Bug Report - Flash Player Issue on DMPulse.com

I've heard from several listeners that the flash player on DMPulse.com is disconnecting from the stream, playing the Launch Spot and reconnecting around the 5 minute mark of listening. So, every five minutes you'd hear "3...2...1! Fire! Welcome to etc."

I reset the server, and removed the launch ad. So, that solves the issue of hearing that Launch Spot every 5 minutes! (It is supposed to only air once at launch!) It still appears that the player is disconnecting and reconnecting every 5 minutes, but you may not notice because there's no "Launch Spot" now. Something's up with the Flash player, so we'll get it fixed. In the meantime, it may not even be noticable that the stream is being disconnected.

If you are still having trouble, trying listening through the DMPulse page on TuneIn.com:
http://tunein.com/radio/DMPulse-s141000/

We'll surely have a few bugs to work out along the way! Thanks for being patient!
