Which would put us all back to square one. Sorry to sound bleak – it's more a comment on the Tzarist executives at the BBC Sounds unit than anything else.

Unfortunately this has just happened. I have removed the test build while I consider next steps.

For users who have already installed the test build, the bbcstreams=auth option will stop working soon.

Out of curiosity, how did they effect this clamp down? Is it a general thing, or did they specifically target Minimstreamer? Suddenly paranoid that they might be monitoring this forum.
