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

Thanks, do you have a link please?

If it helps the BBC streams at:

still seem to be working for me.

See above.

Thanks for the above links. How can one find out what bitrate these streams are, please?

When replying to a post, please try to avoid quoting large blocks of text from previous posts. This makes the forum very hard to read. This usually happens because you click the Reply button, which populates your reply with a quote of the entire previous message. This message might itself have quoted the message before it, leading to many levels of nested quoted posts that provides no useful information.

This simplest way to avoid doing this is to use the larger New Reply button when replying to a post instead of using the smaller Reply button. It's also good to use the Preview Post button to preview what you are about to post before you use the Post Reply button to post it.

There are occasions when you need to quote some text from a previous post to provide a context for what you are saying in your reply (for example, the quoting of post #84 in post #119). In these cases, use the Reply button and edit down the quoted text as appropriate.

I have pruned or removed redundant quoted text from the last few posts to this thread.

The GitHub posts referenced in the above link give details about how to specify the bitrate required.

Much better. Thanks.

Until this morning I was successfully using previous Github listed URLs, eg:
http://as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool...ewind.m3u8
Finding that's stopped working, like others I've found the BBC-Radio-lstn-HLS-.m3u streams (link in others' earlier posts) do work. Furthermore, as an overseas listener I discovered to my delight that changing the bitrate to .....=320000 they continue to work (with no need of a vpn). I checked that the bitrate is genuinely increased by playing them in VLC and observing the statistics.

If anybody has lost access to their BBC Radio streams since July 21st, I suggest you revisit the page referenced in #84 for details. There have been some very subtle changes to the BBC radio URLs in the last few days.

Very helpful post, thanks.

Since access was lost to the BBC DASH streams, this is the first time I have attempted to set up the HLS streams as above. They are not working for me, and so I wondered if access to these has also been lost... ?
