that's exactly the problem, it seems without the 720p codecs, all is fine. looking through the source code the 'connection error' is misleading, and appears if it's unable to play 3 songs in a row.

......snip.....
if (!audio_started) http_req_success = FALSE;
......snip.............
static int failed_tracks = 0;
if (http_req_success) {
failed_tracks = 0;
controller_skip_track ();
} else if (++failed_tracks == 3) {
failed_tracks = 0;
controller_stop_playing ();
controller_show_warning ("Connection error");
} else {
controller_skip_track ();
}
return FALSE;
