OK this morning LMS prompted me to restart because plugins had been
updated (never tells me which ones). After this, live BBC radio wouldn't
play, but the 'listen

So, it plays the correct UK url.

The mysb.com server is not in the UK and
Thanks.
Got a workaround:
I set the LMS server to a fixed address and changed the dns-nameserver
to 8.8.8.8
Tunein BBC wma streams now working!

Over the last 24 hrs all the BBC national channels fail to play - the
station info appears on screen but there's no sound. Can others confirm
this?
On Tunein site the channels fail to play also, but a message appears
saying the channel is not available at the moment.

6music and R4 play OK for me but I'm outside UK and so Tunein plays
48kbps WMA format.

I think that's the problem - the streams are wma format (which have
never played on my setup!). I think previously they were AAC - but seem
to have changed format ...

The Tune-in URL used to have options about which formats to return.
Perhaps (because of adding metadata)

Perhaps (because of adding metadata) they are limtiing BBC to WMA and
perhaps the BBC geo-ip lock is messing things up (e.g. Tune-in is not in
UK and so it will get a non UK WMA URL which cannot be played from

Okay - thanks. So, you confirm that the issue is with Tunein no longer
offering AAC?
I don't know if Tune-in ever offered AAC on BBC but if you try adding
formats=aac,wma to the Tune-in URL only WMA URls are returned
Is there a list of overseas wma stream urls anywhere?
Thanks for the info. I wanted to set up a couple of favourites for BBC
5 and BBC 4 - guess I could do that just as easily via iPlayer plugin.
I switched to mysb,com and when I play the tunein favourite there then
it plays wma okay. Think there must be a gremlin in my lms server setup
which is

They did; I have been getting AAC from the BBC via TuneIn for at least
the past few years. I just checked and confirmed that I'm now getting
WMA.

I've reinstalled lms - still can't get wma to play on Touch. If I
switch Touch to mysb.com then the wma streams play.

After a lot of reconfiguring, testing with vpn, etc. I give up on this

There's no way the BBC wma streams will play on my system - consistently
getting 'Connection reset by local host'.

Are you using a proper VPN or one with a smart DNS to make it appear
as if
Okay - using te beebotron url for Radio 4:
Native dns - plays via VLC
True vpn - plays via VLC
smart dns - fails to play via VLC
With LMS - fails to play with all the above settings - I rebooted the
LMS server for each of the settings.

LMS has a two stage analysis or URLS/playlist and perhaps it is not
using your DNS (IIRC years ago openDNS was used) - perhap you should
check by enabling logging for network.asyncdns
A workaround may be to avoid playlist and minimise DNS lookups by using
the real BBC URLs
BBC has many WMA

Ah - but the streams work if I play on VLC using PC with vpn.
Is there a way to force LMS to use the openDNS address? My system is
set-up to use smart dns via the router.

What is the MMS url which VLC is playing ( I think you need to go into
Tools menu to find it)
As a control point the URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/r4.asx does
not play for me on LMS or VLC but the mms url
