I tried your .m3u8 file with no transcoding and the latest test build of JPLAY running on my iPad. The line

#EXTINF:-1,[+FluxFM Jazz] FluxFM Jazz

produces two streams in the By Folder view: [FluxFM Jazz] FluxFM Jazz and FluxFM Jazz. Both these streams play on my iPad without transcoding.

The version of JPLAY that I used for this test is 1.3.7 (198). It is a preview test build that is not generally available.

Thanks Simon
Are you able to play to a renderer that does not support SSL/https?
That is my scenario.

The .m3u file you attached to post #8 has http:// for FluxFM (not https://), so https is not involved when playing this stream.

Please try changing the playlist entry for this stream to the following:

#EXTINF:-1,[+FluxFM Jazz;mp3] FluxFM Jazz
http://fluxfm.streamabc.net/flx-jazzradio-mp3-128-4986317

Adding ;mp3 informs the renderer that this is an MP3 stream and might help with the issue you are seeing. After making this change, do a MinimServer rescan and reload the station into your renderer.

I made the change you suggested:

Playing this without *:wav24 in the properties
#EXTINF:-1,[+FluxFM Jazz;mp3] FluxFM Jazz
http://fluxfm.streamabc.net/flx-jazzradi...28-4986317
This WORKS...Thanks!!

I also tested the following https station to check https handling:
Without *:wav24
#EXTINF:-1,[Venice Classic Radio - Auditorium] Venice Classic Radio - Auditorium
https://uk2.streamingpulse.com/ssl/vcr1
This fails.

Adding *:wav24 back in:
#EXTINF:-1,[Venice Classic Radio - Auditorium] Venice Classic Radio - Auditorium
https://uk2.streamingpulse.com/ssl/vcr1
This works!

This is the same issue. You need to use this in your m3u file:

#EXTINF:-1,[Venice Classic Radio - Auditorium;mp3] Venice Classic Radio - Auditorium
https://uk2.streamingpulse.com/ssl/vcr1

Some renderers need the stream type in advance, before starting to play the stream. Adding ;mp3 provides this information. Transcoding using *:wav24 also provides this information.
