And it works! Thanks very much indeed! :)
I think the other thing I had to do was ensure I had 'proxied streaming'
set in the settings/player/audio configuration.
ffmpeg reports low bit rates (~120kb) for the streams I quoted, eg:
Code:
--------------------
Input #0, hls,applehttp, from
'http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/high/ak/bbc_radio_three.m3u8':
Duration: 00:00:00.01, start: 91750.034844, bitrate: 130 kb/s
Program 0
Metadata:
variant_bitrate : 135680
Stream #0:0: Audio: aac ([15][0][0][0] / 0x000F), 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp, 130
kb/s
Metadata:
variant_bitrate : 135680
--------------------
So how do I get to a higher bit rate stream? A different URL?
I also had to use my real Touch or squeezelite for a change. I have
been using squeeze2upnp (a way of playing LMS via UPnP devices) but
something isn't quite right there for this stream and pcm - I just got
noise (very loud). No matter that's for another time and thread.
If the listen-again software can be sorted we will have a complete
solution, only days after the BBC screwed it all up. Both my Internet
Radiso use Vtuner and show no signs of ever being updated to satisfy the
Beeb's new streaming methods, but they both support UPnP, so I'll be
able to use LMS everywhere I need it. Great!
What a wonderful community this is, and what a well-conceived piece of
software LMS has shown itself to be - again! Sometimes something is
'just right'.
LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit,
44.1->192kbps. LMS & Squeeze2upnp (Beta - derived from squeezelite) to
Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC and Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Squeezelite
to PC sound. Minimserver (server) and upplay (control point) to same
amps & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Meridian USB Explorer DAC from PCs
to speakers/headphones. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop controls
LMS/upplay via Firefox. Have a Touch with EDO, and a spare, but don't
use.
