These are lossless audio streams which are enhancement on mp3 streams of even 320 mp3. however I keep experiencing audio cut outs after a few minutes and audio skips and jumps.

I need to have a setting in vlc player for this codec to overcome this,my broadband connection has been checked to be working properly.

My download speed 37.7 meg although drops to 36 meg when this stream is on and my upload speed is 8 meg.

If someone can advise settings and maybe also run one of these streams to test?

[Lotesdelere]

I'm playing the first stream for about 10 minutes now with VLC 3.0.3 and I got no problem at all. Before that the third one, Magic, also played without any troubles.

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback, and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Should I change cache from 1000 to 3000?

Well, the audio was stuttering for me. Then, I realized my VLC was playing at 1.07 speed on these feeds. So, changed the speed to the normally default 1.00 and the audio on all three feeds is playing with no problem. The speed setting can be viewed below and slightly to the left of the mute icon.

VLC 3.03 on Win 8.1 X64. Feeds end with a .uk, playing fine in the USA, on IPv4. DNS isn't giving me an IPv6 conduit to check.

No VLC experts to overcome shoddy performance on these streams for me?

Well, it's hard to help you with something we are not able to reproduce.
Anyway, try another audio output module:

And check your computer latency:
