Here are the steps to get this working on Naim:

1) Make sure you are running MinimServer 0.8.3 and MinimStreamer 0.5.2

2) Add the playlist to your library and make sure the URLs are correct. Here is a small sample playlist for testing purposes (note the 'aac' specification in the stream type):

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,[*R3;aac] BBC Radio 3
http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_three.m3u8

3) Make sure ffmpeg or avconv is installed

4) In the stream.transcode property, add aac:L16

5) From the minim icon, select Rescan

6) In the Naim app, clear the UPnP cache

7) In the Naim app, browse to the playlist entry and play the radio stream
