I just reformated my SD card and reinstalled everything and now it works!!
The only thing that appeared different was that in both cases I saved the plain text file using Windows Notepad and the time it worked, I saved the file with encoding ANSI. Don't know if this is right, but when I ent into Plugplayer the radio stations were listed exactly as you described.
Also, I may have missed it in your instructions, but I had to add a content directory to point at the radio folder. In my case this was /home/pi/BBC Radio I then rescanned and then I could see the 1 playlist with all the stations.
Many thanks
Ian
I'm glad to hear it's working now. The content directory setting is mentioned in step 4 of the instructions. The m3u file should be saved as ANSI and I will add a note to the instructions saying this.

Hi Simon,
I am now trying to get mininstreamer to work with a Naim NDS. Everything looks right but it doesnt play anything (all works fine sreaming to my phone or Volumio). I think I might ned to transcode. But could do with some advice.
Cheers
Ian

What type of file are you trying to play (e.g., FLAC, M4A, MP3, AAC, WAV)?

Hi Simon,
I am trying to stream BBC radio using your streamer software and outputtin gthrough minimeserver to the Naim NDS.
As I say I know I hav the BBC thing right as I can get it to work using my phone as the streamer or Volumio. The NDS however, there is nothing.
The strema converte field is blank and if I try to enter *:L16 to the transcode field it does not work.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Ian

You can install the libav-tools package with this command:
sudo apt-get install libav-tools
When this has completed, you should be able to set the stream.converter property to avconv.
