BBC radio streams with Synology DSM 6.2.4 - Fix

[RichardWS]

As an enthusiastic non-UK based BBC radio listener, I have been using Minim Streamer installed on an NAS to listen to BBC on my Cyrus Stream Xa. No problems using the basic MinimStreamer/Server set-up with ffmpeg.

We had an internet radio in the kitchen to listen to BBC on the internet. Now the ever-thoughful BBC has withdrawn this facility and an alternative is required. Luckily the internet radio also has a UPnP renderer on which I could find the BBC Radio Dash files which were shown however as being empty. However after the following the instructions in this thread, downloading and installing the FFmpeg4 package and transcode aac:wav, both Cyrus Stream and kitchen radio work.

So many thanks for this. Now to set-up custom radio station URL's which should simplify operation of the internet radio.
