stream still only plays for a few seconds, then quits. Am I the only
one?

Plays OK in my few months old VLC3 nightly, there was a stutter a few
seconds in which made me think it was going to give the problem you
mentioned, but it didn't happen again when I closed and re-started VLC.

I've not fully checked the results yet. But I seem to have been able to use
ffmpeg to capture this year's 'First Night' flac stream OK. There were a
couple of 'TLS packet of unexpected length' warnings but I can't recall if
they mean a missing segment or not. IIRC they don't represent a real
problem, but I need to check.

Watching the 1st half live (sic) on BBC4 DVB-T2 last night I noticed a
short 'grey blank' period during the Beethoven. Hope that isn't in the R3
recording or the iplayer versions.

Only caught the encore of tonight's prom, listening on a different
machine. I was expecting a cheapo USB DAC to arrive last week to avoid
picking up "computer noise" either on the laptop's output jack, or the
docking station's output, but it didn't arrive, so connected THX 2.1
speakers to the audio output of the displayport monitor which worked
quite well, except the audio cuts off when the monitor power saver kicks in.

Watching the VLC stats, the FLAC stream seems to burst over 900kbps on
occasion (usually during applause).

Alas, the 'grey blank' for a few seconds appeared in the BBC4 TV iplayer
version I got this morning.
