The main problem with the BBC's tinned response is that while everyone making internet radios and programming software aggregators -wishes- to use the HLS streams, only one hardware manufacturer to date is capable of doing so. The rest are still selling hardware that cannot be retrofitted to accommodate the BBC's decision on what constitutes the current state of technology. There is at least one other European broadcaster whose programming I listen to, that provides their streams in HLS for iPhone, but WMA for wifi receivers. WMA is apparently still very viable despite BBC's protests to the contrary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ shoshani's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64193 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103311 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
