Expired site certificate messing up player in Safari

Is anyone else having problems playing through the new site in Safari?

Thanks for the app, it works really well and my kid loves the images, we can often discuss what we're seeing and hearing! So these are just suggestions to make "great" into "awesomelygreat"

Just a quick note on Things That Would Be Nice (tm) ;) - mostly in Android TV mode.

Easy(ish) things: 
1/ Play Mellow Mix on startup
- either allow me to select a default stream, or just play the last one I selected even after restart.
2/ Have "play/pause" buttons work properly. With a remote I'm sending 'play/pause' to Android TV but the app sometimes-but-not-always actually respects the button
3/ Have an 'overscan' feature. My (stupid) TV defaults to overscan, and lots of text and songtitles get clipped off unless I dig into my TVs menus. If you move the text a bit more inward it will work 
4/ Option to *not* stop playback when video inputs change. When I turn off my TV (I only want music, so the amplifier is still on), RP stops playback. And (see #2) - getting RP to continue without seeing the screen is hard. 

Hard(er) things:
1/ Show more song info (from the RP main webpages) if I hit the 'info' button. Lyrics!
2/ Show playback status on another device (my mobile phone, or can I dream, my Google Home Hub)

Bill! I changed the quality to medium and it's working great. Been playing for hours - thank you!

We're looking into a possible cause of this issue. In the meantime, try selecting a lower bitrate (via the gear icon on the player). 

Sorry I sent an email before I realized this forum existed. 
For the past couple of days, when I visit the station it takes over a minute for the music to start when it is regularly instant. Additionally, whenever Bill or Rebecca come on to give an announcement
(thanks for listening, etc), the music stops for a couple of minutes after the announcement, everything just goes silent. I thought maybe it was firefox so I installed chrome but I am having the same issue with that browser. Decided to try other stations to check issue and they start playing as soon as I click on their sites and there aren't any interruptions. I listen thru firefox directly on the RP website. Thanks.

Sounds like your network can't quite keep up with FLAC streaming. Try a lower bitrate. Should be fine. There's actually almost no sound quality loss with the 'Ultra' (320kbps) bitrate. Even 'High' (128k) sounds quite decent.

What app or player? If it's one of our apps, it might need to be deleted and reinstalled. 

anybody noticing the music playing for a minute the cutting to the station promo? its doing it with every song!

Try disabling & re-enabling again. That really should fix the repeated-songs issue. You might try rebooting your Echo also. 

The TuneIn problem is at their end. Allegedly they're working on it.

Hello
RP is a blessing for times like now.
I'm experiencing random disconnection, could be 10 mn, or 4 hours after pressing play. 
Using Android on RP Main Mix, up to date, Wifi, steady.
Does not happen on my PC windows 10
Tried cache, not cache, 320K, Flac. All the same
It allways stops at the end of a song, resuming is only pressing the play button
Annoying

Are you using an Alexa-enabled Sonos player? If so, add our new music service to your Sonos controller. 

I listen to RP through Alexa app. Recently, when listening via Tune In, the stream will intermittently cut out for a few seconds before resuming. This seems to happen with no discernable pattern, usually while a song is playing. On a few occasions, the stream cuts out altogether but will resume on asking Alexa to Play RP on tune in.

I have switched to the RP skill, which seems to stream fine, but the problem with repeating blocks of music is still there, even after disabling and re enabling RP.

I'd suggest deleting the app & reinstalling it from the Play Store. Sounds like something got corrupted.

Click 'newest' at the top of the comments column.

I would like to have comments sorted by newest by default, i've noticed it comes up by ratings.

is there a way to change that ? could there be if not ?
