OK thanks. Even if a solution is forthcoming, I suspect it'll be
clunkier than the original Triode plug-in which could be used via MSB.
This whole debacle is making me wonder if it'll be easier to buy another
system that is compatible with HLS/DASH streaming protocols. Right now
an iPod Touch hooked up to the hi-fi via a decent DAC is looking quite
attractive. At least it can handle all the HTML- and flash-based
streams.

Another thought occurs too - couldn't a network streamer be designed
with VLC as it's core media player engine? VLC seems to be able to cope
with anything that's thrown at it, and it is open-source is it not?

Thanks,
Nick
