Configuring radio streams with minimwatch

You can also try making a couple of experimental changes to see whether they help:

1) Add a stream type. For the NAIM stream, you would do this by changing NAIM to NAIM;mp3 in the playlist entry

2) Transcode the stream to WAV or L16. You would do this by setting the stream.transcode property to

mp3:wav, *:wav

or

mp3:L16, *:L16

After changing the transcoding settings, restart MinimServer to make sure they are active.

I have attached two further log files showing the response to:
1. MinimServer log with stream type mp3 added to NAIM.zip
2. MinimServer log with transcoding added.zip

I still only get the odd couple of seconds playback - frustrating as it sounds excellent!

[Edit]
A further clue is that it streams to the tablet as a renderer OK! It's looking like some problem with the QED device.

Also, I can now get a few seconds of BBC streams from the transcoded links (first entry in the playlist), whereas the straight through links still give the error message. I guess that's the forced transcoding causing it to try.
