We can only hope that BBC implement as a proper service rather than keep experimenting as part of the development labs. I'm not sure of the status of RadioVis / RadioDNS (last message on BBC R&D is about 2011) but the group had message up to Jul 2014. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/radiovis-developers The BBC may be waiting for a RadioDNS standard which will work with all "vendors" but it looks like the AudioFactory changes may have sidelined all that by making it difficult for players vendors to actually play BBC streams. Meanwhile BBC R&D are playing around with RadioTag. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103240 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
