Build a small test
- Pick the same station's live stream and one replay in the same quality range.
- Record the start time and whether the problem happens immediately or after a few minutes.
- Where the player offers a live delay control, increase the delay once and repeat the live test.
- Check a second station to see whether the issue follows one live feed or the live feature generally.
What the result changes
More delay helping only the live stream supports a timing or buffer hypothesis. When another station works at the same hour and quality, the first feed is a better support lead than a general broadband upgrade. For both streams failing after a fixed time, look at session, device or network factors before assuming a live-only fault.
