There is more to the this than just altering a conf file as LMS will get the Mime from the http URL and IIRC it is ambiguous and if set up wrongly may break playing other non HLS http streams. I did a hack job of a plugin for HLS / m3u8 about 2 yrs ago and it was revived last Aug see http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?97542-Any-ideas-why-this-stream-won-t-play&p=728964&viewfull=1#post728964 I'll look at the BBC streams over the weekend if this is still a live issue. Since BBC will be changing to DASH soon there is little point in putting much effort into this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
