Pausing streamed radio

This obviously requires the audio signal to be routed via Wi-Fi rather than my normal setup where it is sent to my PC via a wired Ethernet network. None of the BBC Radio HLS aac streams worked (perhaps due to Wi-Fi bandwidth limitations) but my Classic FMs 320kbps MP3 stream was OK on the phone.

The BubbleUPnP local renderer cannot play AAC ADTS streams. It can play MP3 streams. You can work around this problem by transcoding these AAC ADTS streams to WAV. The simplest way to do this is to add aac:wav or *:wav to the stream.transcode property.

Quote:As I expected, pausing this radio stream did not work. I couldn't find anything in the JRMC documentation about pausing streamed radio but it does claim to offer pause, rewind, fast forward, and record for HD television via Netflix so it seems likely that it would also apply to radio.

I agree that it seems likely that support for pausing and resuming a radio stream is a feature of JRiver.
