Help required to stream BBC Radio to Sonore Rendu, using Bubble UPnP controller

In the past I have successfully installed the 3 Linn playlists (classical, radio and jazz) by inserting a ".m3u" file into my music library list of folders. These have URLs specified directly (89.16.185. 174:8000, 8003 and 8004). To get this to work I had to disable "Mime-type check" in "UPnP tweaks" in BubbleUPnP.

I tried modifying the BBC Radio.m3u file as suggested in another thread by inserting ";aac" but this did not help.

The BBC Radio playlist appears in the BubbleUPnP control screen but if I choose a station to play the 'play' arrow remains on for 2 seconds before reverting to pause. There is no sound output.
Each time I change anything I exit MinimServer in BubbleUPnP and re-scan the music library before re-testing.

As I already use stream transcode to convert ALAC to 24 bit WAV I'm reluctant to try *:L16 or *:wav as I guess the '*' means everything.

Any thoughts on sorting this out would be gratefully received!

The * doesn't mean everything. For details, see the description of the * input type in this section.

If you are using the BubbleUPnP local renderer to play the stream on your Android device, you need to transcode the stream because Android can't play an AAC ADTS radio stream. You can do this by removing the ;aac that you added to the .m3u file and specifying *:L16, *:wav or *:wav24 in stream.transcode. I don't have a Rendu and I don't know what transcode setting (if any) is needed for playing AAC ADTS streams on this.
