughts?
