Yes, a little bit "between a rock and a hard place". I seem to remember that when the HLS change occurred, one of the BBC Bloggers said the intention was to put a stop to "abuse" of broadcast content in the near future. I took that remark to be aimed at "get iplayer". On the BBC Radio iPlayer web pages it is stated clearly that > *You can only access live BBC programmes and podcasts on your internet > radio. On-demand programmes are not available.* Yet on another page > Listening via IP Streaming DevicesLike Internet Radios, these > devices stream radio stations from the internet via a *broadband > connection* and (WiFi) router but are intended to be part of a HiFi > setup to allow high quality listening in a controlled environment. > These devices generally do not suffer from limited processing and memory > resources and so are capable of consuming our highest bitrate AAC+ > streams over HLS or MPEG-DASH. > Full on demand support is usually available with these devices using the > HLS or MPEG-DASH protocols. > > > The question is, I guess, do the manufacturers of these IP Streaming Devices, who are, I presume, the vendors referred to here by bpa > The problem is policy vs accommodation - if the feed is supposed to be > only used by vendors and a message arrives at support - what officially > should they do ? answer or warn us off ? pay any sort of fee/license for the feed, or is it supplied gratis by the BBC? I wonder if a "Freedom of information Act" enquiry would reap any benefit? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109446 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
