http://x.x.x.x:9790/minimstreamer/*/zz

whe x.x.x.x is the IP address of the machine running MinimServer/MinimStreamer and zz is the stream id from the .m3u file (for example, R2 for Radio 2).

I have added this information to the web page now.

Don't know if this helps?

On the Reciva Portal for my Revo Radio I have added stations like the one in the attached picture for each of the playlist items to which I am interested in listening.

I then go to "Internet Radio/Station List/My Added Stations and select (in this case) BBC Radio 3 which "points" the Revo to the R3 item in the playlist
and the HLS streams plays on the radio.

I then press and hold the "3" button on the clunky remote and this station is assigned to the "3" button.

Repeat for all the stations you are interested in receiving.

Please note, anything beyond BBC Radio 3 in the station title is arbitary an can be omitted.

Ok just to rule it out (and this must be a problem, if not the problem) the m3u file has saved as a winamp type and so is defaulting to open in winamp. How can I change this? I have tried browsing to find the minimserver, but can't find anything obvious to choose (recommended programs are VLC or Windows media). Alternatively, how do I get the m3u file to save as something other than a winamp type?

Getting up to my level of competence now so shoot me down too if this isn't right.

I don't think the filetype matters, (mine says Windows Media Player if I view it from a Windows PC). Where you install the playlist matters it should be at the same level as your minimserver/streamer installation. So from your image your minimserver/streamer installation shoud be at C:/minimserver, is that correct?

Edit: Strike this post - it'll probably cause more confusion than help. I'll bow out now before I cause any more problems.
