I didn't do much chasing up besides the fact that
Slim::UTils::Scanner::Remote had parsed the stream type as ogf which
seems to be implemented in a few places within LMS but I never followed
up why ogf streams don't play.

After hearing that Chris Evans was going back to Absolute Radio I
thought I would try the FLAC streams. They all work fine but there is no
metadata. In fact they do not seem to provide metadata for the aac
streams either, not even a station logo. Very strange.

It's odd that LMS can't parse the .m3u file.
It can manage it fine for mp3

I don't have to hand but it's easy to find.
Open up the stream defined in Absolute Radio Links page in VLC.
In VLC right click on the Stream Title and open the "Information" Tab.
At the bottom of the "information page/general tab" you will see a
"Location" showing the true URI of the network
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...
To my ears it sounds better than it's previous iterations but it has
stuttered on occassions.

If you put the URI into VLC it plays and you can look at the codec tab
and see that it is indeed the FLAC stream.

I can get Absolute Radio Noughties on this URL:
http://icecast-beta.timlradio.co.uk/absoluteradio00s.ogg
Derived from the VLC information page.
However the Sixties stream seems to be the same.
Is that correct?

I just received an email from Absolute Radio saying that the FLAC links

don't work on my 3 SB3s and LMS 7.9.0. Here are the FLAC URLs for
anyone that is interested..

Well that settles that one then!
Thanks all for your help. I have emailed Absolute Radio - I have any

Well SB3 cannot do ogg flac native which means it will be transcoding.
You could enable player.source logging to INFO to determine what is
happening / failing when trying to play the stream.

I upgraded to 7.9.0 and as you say the Ogg Flac filetypes are there.
FLAC->flac/fac, and Ogg FLAC->Native.
Just checked.
1. LMS 7.9.* has ogg Flac setup as type 'ogf'
2. This post seems to indicate what you need to do but it was for 7.8
and it may already be done in 7.9
