Having said that, perhaps it's not too tricky to implement - LMS has a 3rd party a plugin for it. Plus Simon does have a track record for sorting unusual FLAC radio - re the BBC's experimental lossless MPEG-DASH FLAC R3 stream from a couple of years ago (sadly no longer available)!

I don't have any plans to add support for this nonstandard protocol that is used by only one radio station. The BBC R3 case was different in that it uses a standard protocol (MPEG-DASH) which could be used by other stations as well, although I'm not aware of any that are using it at the present time. A number of stations are using Ogg as a container to deliver lossless FLAC and this is supported by MinimStreamer.

Understood, and thanks.

I did feel that RP must be doing something out-of-the-way ordinary.!!!
