Hi everyone.
I have an windows application multithread.
Inside general form I set :

Bass.BASS_Init(0, Nothing, Nothing, Me.Handle)

Then i create object array where any object start a thread
Any thread download internet streaming with this instruction

stream = Bass.BASS_StreamCreateURL(Url, 0, BASSFlag.BASS_MUSIC_DECODE, Nothing, Nothing)

occasionally a thread can go down, so in general form i can start another thread with same Url, but it don't go .
I get this error

BASSError.BASS_ERROR_FILEFORM

I repeat, this another thread is a new thread, old thread is dead

Instead if i start another same windows application and then i start a new thread with same url it go well

Why ?

Bass store something ?

Why are threads going "down" ?

Also I haven't seen the use of BASS_MUSIC_DECODE, usually  BASSFlag.BASS_STREAM_DECODE is used for your purposes.

Try to use the Flag I suggested and try to call BASS_StreamFree with the old Handle ("Dead Thread") as Parameter, maybe some ressources are still being used.

I try your suggest . I use flag BASSFlag.BASS_STREAM_DECODE  and inside thread, inside threar abort exception i use BASS_StreamFree .
Now i try and then i will say you

thank you

[kio2008]

Sorry, but your suggest don't go. The problem there is again
I destroy thread manually too, but it don't go
It's strange.

Ok, could you upload a sample Visual Studio Project with your function to let us reproduce the Problem ?

[kio2008]

Ok, I attach file code to this reply

After creating a VS 2010 Project, copying over your Form-Code, adding missing References (Bass.NET) and needed DLLs (bass.dll,bassenc.dll,basswma.dll) and lame.exe + lame_enc.dll I was able to run your project.

It recorded 20 Seconds of all Radio Stations and stopped after it, I did not see any Threads going down like you described.

Something I remember is when I listen to online radio Stations for some hours using VLC Media Player, my connection drops sometimes and I am forced the restart the playback in VLC to get it working again, I guess that is what is making troubles.

[kio2008]

Yes, when I record to online radio Stations for some hours, some connection go down and my program automatically try to restart connection but i get this error
sometime

BASSError.BASS_ERROR_FILEFORM

and sometime this  BASSError.BASS_ERROR_UNKNOWN

Sometime it restart well, but i note that if i start a second instance program it record well while in first instance program it go down .
How can i improve this problem ?

I think that Bass store something

I tested it again, if the Connection is down, it tries to restart Downloading as fast as possible, that means it runs at 100% CPU Usage trying to restart. You should fix this, its not a good behaviour to retry in fullspeed, its just a waste of CPU.

I could not reproduce your Problem, I removed your 20 Seconds Limit by making the following changes (commenting out the l.stop):

If cLength >= length Then
If l.IsActive Then
'l.Stop()
End If

After that I let it record for some minutes, disconnected my Internet then I got 100% CPU until I reconnected it,then it just started recording again without any Problems !

I want say you this note :
If i load 20 internet radio, when i start from 1 to 20, on radio 18 i get "Server timeout", while if i stop all and i start only radio 18 it go well.
Also, when i stop all and i run "netstat -n" i see again some connection in this state time_wait.

Ok, can you post a Version with your 20 Stations so I can try this out ?
