BBC radio streams not working

On my Marantz M-CR603 player it gave garbled sound until I added /$!stream.aac after .....R3 . I had no transcode for an unspecified type, but did, from previous tests, have aac:wav. So that works, and is an option you may want to mention on minimradio.

On my Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC I used to get 'server error' with the long URL, but now get 'file format error'. I tried with and without /$!stream.aac . This player does work with the UPnP playlist item R3, but I guess that's a different bit of protocol handling in the player. Any thoughts?

I assume it doesn't matter that my m3u file is called BBC_Radio.m3u (I'm allergic to spaces)?

I shall mention minimradio on the BBC website.

Thanks a lot.

I have now made this work on both my players, but I have to omit any form of aac:wav (or whatever) transcoding, and I removed the /$!stream.aac from the URLs. I can include a *:wav transcode without causing any problems - does that mean minimstreamer does know it's an aac stream?
