The Rendu plays normal AAC happily but I see that there is no transcoding output to AAC. Would it be possible to add this to the options available so that the AAC ADTS stream could be converted to normal AAC?

The debug log shows that the Rendu is closing the connection for some reason.

It might be that the Rendu can't handle the 48 kHz sample rate used by the BBC HLS streams. You could test this by specifying *:wav16;44 to see if this solves the problem.

If this doesn't solve the problem, I suggest you send this debug log to the Rendu developers and ask them to explain why the Rendu can't play this WAV stream.

An AAC ADTS stream contains "normal" AAC data. The problem doesn't seem to be caused by sending AAC to the renderer, as it still isn't working when you use WAV transcoding.

The *:wav16;44 transcoding does not solve the problem.
I've asked Sonore to look into this, and sent them 3 debug files for alternative transcodings - see attachments.
