Hi all:

Buenos días.

We are using this module to connect to SeedLink for real-time waveform data: [http://docs.obspy.org/master/\_modules/obspy/seedlink/client/seedlinkconnection.html](http://docs.obspy.org/master/_modules/obspy/seedlink/client/seedlinkconnection.html)

We know from using “slinktool -Q IP:Port” that the station we would like to request is present in the seedlink buffer but obspy returns this error:

ERROR - bad packet: “blockette not 1000 (Data Only SEED Blockette) or other error reading miniseed data: ‘failed to decode mini-seed record: msr\_parse errcode: -2’”

Thank you for any suggestions on how to best troubleshoot this issue.

Kind Regards from Panama,

**Branden Christensen**
