I'm starting a new thread for discussion of the new version of the BBCiPlayer plugin as it now supports both UK and non UK users and I can't change the title of the previous thread.
Version 0.9 of the BBCiPlayer plugin is now available from the recommended 3rd party plugin section of Extension Downloader (7.3) or the Plugins page (7.4) The purpose of the plugin is to make BBC live and listen again streams available via Squeezebox players. Streams are the highest quality available from the BBC and are ~128k in the UK, but restricted to ~48k outside the uk. The plugin will add a menu entry to the Radio menu of your players which contains menu entries for live streams plus menus of all of the last 7 days of BBC radio output which are available. Major features: - UK National listen live streams using AAC - UK National listen again streams for the last 7 days of bbc radio output using AAC - UK Regional listen live and listen again streams using AAC - UK Local radio listen again streams using MP3 Known restrictions: - it is sometimes necessary to go back to the top of the menu hierachy and then nativate back to a stream if you want to restart it. This is resolved with 7.4 - bookmarking streams using the preset buttons on boom should be done from the menu entry for a stream rather than the now playing screen. - creates more server cpu load than the previous version of iPlayer. This is because aac streams are transcoded on the server. Please post comments and issues on this thread. -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67098 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
