Can you post your playlist file here?

I have just tried my system with my smartphone, android 4.4.4, bubbleUPnP and local renderer. I can't get any BBC stream to play. I have declared aac in the playlist, and then omitting transcode, or (with ffmpeg) supplying aac:wav or aac:mp3. None work on that device.

My other software renderers (upmpdcli and mpd), and two Internet Radios, all still work, although some need transcoding aac:wav.

Okay - that clarifies the issue a bit!

I'll fire up my Reciva radio - it can play aac. So what do you suggest as settings?

It's the same as the corrected BBC m3u posted here earlier

There's more than one m3u quoted and I'm not sure to which one you refer - the one with aac in it, and using sbr_high? I just thought I'd ask Smile

No transcode at all to start with.

m3u containing:

Code:

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:-1,[*R3;aac] BBC Radio 3

http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_low/ak/bbc_radio_three.m3u8

(assuming you are still outside the UK).

If that fails I supplied ffmpeg, and aac:wav for transcoding.

Does the Reciva support tunein or vTuner or similar? I'm about to shut down for the night, so good luck!

Absolutely nothing in any combination. And minim refuses to stop or exit,

Sadly, I can't waste anymore time on this, unless somebody has a brainwave!

Back to squeeze2upnp, I think.

Now you have me baffled. Apart from some issues I had with which tags to use on flacs, minimserver and streamer have been much, much easier to use than LMS, let alone squeeze2upnp. Admittedly I'm on ubuntu, whereas I think you are using Windows for this trial, but it should be almost trivial to get minimstreamer working.

What Control Point are you using? I gather you got some mp3s working OK, is that right?

A further thought. Have you got a firewall in place? If so, just try with it off for a minute.

Sorry but I've uninstalled the whole shebang! Got fed up having to reboot to stop minimserver.

I'll wait until somebody else gets it working with Reciva radios (although most of the Reciva crowd seem to have lost heart over all this BBC nonsense)

I've never had a lock-up with minimserver or a need to reboot. All very odd. Simon - any thoughts?

There seems to be a problem with the BubbleUPnP local renderer playing an AAC network stream (or a large AAC file).

As a workaround, you can transcode the stream to wav, wav24 or L16 in one of the following ways:

1) Add the aac stream type in the playlist and add aac:wav, aac:wav24 or aac:L16 to the stream.transcode property

2) Don't add a stream type in the playlist and add *:wav, *:wav24 or *:L16 to the stream.transcode property

Both of these require ffmpeg or avconv to be available. I have tried them with BubbleUPnP on my Nexus 7 and they are working correctly.

I will report the AAC problem to the author of BubbleUPnP.
