[squid-users] Streaming video content (e.g. BBC news to flash based player) - always stops?

Hi,

We've tried running a number of Squid versions (from 2.7.9 through to
3.2.0.9) but they all seem to suffer when streaming video content - most
notably from the BBC site in the UK.

Unfortunately, afaik this content isn't available outside the UK (but the
US site might have content streamed in a similar manner).

Videos will start, but they stop after a random amount of time (and the
'player' on the client displays the 'rebuffering circle' - but never starts
again).

Is anyone here using Squid - and able to successfully play content from say
news.bbc.co.uk?

Anyone got any pointers what it could be?

Accesses in the logs show as a stream of:

"
1310125310.161 561 172.16.20.22 TCP_MISS/200 272 POST
http://82.197.67.173:1935/idle/mKfmdz02zSLeGJSL/269 -
HIER_DIRECT/82.197.67.173 application/x-fcs
1310125311.256 565 172.16.20.22 TCP_MISS/200 272 POST

HIER_DIRECT/82.197.67.173 application/x-fcs
"

These seem to continue, even when the player has 'stopped'.

Any pointers?

Thanks,
