BBC Radio Playback - Yamaha Musiccast - ajtuk - 14-05-2025 19:08
Hello,
I am using MinumServer 2.2 update 258 and MinimStreamer 2.0.13 to play BBC radio streams through my Yamaha Musiccast system.
The streams are all working, but, playing back at a slower speed than when cast via the BBC sounds app, or played on DAB radio. I am sure this is because I am using an incorrect transcoding setting.
My m3u file has all the streams listed in this format:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,[R1;aac,4800] BBC Radio - One
#EXTALB: Live Broadcast
#EXTGENRE: Live Radio [bbc-off]
http://as-hls-uk-live.akamaized.net/pool_01505109/live/uk/bbc_radio_one/bbc_radio_one.isml/bbc_radio_one-audio%3d320000.norewind.m3u8
My stream.transcode is set to aac:L16 and my stream.converter to opt/bin/ffmpeg
I've copied the ffmpeg binaries to that location on my server.
Any suggestions for what transcode options I need to set so the Musiccast system receives a stream in the format it understands?
Thank you.

Your transcode options are fine but the #EXTINF line is incorrect. Instead of 4800 it should say 48000. After fixing this, you need to rescan your library.

Thank you. I thought it was something simple. All working well now.
