It sounds like you are trying to follow the instructions for an internet radio (minimradio.com). For examples of such devices, type internet radio into Google. These instructions don't apply if you are using a UPnP renderer. What device (music player) do you want to use to play the BBC streams?

There is another page with instructions for using a UPnP renderer to play these streams. These instructions could be misleading because they assume you don't already have MinimServer installed.

I will create a new page with instructions for adding BBC radio streams to an existing working installation of MinimServer. As I understand it, this is your situation. I will post back here when the new page is available.

Thanks Simon,

I have a Linn Majik DS with SPDIF output to Cyrus pre-DAC and Ethernet to G-bit switch that connects to Minimserver on QNAP TS253A and home wired network.

I also have a second MinimServer on QNAP TS251B with its local switch to Sonos and linked to my home network

I still use Linn Kinsky (or Sonos 1) as the control point on my android phone, but will probably soon move to Bubblegum, although suggestions for better alternatives would be welcome.

I want to be able to be able to play BBC stations from a new control point simply by selecting Radio stations > station list as well as Music Library > Artist >albums list. This will obsolete my Cyrus DAB tuner.

Look forward to your updated instructions

PS: Am I right that I need a Licence update to do this?
