Re: [slim] Classic FM HD Audio?

2019-05-01 Thread Owen Smith


Did anyone get anywhere with LMS playing Classic FM HD? I have now found
someone that claims to have worked out the magic urls, but they change
with time. If I knew anything about writing perl and LMS plugins I'd
look at it myself. Anyway his blog entry is below, but you have to ask
for the url details he hasn't posted them.

I had a quick look at captured network packets with the Android Classic
FM App with HD turned on. I guess it is using shoutcast/icecast at
192kbps aac, as I see the following stuff around the start of what I
assume is the playing stream:

Code:

Content-Type: audio/aac
  icy-br:192
  ice-audio-info: ice-samplerate=44100;ice-bitrate=192;ice-channels=2
  icy-br:192
  icy-description:Classic FM
  icy-genre:Classical
  icy-name:Classic FM
  icy-private:0
  icy-pub:1
  icy-url:http://www.classicfm.com/classicfm
  Server: Icecast 2.3.3-kh11



The uri used is very long with long 'listenerid', 'hdauth' and 'skey'
strings in there, plus a playerid (ClassicAndroidAppV4). Not sure if it
would be feasible to get the appropriate authorisation working in an LMS
plugin.

There's an HD on/off slider in the app on my iPad.

Re: [slim] Classic FM HD Audio?

2016-10-27 Thread ian_heys

Installed the App on my android phone this morning and started playing
the Aled Jones programme.

Within a few minutes he mentioned that the App was live and that I could
listen to the current tune in "Wide, Expansive HD Audio" but it doesn't
show anywhere on the app.
I'm not normally an ear bud listener and find it difficult to compare
and there's nowhere to show what the encoding is. So non the wiser.

I suspect it is the same as BBC definition ( 
http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/radio/other/radio_hd_sound )
320kbps AAC-LC probably using DASH or HLS as this is "easier" to
broadcast.

No. I can't find anything on the Classic FM website or elsewhere as to
what they actually mean.

Any idea what they actually mean by "HD"?

Well I'm listening to Classic FM HD with the iPad app on my Air2, but I
can't really say it sounds any better. But then I'm listening on the
Air2's builtin speakers which sound pretty rubbish anyway.

I'm sure there is but I need to register to play HD streams and it looks
like it is a UK only service.

[slim] Classic FM HD Audio?

2016-10-26 Thread Owen Smith

My Classic FM iOS App updated today. It claims to support new HD audio.
I can't find anything on their web site that says what this actually is.
But anyway, is there a way to play this with LMS?
