BBC radio streams not working
The BBC appears to have discontinued the AAC streams for national radio stations. These are being replaced by new HLS AAC streams. I am working on a technical solution to enable MinimStreamer to handle the new HLS streams.

I am working on a technical solution to enable MinimStreamer to handle the new HLS streams. Thanks Simon. This is causing mayhem among many users of Internet radios and devices such as Squeezebox. The BBC has carefully hidden the new URLs behind their radio player popups in browsers, so it's really hard to find out where to point things such as MinimStreamer. But from what you say above, we need more than just the URL anyway. Looks like it's back to FM for me - which sounds much better anyway

RE: BBC radio streams not working
These are the 128kbps aac streams:
http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector...at/pls.pls http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector...at/pls.pls http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector...at/pls.pls http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector...at/pls.pls http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector...at/pls.pls And these are the 320kbps AAC streams: http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/man...o_one.m3u8 http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/man...o_two.m3u8 http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/man...three.m3u8 http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/man...ourfm.m3u8 http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/man...extra.m3u8 http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/man..._live.m3u8 http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/man...extra.m3u8 http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/man...music.m3u8 I've tried each one. I didn't find a url for Radio6 at 128kbps. |

Interesting to find it's the HLS format, explains why my KitiKat devices play it fine but my old Archos running Froyo has finally encountered a format it can't play. HLS compatible Minimstreamer will save the day, at least at home, thanks. |

Are you saying you are going provide a specific HLS AAC input type, with perhaps an additional 'standard' AAC output type, in the MinimStreamer update? Will it still require ffmpeg? John |

RE: BBC radio streams not working
Indeed, just by putting *:wav in the stream.transcode field. My MinimServer's running on an old XP box (took the 'risk' of installing Java 8, BTW) and using ffmpeg version 2.5, if that's any help.

If it's confirmed by other users, it would provide a temporary solution until the new support is available. |

RE: BBC radio streams not working
So I assume you are using ffmpeg, not avconv.
Can you quote exactly what URL you are supplying, and how? In an m3u file, or what? |
