bbc iplayer cannot stream for longer than 1 hour in ubuntu but can stream in Windows

[sara]

I dont know what you need so have probbably given too much.
the laptop is an asus K53U http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Versatile_Performance/K53U/ It duel boots windows and ubuntu - windows is on a 49gb partition ubuntu has 100gb and there is a windows rescue partition of an unknown size.
both partitions are swedish.

i have tried to stream BBC RADIO 4 in rhythmbox with all but the essental plugins disabled, and vlc media player as well as chrome and firefox - running without plugins. I have tried in a fresh virtual box install and have the same issues each time my conclusion is that it must be ip tables as my bandwidth is at a speed of 50 gb per second - sweden. I tried streaming from a cafe, on a train, and in a different country, I have the same issue therefore its a bug with ubuntu. the error message states "insufficient bandwidth" - i have the same issues streaming radio sverige p3 and other stations yet it streams video ok most of the time, most of the video i watch online is less than an hour long.

hope you have what you need.

Thank you for using Ubuntu and reporting a bug. I appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this is not a bug in iptables. iptables is a tool for manipulating netfilter in the kernel and it cannot by itself limit bandwidth. If there are iptables rules affecting the machine, it would be because of firewall (ie netfilter) rules added either by you or a tool, but this seems unlikely. The bug lacks detail to reassign to another package and therefore I am closing. If you feel this is in error, please file a new bug against a specific package, however I suggest if you are still experiencing the problem, you explore support options:
