BBC R3 Lossless Stream

[simoncn]

Version 0.7.1 of the protoype is now available for testing. If you are using an earlier version of the prototype, please update to 0.7.1 by doing the following:

1) In the Packages tab of the Properties window, type the following in the 'Other package' field: minimstreamer-0.7.1

2) Click Install and follow the prompts to install the package

3) When installation is complete, click Relaunch

If you haven't yet installed the prototype, see the full installation instructions in post 12.

This version adds support for the MPEG-DASH AAC 320k experimental binaural stream and the MPEG-DASH AAC 320k standard Radio 3 stream. These are repackaged by MinimStreamer as AAC/ADTS, so transcoding isn't required to make the stream playable but can be used if desired.

Here is a .m3u playlist that is suitable for testing all the streams:
