The test stream is at https://vs-dash-ww-rd-live.bbcfmt.hs.llnwd.net/al/lossless/client_manifest.mpd Not sure if it will ourtside the UK and whether ti will work as a http not https. If they did it properly - it could be easy. If they hacked it will be very hard. It looks like a bit of a hack - encapsulating Flac in MP4 and then saying mime is "audio/mp4" which it isn't but relying on the MPD to override the codecs - it'll be messy to get it working. There is no standard for this as BBC has noted. > The main challenge was finding a standards-based approach to delivering > lossless audio to the browser.
