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.

Thanks for the response. I've made some progress - to recap:
MinimServer, MinimStreamer and music library on Synology NAS, with playback control by BubbleUPnP app on Nexus tablet, streaming to renderers remotely (Sonore Rendu) and locally (Nexus tablet).

After experimenting with transcoding options I found:
1) All BBC radio channels play OK on the local renderer
2) With no transcoding by ffmpeg or transcoding *:wav or *:wav24, playback lasts about 2 seconds i.e. the 'pause' symbol remains for about 2 sec until the 'play' symbol reappears
3) With transcoding "*:mp3" playback lasts for between 12 and 30 seconds.

Any further thoughts?
P.S. I've raised the issue with Sonore as well in case it is a limitation of the Rendu renderer.

System: ALAC iTunes library on Synology DS923+ (running MinimServer) > NetGear router > Optical isolation > dCS Network Bridge (controlled by Galaxy Tab S2 tablet running BubbleUPnP&Mosaic) > PS Audio DirectStream DAC > Primare A60 > Harbeth SHL5plus 40th Anniversary model
