This post relates to V1.5.4 which has only one change from 1.5.3 - to support DASH Flac. It is a rough and ready addition.
The BBC have been testing DASH Flac stream for last few months ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects/radio-3-concert-sound also http://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/blog/2017-04-radio-3-high-quality-flac-dash ). I have done a mod to BBCiPlayer to play these Flac streams. This has been discussed on the "original" bBCiPlayer DASHthread. http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?104672-BBCiPlayer-with-DASH-support-test-version/page28 Although this test is due to end in 2 weeks - it looks like the BBC may be using same technology for Proms so it may be helpful for users to test. see https://www.whathifi.com/news/bbc-proms-to-be-broadcast-in-lossless-audio-first-time and http://www.tvbeurope.com/bbc-deliver-proms-flac-level-audio/ ----------------------------------------------- Since time is short - this is V1.5.4 quickly put together. Only change is for Flac. Not extensively tested. Change the plugin repo to http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/V154testrelease-repo.xml Install as usual.. Two new menus "Radio 3 Flac" in Live & Live (non-UK). This only plays DASH-Flac format. Make sure plugin "Live Stream Preference" is "Dashflac > DASH" Make sure "Seconds to delay live stream start" is set to 1 min or more. No skip back ability as BBC only provides last 10 mins of live stream. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106409 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
