Hi all, especially bpa

Three, or so years ago, bpa helped me get the rtmp steam of the"European
Service" of Egypt's state radio to play on my Squeezebox by encoding the
parameters of the options in the URL to Base64 so as to be read by the
BBC iPlayer.   Last summer the URLs of that radio service changed. Here
is the revised URL, which I verified to play using both rtmpdump and
ffplay.


Code:
--------------------
    rtmp://livestreaming5.onlinehorizons.net/ElBernamegElOrobi  -a 
ElBernamegElOrobi  -f WIN 32,0,0,270   -w 
http://www.egradio.eg/our_extentions/egplayer/swf/flowplayer-3.2.18.swf -p 
http://egradio.eg/our_extentions/egplayer/ -v    -y livestream
--------------------


Encoded to Base 64 for BBC iPlayer, it looks like this:

Code:
--------------------
    
rtmp://livestreaming5.onlinehorizons.net?streamname=bGl2ZXN0cmVhbQ==&app=RWxCZXJuYW1lZ0VsT3JvYmk=&live=MQ==&swfurl=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5lZ3JhZGlvLmVnL291cl9leHRlbnRpb25zL2VncGxheWVyL3N3Zi9mbG93cGxheWVyLTMuMi4xOC5zd2Y=&tcurl=cnRtcDovL2xpdmVzdHJlYW1pbmc1Lm9ubGluZWhvcml6b25zLm5ldC9FbEJlcm5hbWVnRWxPcm9iaQ==&pageurl=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5lZ3JhZGlvLmVnL291cl9leHRlbnRpb25zL2VncGxheWVyLw==&.mp3
--------------------


I did some tests using rtmpdump that confirmed to me that only the -a
[app] and -y [playpath] options are required.

Code:
--------------------
    rtmp://livestreaming5.onlinehorizons.net  -a ElBernamegElOrobi   -y 
livestream
--------------------


which when encoded to Base64 look like this:

Code:
--------------------
    
rtmp://livestreaming5.onlinehorizons.net?streamname=bGl2ZXN0cmVhbQ==&app=RWxCZXJuYW1lZ0VsT3JvYmk=&.mp3
--------------------


I also verified that including the two option parameters as part of the
URL works. In that instance, there is no need to encode.

Code:
--------------------
    rtmp://livestreaming5.onlinehorizons.net/ElBernamegElOrobi/livestream?.mp3
--------------------



Yet, none of these "play" to the SqueezeBox Radio, ie. no audio

I initially, focussed on a faulty encoding, (e.g. wrong syntax) being
the source of the problem, and that could still be.  However, I noticed
on the LMS UI that the URL shows as playing. 

See for example in the screen grab below how the time played iis
displayed as 1:03.      What then could be the reason for no audio? I do
get excellent audio for regular mp3 and M3U8 streams. Are there settings
for the BBC iPlayer plugin that I may have messed up ?

All help is appreciated.
