I'm still very puzzled about the 320kbps HLS stream situation. Right back in the second week in February, various people found Live stream HLS urls by network monitoring the iPlayer app on iThings and Android. But these urls only listed 128kbps maximum streams - and they still do. I'm pretty sure therefore that iThings and Android things only did 128kbps Live streams then, and last time I looked on android that was still the case. Then there was this post by 'nabisco' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?64035-nabisco): '#2232' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?53229-Announce-BBCiPlayer-Plugin-(UK-only)&p=806849&viewfull=1#post806849) that told us the magic /uk/sbr_high/ urls that give the 320kbps live streams. This post was the origin of these urls getting made public, AFAIKT. This sounds like insider information to me. Who is nabisco? He just popped up for that one day to give us this valuable information! So what devices were using these urls? Not iThings or Android! It seems it is just us using them - then also picked up by minimserver. All very mysterious. The question is, are 320kbps Listen Again streams similarly hidden now? Does anyone know. Nabisco - where are you - do you know? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103311 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
