The BBC are always changing their mind. They'd prefer users to use DASH but are forced to also support HLS because of Apple. Because of the outcry when they switched WMA off - they provided MP3 - initially for a short period but they have not said they will kill it off as there are too many internet radio which don't support DASH or HLS.
The URL you have aproblem is via Tune-in and it seems to have a problemn but that would be an issue with Tune-in. That said, the correct BBC 5 live URL ( http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/select/mediaset/http-icy-mp3-a/format/pls/proto/http/vpid/bbc_radio_five_live.pls ) - nearly always playe a rights restirction message as they are providing sports commentaries which are not available outside the UK (currently champions league match) . It works in the morning. If you are using mysqueezebox.com - you have no choice but to play the MP3 stream but you could use the BBC applet which may be more up to date. If you are using a local LMS - then you coudl installed the BBCiPlayer polugin and play stream in HLS, DASH or MP3 as well as access Listen Again programs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110276 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
