Hi
I am trying to get the FLAC streams from Absolute radio to work on a new
Windows 10 Pro desktop with LMS 7.7.5. The lower quality URLs work, such
as AAC+ 128k:
http://network.absoluteradio.co.uk/core/audio/aacplus/live.pls?service=achq
But the corresponding Ogg Flac stream does nothing:
I just received an email from Absolute Radio saying that the FLAC links
have just been restored. And indeed they now work in VLC, but they still
don't work on my 3 SB3s and LMS 7.9.0. Here are the FLAC URLs for
anyone that is interested..

Sure that works, but I don't think it is the FLAC stream that we are
trying to get to work..
My apologies - it is FLAC. Have no idea where you got this stream from -
do you have the Absolute Rock stream by any chance?
Frankly it still doesn't sound great. I guess they do some sort of sound
processing with all the streams...
Great - all working. Thanks very much!

I upgraded to 7.9.0 and as you say the Ogg Flac filetypes are there.
FLAC->flac/fac, and Ogg FLAC->Native.

Ah, im using 3 SB3s, can try VLC later. But in general I want to use the
SB3s..
Well that settles that one then!
Thanks all for your help. I have emailed Absolute Radio - I have any

Hi - I live in central London and there are quite a few routers in
range. I have two routers, both running 2.4 and 5GHz signals on 4
different SSIDs. My SB3 doesn't see any of them! Obviously I don't
expect it to see the 5GHz signals.
- if i manually type in the SSID into the SB3 then it

It's currently 10 feet away with no walls in between. It's picking up

My WiFi SB3 occasionally stops, clicks, or makes odd noises. The obvious
answer is this is a networking problem but I'd be surprised since LMS is
