Infinite Seeking
I was able to get this mod working before, but now it decides to do infinite "Seeking". I'm able to bypass it if there is an interface by sliding the bar across but normal speakers make it unusable. Apparently other people can hear it but I can't, which makes it worse because I can't see how loud the music is or the range. Any help on this?

Thanks for reporting. This error of the radio seeking indefinitely is known, but also treated. The changes I made are confirmed to effectively fixing the problem for quite a while now. Can you give me information asked below, so we can troubleshoot the problem a little better?

- Game version
- Version of the radio addon
- Does the server or use use a customized and/or reuploaded version of the radio?
- Server tickrate
- URL/File you try to play
- Specs (Upload and download speeds) of your internet connection
- Does it also happen in single player or on local multiplayer (listen server)?
- Does it happen on other servers aswell?

> This version, I usually stick to the main addon.
> No idea what that is.
> I usually use Youtube to MP3 converters to get the music. (Like ytmp3 or youtube-to-mp3) and I don't have the link saved.
> My internet is usually 20 - 40MBs, I get decent ping depending on the server.
> Happens in Singleplayer aswell, Multiplayer too, that's how I found it out.
> Same as above, it's with the addon itself.

Please retry with a direct file (No Converters, No Youtube) sources. Is it broken there aswell?
Your problem does not seem to be caused by the server, so we can narrow down to the client questions. The versions (game and addon) seems to be fine. Your internet is fine too.

Using converers on the radio is unreliable. The radio has an auto converting service (just paste the Youtube URL in) via an online API that works a little bit better, but that is also still unreliable. I do not give any user support for any youtube related issues for that reason. For info about this is in the link above.

Hm...
What's the best reliable way to play links? I'll see if I could verify cache, mabye that could help.

Dropbox support was improved with the latest update some weeks ago. So give it a shot and see if it works for you.

Closed as solved.
