Slacker Radio "Media not supported"

**jhimmel** · 10-01-2011, 03:21 PM

Was trying Slacker today, and every so often was pausing with the above mentioned error, until I hit an "Okay" button to continue. What's that about? Can not use the product if that is going to continue.

I have been using SlackerRadio since I bought my BlackBerry Bold 9700 a few years ago and it plays well on my BlackBerry Bold 9780 and BlackBerry PlayBook without any issues. Were you streaming via WiFi, bridge-mode, or tethering at the time of the "media not supported" message?

WiFi. Guess I'll try again another time and see if the problem persists.

Have you subscribed to the Slacker Radio service or using the free version? I pay CAD4.99 per month to my wireless carrier for Slacker Radio and have downloaded the application on my BlackBerry Bold 9700 & 9780 and my BlackBerry PlayBook.

You might have simply encountered a streaming issue though in the 3 years of using Slacker Radio it has happened to me a handful of times that streaming is disrupted. Also, try switching to bridged-mode or tethered-mode to determine if the message appears whenever you get the message when using WiFi; be sure to disable WiFi when switching to bridged-mode or tethered-mode.
