I don't think there is much more that I can do to help with this. For some reason, the TEAC seems to be unable to play UPnP streams (in any format) that don't have a defined length. Ths is unusual as most UPnP streamers can do this.

Hi Simon. Thanks for your help with this. Seems like it can’t be resolved with my current set up. I have a few more radical options:

1) I could add a second, cheap and cheerful, streamer to my existing set up and control it separately. For example, I have SONOS in other rooms and could re-purpose that. This would not require MinimStreamer because BBC stations are still available via Tune-In on this platform in UK (for now).

2) I could swap my Teac NT-505 streamer for one that is known to work with MinimStreamer. I like the Teac/LUMIN controller combo very much, so could only contemplate this if I also achieved some worthwhile improvements in sound quality. For example, the Teac decodes Tidal MQA, which many ‘high end’ streamers seem not to. MQA versions of same tracks in CD quality sound clearly better to me, so I can’t lose that.

Do you or other Forum members have any suggestions for either of the above, or another idea that means I can get radio streams on my hifi?

Many thanks
