Broadcasters are being offered a whole range of new streaming methods -

*DASH Dynamic Streaming over HTTP - non propriety
*HLS  Apple's adaptive delivery over HTTP (Live Streaming) - which the
BBC are using
*HSS  Microsoft's HTTP Smooth Streaming
*HDS  Adobe's HTTP Dynamic Steaming

I guess the BBC have selected HLS for now - as most? users listening to
the radio are doing it through phones iOS & newer Androids + apps.  In
any case, that appears to be their decision for now.  Personally I find
the MP3 streams give more drop outs  than the AAC had been (which never
dropped out) but at least enabled devices of any vintage to operate
again.  Ah we also lost Radio DNS with the loss of a working Triode
plugin.  However here is my question to anyone who knows!

There is an excellent plugin for the LMS, that allows you to access the
HLS streams on the Squeeze box radio, but it needs you to run LMS, which
I don't normally.  There is enough hardware in the  **** radio to work
with the standard standalone***.  However..... 

Logitech won't be doing this? (I doubt it)?  
It also cannot be done through a LUA applet?  Is that the case? 
So the only way to do this is through a firmware upgrade and only
Logitech are able to do that.....
