Are you located in the UK? The BBC DASH streams in the sample file are only available to UK users.

Have you installed MinimStreamer on your Windows PC? You will not be able to play the BBC stations without MinimStreamer installed.

When you save the file in Notepad, you should change the "Save as type" field from Text Documents (*.txt) to All Files (*.*). This will prevent Notepad from adding the .txt suffix to the filename.

I think you are close now. Don't give up! This feedback from your experiences is very valuable to me and I will use it to improve the instructions which are not as clear as they should be.

If are in the UK and have installed MinimStreamer and the station isn't playing, please produce a debug log file by doing the following:

1) Select 'Show log' from the minim icon
2) Change the logging level to Debug
3) In the log window, click Clear
4) Leave the log window open
5) Try to play one of the BBC stations
6) When you get the error message about an unsupported file format (where are you seeing this message?), click the 'Save as' button in the log window to save a log file. Do this immediately without making any more attempts to play the stream.
7) Attach the log file to a post here

The log file should tell me what is causing the problem.
