BBC Radio streaming to Google cast devices

[simbun]

@simoncn,

I was wondering whether you'd had any joy streaming the BBC radio channels to Google cast devices natively?

I've tried both MPEG-DASH and HLS with varying declarations and mixed success.

I haven't got HLS working at all, but I've got MPEG-DASH streaming for about 20 seconds before it stops with the following declarations:
#EXTINF:-1, BBC Radio 1
#EXTINF:-1, [;aac;48000]

One post suggests the mime-types required are:
{
"type": "hls",
"mime": "application/x-mpegurl",
},
{
"type": "dash",
"mime": "application/dash+xml",
}

Another post indicates that the segment format needs to be specified as TS (which is defined in the underlying m3u8) for the BBC HLS stream.

I have no idea whether any of that is applicable from a UPnP perspective - especially when there's a control point doing some protocol translation in between - but I thought I'd ask as it seems so close.

MinimStreamer has it covered in any event, just thought it would be more efficient on the LAN if it was possible.
