This is my first post to relate my experience on this matter.

I use Minim Server/Minimstreamer in conjunction with Frontier Silicon Wifi Portal/My Added Stations to stream BBC HLS streams to my Revo SuperConnect Radio - it is extremely stable and runs day and night if you let it go.

I have assigned favourites on my remote (the big clunky one) so that button two is BBC Radio 2 HLS, ditto 3, ditto 4 etc. Very easy to us, very stable and reliable and very high quality audio and has been for months.

If you have the same radio you can get the Frontier Silicon Wifi portal under Internet Radio in your hand book and the instructions for MinimStreamer here.

Many thanks to Simon for helping me enjoy the full potential of this great radio.

I think Revo may eventually enable DASH protocol decoding on their radios and Simon has said he may update the Minimstreamer to use this protocol in due course.

Hi, 1st time poster here (so be gentle please) I also use the frontier silicone portal (FSP) to add stations to my radio (can you guess which one?) but I am failing miserably to crack this HLS lark! I just don't understand the instructions

I have (I think) succesfully installed the minimserver/streamer packages (the icon is showing in my system tray).

I'm not sure if I've grasped the plain text file, so I may need some hints there but my real confusion is the adding of URLs (obviously I do this all the time on the FSP).

I'm adding my IP as per the instructions but then I'm completely confused as to how I formulate the rest of the address! The example given in the instructions says: "http://192.168.0.10:9790/minimstreamer/*/R3" - where does the "9790/minimstreamer/*/R3" come from?

As an example I have "BBC Radio2.m3u" saved as a plain text file in my BBC Radio folder (as per instructions). That file contains this text: "http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_two.m3u8" if that helps?
