Radio streams unplayable by some but not all Reciva radios

I had noticed exactly the same problem with the new BBC HLS AAC streams which only the two newer radios can play if stream.transcode is set to aac:L16. The stream converter is ffmpeg. The newer radios are on a different (more recent) firmware version that the other two.

It would be great if my two older radios also could play radio streams served by MinimStreamer, maybe by activating the correct properties. Debug logs showing connection attempts by the Avox TMA1 (successful) and the Avox Petite (unsuccessful) are attached.

The problem is caused by a byte-range header in the HTTP GET request sent by the Petite. This is OK when reading an MP3 file from disk but it doesn't work when reading an internet radio stream. The TMA1 isn't sending a byte-range header, so it works OK.

Unfortunately, there isn't any solution for this.
