The people over at Reciva have been grappling with a BBC problem for the last few days - specifically on demand wma issues. Maybe the following might be useful to help clear up wma issue here:
QUOTE In laymans terms, for the last few days the BBC have been offering their UK-Only streams to international listeners, hence international listeners have been having problems. To go into more depth: Taking yesterdays Archers as an example :- If you are in the UK: Your radio tries to connect to the url: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/again/b01dtlv0.asx This in turn redirects you to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4/asx/b01dtlv0/iplayer_intl_stream_wma_uk_concrete which is a playlist and gives the final url: mms://wm-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/radio4fmcoyopa/radio_4_fm_-_monday_1900.wma This should all work fine. If you are not in the UK: Your radio tries to connect to the same url: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/again/b01dtlv0.asx This in turn redirects you to: http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4/asx/b01dtlv0/iplayer_intl_stream_wma_lo_concrete (NOTE THE 'UK' PART OF THE URL NEAR THE END HAS CHANGED) which is a playlist and gives the final url: mms://wm-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms2/radio4fmcoyopa/radio_4_fm_-_monday_1900.wma You will notice that this is exactly the same as the final url in the UK example above, and here lies the problem. The 'ACL' part of that final url means that the BBC are filtering it to UK listeners only, yet it's being offered to everyone.
