RE: [backstage] BBC News and other stuff not streaming online in WMP any more?
Quoting Gareth Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: If you do a 'view source' on the pop up player windows in Radio iPlayer you'll see the URLs for Windows Media, Real and Flash streams all embedded in the source code if they are available. The World Service has no plans to drop the narrowband Windows Media and Real Media streams. BTW: The two World Service streams you mention on your webpage are the core news network that provides only news programming, and a second network which is (currently) based roughly on the European English network that provides a mixture of News, Documentary and Entertainment programming minus any rights restricted content. The World Service stream linked to from iPlayer is based on the schedule used on the UK digital networks, and so is a third different stream of our content. We know it is confusing, and we are working on it. -- Gareth Davis | Production Systems Specialist World Service Future Media, Digital Delivery Team Part of BBC Global News Division * http://www.bbcworldservice.com/ * 702NE Bush House, Strand, London, WC2B 4PH Cheers for your reply :) My site doesn't get much traffic but I'm always one for being as complete as possible in listings... If you have a definitive list of stream URLs available at some point in the future, please send 'em over. I still use the site for listening to radio on an ad-hoc basis, and the radio streams still appear to be up and readily streaming (yay)! However, I did already check the iplayer streaming page for BBC News and unfortunately there just doesn't seem to be an alternative stream URL there - so can I/we assume from this notable absence of any fallback streaming method that BBC News now streams solely in FLV? It'd be a great shame if this is so.

Its all creative commons licenced, so feel free to share and take apart the high rez wav version for summaries, etc. http://blip.tv/file/get/Bbc_backstage-BBCBackstageInterviewWithJonathanSchwartzCEOOfSunMicros417.mp3 - Mpeg3 version http://blip.tv/file/get/Bbc_backstage-BBCBackstageInterviewWithJonathanSchwartzCEOOfSunMicros368.ogg - Ogg Vorbis version http://blip.tv/file/get/Bbc_backstage-BBCBackstageInterviewWithJonathanSchwartzCEOOfSunMicros789.wav - WAV version Enjoy - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
