I can confirm that for the last week I have been having trouble
streaming Radio 4 - Radio 7 OK - got it working by switching backwards
and forwards from Radio 7 to 4.
This morning it would not work at all. Tried researching for it made no
difference
help ?
Many Thanks

If the problem is with dns entries for the wma servers then you could
try the FlashAAC streams from the iPlayer plugin or BBC Radio applet.

Yup - this did the trick for me.
Many thanks Triode (and also - it goes without saying - thanks for the
app!)

With increasing regularity, when I attempt to listen to BBC Radio 4 FM,
via my own server, either via iPlayer or the 'BBC' app in MyApps, it
doesn't connect. If I select Radio 4 LW instead, it's fine.
I'm not sure that it's to do with the time of day (i.e.
demand-related); although it is

Have you tried seeing whether the format AAC vs WMA makes a difference.
IF there is no difference then it is probably some sort of network issue
(e.g. DNS caching). If there is a difference and then it is probably a
local BBC server/network issue - these can affect users
Both AAC and MP3 use Flash as Transport so I expect their service to be
similar. I think WMA may use a different set of servers/network
connections.
You need to check BBC iPlayer web behaviour before you complain. I
think BBC iPlayer to be the reference service and it uses AAC by
default.
I got bored with the BBC repeatedly breaking the Radio 4 FM stream. I've
gone back to using the WaveInput plugin and a DAB radio plugged into my
server again.
Thankfully they seem to manage to break iPlayer less often than the
live stream.

Yes, it will. Yes, all of them. Yes,
I've had a similar problem with Radio4FM late at night and even early
morning (2am-ish) on a Touch with BBCiPlayer app.
As you say, the Radio4LW stream will connect straight away, and
sometimes 4FM will connect on a 2nd attempt.
