BBC R3 Lossless Stream

[DavidHB]

I duly tried the [R3DASH] stream, using the instance of MinimServer on my old (Netgear) NAS. I cleared the stream.transcode property, and took the opportunity to do a rescan. The log showed only the normal rescan messages.

I then pointed BubbleDS at the libary on the Netgear NAS, and selected the [R3DASH] stream in the radio stations playlist. The DS briefly displayed the station name, then simply stopped, with the display showing just 'Title', as if it had simply not recognised either the URL or the stream. This happened very quickly; the DSM did not stall, as it had done on previous occasions. There was no message in the MinimServer log.

I tried this twice, and then verified that the other streams were playing correctly from the playlist. For the sake of completeness, here is the [R3DASH] entry in the .m3u playlist. It was copied and pasted from the original instructions, and appears to be correct:

#EXTINF:-1,[*R3DASH;flac] BBC Radio 3 lossless
'http://vs-dash-ww-rd-live.bbcfmt.hs.llnwd.net/al/lossless/client_manifest.mpd ; I've added the ' at the beginning of the line to prevent the creation of a link

As an aside, I tried playing the [R3DASH] stream from the same NAS to foobar2000, and had the following error message:

Unable to open item for playback (Unsupported format or corrupted file):
"http://192.168.1.200:9790/minimstreamer/*/R3DASH/$!stream.flac"

If I try to play the stream from the other NAS, and so transcoded, in foobar2000, the error message is:

Unable to open item for playback (Internal Server Error (500)):
"http://192.168.1.220:9790/minimstreamer/*/R3DASH/$!transcode-24-2gb.wav"
