BBC Radio via Volumio

[Nic Robinson]

Recently Auntie Beeb in her wisdom has rendered all but one of the radio streams I had been enjoying through my pi/Volumio obsolete. The only survivor is the very wonderful "hd" Radio 3 one:

However, this page has a bunch that work for now, if anyone has been frustrated by the changes. Here are some:

Thanks for posting the R3 URL, the one I had been using had indeed stopped working.

But the one I use for R4 still appears to work for me, and to show a 'HD' bitrate in Volumio: http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/liv...cast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_fourfm.m3u8

Edit: Damn, now the R3 one seems to have stopped working. R4 one still fine though.

Do you mean the one in the lower list or the one at the top: http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediasel...-aac-lc-a/format/pls/vpid/bbc_radio_three.pls ?

It's ok here at present.

I meant the upper one, the HD stream. Strangely enough it started working again for me too shortly after I'd posted, but I was busy working and couldn't come back to post. So all good.
