This solution is now available in MinimStreamer 0.5.2. When you play an HLS stream via MinimStreamer, it is automatically converted to a "normal" AAC ADTS stream. The converted AAC stream can optionally be transcoded to other formats such as wav, wav24 or L16. It can also be recorded to an AAC ADTS file.

I have tested this with the BBC streams in the following .m3u playlist file:

Edit: corrected some errors in the above stream URLs.

Wow, many thanks Simoncn for the BBC URL codes. I've just installed them into Shoutcast on my Synology with success. In fact it's about the only success I have had with the Synology and been searching for BBC access on the internet for some time to no avail. Not been able to use minimserver yet as kinsky (although see's minimserver), doesn't play. Progress in motion. Thank you, Alex
