New BBC Radio Streams

[cmar057]

Dear Simon,

Thanks! It's working now. I did enter the url as network stream but obviously I didn't wait long enough. I still get the error message but if I leave VLC alone the stream eventually opens and plays and so does the UPnP feed from minimserver though. In both cases VLC flags a problem - with its warning icon. I'm using VLC 2.2.1 on a Mac.

Best,

Chris

It looks like you are trying to play your .m3u file using VLC. You should be using "Open network stream" with the URL:

Which version of VLC are you using?
