Thanks for the info. So does that mean that this stream would trip up all internet radio devices? It's a shame because it's a good quality stream that I would like to be able to hear on the hi-fi system. Here's another one, one of the stations of the Turkish Public broadcaster TRT: http://sol.trtcdn.com/rd/trtfm/playlist.m3u8 Is this the same sort of problem? I find listening to other countries PSB services very interesting and it's a pity that they use odd implementations that trip up devices like the Squeezebox.
