Not exactly, they've added or enabled authorisation protocols so that they can only be streamed via 'authorised' partners, and unfortunately have not as yet agreed to authorise Minimserver as a partner. I'd recommend reading through this thread for information that might provide further enlightenment, though.

Thanks, I did read the stream; I'm afraid my post was imprecise in it's wording!

no need to thank me then, 12 pages of anguish, I come up with a solution and that is all I get. Great.... good luck,

I am sorry that you were offended by my response to your post. I have sent you a PM about this.

Simon,

Apologies if I've missed any notices posted elsewhere, but I can't see any. I was wondering if there had been any movement on discussions with the BBC as to becoming an 'approved' stream provider (or whatever grand term they use). Is there anything to report?

Thanks.

There have not been any new developments regarding this. MinimStreamer can play any stream for which there is a working URL (BBC or otherwise). Some users have been able to find working URLs for the BBC streams. This is not ideal but it is better than not being able to play the BBC streams at all.

If it helps the BBC streams at:

still seem to be working for me.

Has the BBC had another cull of these streams?
I've woken up this morning to find my 6 music stream not working on minimstreamer or Vlc anyone else experiencing this?

Yes.
The lstn.lv URLs seem to be more reliable to me.
