On Live Radio, using HLS (either the Patched BBCiPlayer-v1.2.14 + PlayHLS/ffmpeg, or Triode's updated BBCiPlayer-v1.3.1alpha2) you'll get 320kbps on every station (in the UK) except the World Service, which is 64kbps. On Listen Again using RTMP (either with the patched BBCiPlayer-v1.2.14, or using BBCiPlayerExtra v1.8 in conjunction with the patched BBCiPlayer-v1.2.14 or BBCiPlayer-v1.3.1alpha2) you'll get 320kbps for Radio3 and 128kpbs for everything else except World Service. On Listen Again using HLS (either the patched BBCiPlayer-v1.2.14 (with no seek!), or BBCiPlayer-v1.3.1alpha2) it's 128kbps on all stations now, including Radio3 (except World Service of course). All the HLS Listen Again content has been 128kbps only for the past month. There are just a few Radio3 programmes from late February left in HLS at 320kbps, but they are about expire. The BBC's own BBCiPlayer app on android only uses this 128kbps HLS Listen Again content, and also only plays Live streams at 128kbps. I think the same applies to iThings, so you won't get the 320Kbps Radio3 Listen Again streams or even get the 320kbps Live streams. Complicated isn't it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ utgg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=40900 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103312 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
