Even if the BBC locked all the streams down with a DRM solution, I could plug a recording device into the headphone jack on my iPhone, iPad etc. Heck, the sound recording software on my PC even has a "What you hear" line-in option, so I could record from iPlayer in a web browser.
The thing is I have never felt the need to record & keep radio programs in the past, as I could always Listen Again using the 'BBC iPlayer' plug-in. Thankfully using expectingtofly's excellent hack I still can, having edited my "BBCXMLParser.pm" (in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\BBCiPlayer" on my Windows server - hope the location helps others). BIG THANKS to expectingtofly :) Lets hope the clever & helpful folks on this forum can help us navigate this streaming nightmare until everything settles down. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ W92Neriah's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=34111 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
