RE: BBC R3 Lossless Stream

You'll find a fair few of the usual suspects from over on the Linn forum here as well ... The difference between those who find that the R3DASH stream works with Linn DS/DSMs and those who don't seems to be a function of which server platform they are using, and possibly therefore (I am guessing here) whether that platform has a relevant codec installed that MinimStreamer/FFMPEG can make use of. Actually what is needed is more than just the codec; it is a combination of the ability to use the MPEG-DASH (variable bit rate) streaming technique, plus the variant of FLAC in which the BBC stream is encoded (Cebolla's explanation at post #15 above refers). How those capabilities happen to be installed on one platform and not on another I don't know. As I understand it, MPEG-DASH is more commonly associated with video codecs, but, as it is codec neutral, it can be used with audio codecs (FLAC in this case) as well. David |
