stream starts over after pause

[nyc-x]

Greetings, O tech-savvy ones. I've searched the forums on this issue but couldn't find the answer -- so I hope it's not something painfully obvious.

Whenever I stop a shoutcast stream, then restart it later, it picks up again at the same place I originally started it. In other words, if I stop the stream or change stations, then go back to the original station, I hear the same content all over again that I heard before, starting from the time I first tuned in. This happens even if I tune in hours later, but I do get the new stream by the next day. I also tried tuning in to the same station via different links, fx. groove salad on shoutcast.com, somafm.com, and my bookmark. Doesn't make a difference, it always starts where I first heard it that day.

I'm using 5.04 on a new XP machine. I am behind a firewall but haven't had any other trouble from that after the initial config.

Thanks in advance.

this isn't a shoutcast issue but a winamp issue.
could some mod move it to winamp.tech support forum?

Give it a few seconds to clear the cached data, once it does that the normal stream will resume from the server. I have this happen alot myself.

Thanks for the response... I tried waiting some time and restarting, both while streaming and with winamp closed, but it keeps going back to the same beginning point. It seems like it's insisting on accessing a buffer created somewhere as I'm playing it the first time that day. is that possible? Is there no way to manually flush this buffer or something?

Also, sorry for posting this in the wrong forum. I tried deleting the post after the first response, but the forum claims I don't have access to do this. If a mod could move it I'd appreciate it.

Did anyone ever figure this out?
