With the Real Audio on-demand streams, we were able to pause, rewind and fast-forward the content. Will this still be possible with the new streams? If not, why is the BBC implementing another backwards step? Complain about this comment Comment number 3.
Alan - thanks for the very helpful explanations. Can you clarify that the intention is to get the mediaselector XML working as it did with RealAudio - i. My server is in the UK, so I've been banging my head against a brick wall for some time now wondering why I can't show international WMA stream URLs I just assumed you hadn't enabled them yet - now it all makes sense!
Also, I believe it was suggested some time ago that it might make sense to have an additional attribute within the mediaselector XML to clearly distinguish between UK and international feeds, as at the moment developers have to guess based on parsing the stream URL for known items such as differences between the server farms, or the presence of the phrase "uk" within the stream URL or suchlike, which is not ideal.
Finally, I presume all the RealAudio streams are still on schedule to roll over and die before March ? Andrew www. Complain about this comment Comment number 4. In general answer to your question the transport control functionality i. Complain about this comment Comment number 5. Alan, Can you post more details of the planned "overhaul" "At the moment the latter is done using our AODFeed which we'll be overhauling in the new year given the feedback we've received"?
If not here now Complain about this comment Comment number 6. Thanks for the update, Alan. Can the same not be done with the listen-again ASX files? Requiring a portal to perform geo-location should not be necessary, and having to offer a choice of UK or international URLs is crude. Complain about this comment Comment number 7. Thank you for finally enlightening internet radio listeners as to what you have been doing - it would have been nice to have had a warning that you would be testing in this way, as international listeners are in a spin.
If you look at the BBC iPlayer board, you will see that not only have internet radio listeners been unable to receive on-demand programmes via WMA, but that there are a lot of people who are unable to access BBC radio at all on their computers from abroad any more and have no idea of what is going on. But I am a complete techno-numpty, so it's not unlikely that I am missing a technical point here. Complain about this comment Comment number 8. Paul Webster - yes.
Will do - in fact, if you look to the public documentation for the AODFeed, you'll see that I've updated it with a warning. Once I know more I will update this, and probably blog post.
Dark-Avised - horrible reply from me on this one - "it's just not that simple! I set up the single request metafiles for live eg. In the new year we will be addressing this. If you compare with broadcast Digital Radio e. DAB where devices are tied to a broadcast method e. With Internet Radio which could be experienced on a computer or an Internet Radio devices the relationship is distant, with a third-party handling the experience that the listener has.
For example - you wouldn't expect the BBC to support the low-level hardware of an HP Laptop with Windows XP, but you would expect us to support the iPlayer website experienced through a common web browser - I do realise that comparison is somewhat superficial though, but it gives a flavour if the issues around on these platforms.
Complain about this comment Comment number 9. Thank you for replying, Alan, unfortunately, I didn't understand a word. Well, yes, I understood all the words individually, I just couldn't get a coherent meaning from them the way they were put together. Why did you feel you had to change from Real Player, anyhow? I'm a firm believer in "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and Real Audio was much more user-friendly and useful than this exceptionally annoying WMA stuff.
Complain about this comment Comment number I use my mobile a Nokia Symbian 5. I stream via Wifi when in the house and when out and about via 3G and can't imagine why you would replace something that works so well on mobiles with something that will only work with Microsft PCs. The iPlayer interface is also not useful for use on a mobile being so busy and focussed on T. I'd like to add my voice opposing the reliance on corporate products over open source ones.
I do not pay my licence fee so the BBC can shore up microsoft or adobe, having dumped real. And There need be no conflict between open source and DRM - just because the algorithm is known the key will remain secret, just like gpg encryption. I'm a linux user, and welcome the eventual availability of iplayer, but the principle of the furore over the windows-only solution is doomed tp be repeated without an open solution.
Does testing of the new streaming formats explain why Radio 4 disappears 'is not available at this time' on IPlayer on both the UK and international streams at 12 midnight UK time since about Jan 5th? I am an overseas listener when I live in Greece, and a uk listener and all-year-round licence payer when in the uk. Other BBC radio live, yes. Please do not sent through github. Send direct to email in comment above.
You are first 2 out of 24 so far that have not got emails to address in comment. NemoSciri that's weird, maybe its some kind of filter in my school's email.
Anyway I used a different email address this time, let me know if you've received it! NemoSciri I will send again, I sent the original e-mail to the above e-mail address not through here. I just sent it again and added the address to my address book to make sure it's there.
I am using gmail - could that be the problem? I ended up finding another e-mail and sent using that as well.. The other is from Outlook. Any chance you can add Channel 4? Sorry everyone. Much time since last post here and since I checked my email. I was travelling between countries and it took some time to get settled down and able to deal with this again, as I am sure you are aware this is a side project for me, so please excuse me.
I am replying to emails today, please check your inboxes. If you do not receive today, please email me again tomorrow as a reply to your current email thread. In regards to adding this, it is available on their website to UK residents on a UK IP address, limited to residential, etc. The difference is, the BBC links were static no token or changed key and the site of channel 4 is tokenised.
Please understand this doesn't mean I don't have or will not have, but that it will not be provided free as it is a complicated process to get around tokenism sites.
I do have for example the site requested but cannot provide it in the free open-source community as that would violate copyright protection laws that forbid decryption of source streams. NemoSciri , I would be interested if you could help me with such a request for channel4. I want to try setting up something here at home, so I can stream those channels from there to my hjoliday home in portugal. Can you help me with that? You set it up, then insert the playlist into it, and it generates a new link m3u playlist for you.
I am able to access the streams from wherever i want when I am traveling, with or without VPN. As for channel 4 and 5, i couldn't find a way to make those work, since the playlist format that they use is tokenized, unlike BBC's.
I tried that ans get error, Is there a tutorial on how to run this? These streams all work perfect, very easy to load, easiest way is to make an m3u playlist copy and paste all the text and streams into notepad then save as eg bbcstreams.
Or they saving bandwidth? Can't understand why they wants others not to watch the broadcast! Not BBC international, that's another Chanel. It's probably related to licensing of the broadcasted content. Does anyone know a VPN provider for these m3u8. I tried a few and with some of them i can open the iplayer on the bbc website, but not play these channels via VLC. Surfshark is one of the VPN Providers i tested.
First on a windows machine with the surfshark app and VLC. How do you play the m3u8. If i use a webbrowser, i can play the bbc channels on their website, but not with any mediaplayer.
I have tested surfshark and expressVPN. Both are blacklisted by BBC. Check out this video. Thx for the link. I also found some vserver offers where you can set up a openvpn server. The problem there might be that you have limited bandwidth. Your data will still be encrypted between your endpoint and your VPN server. The only difference is that, this way, the VPN server is "yours" so, all your traffic can me traced back to you or to whoever will own the server.
Working for me here with the northern ireland links. Yes as I said others are working, just not england and scorland ones, want the english ones. Apologies mate I thought you meant all links. I only tested NI ones. I wonder have they chanced their direct feed link? The links are fine. It's UK only residential IP and all work Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub , or unsubscribe. Have you tested them yourself? CBBC gone now, same as the other, " Bad Request" when trying to pull in the segments, the index is ok.
I have tried on a uk residential IP to. BBC have moved to. VLC won't play them anymore there are some. All streams except BBC South now dont work None are working for me now either. On my own home internet or via my phone's 4G network.
It's quite unfortunate as I used to be able to use all of them at our holiday home in Portugal. Looks like using iPlayer is the only option now. With a DNS service that bypasses the geo restrictions. I use a great one that also works with sky go. How do I run this on android, it just gives me an error I need help in creating an m3u for the sniffed links.
Unfortunately I find that all the links from joolzg fail. Most give Error Code Bad Request in that the streams listed within the files cannot be found. The files that end in. It's a mystery. It may be that some streams now only work with iPlayer? You could install it on android Kiwi browser and try that. I don't have a smartdns on my mobile so can't test whether it works in Australia but the extension installs.
I have about 30 news channels I can access on an Echo Show 5 and News. Quality looks less than SD but it will do me. Many thanks joolzg for the clarification. Curiously when I tried the.
Forgive my misunderstanding of the Mpeg Dash Files but I had never heard of these before but that will give me another area to explore. I'm new to the subject but have managed to get a working web page for my laptop with my favourite radio and TV links displaying perfectly using video-js and will move on from there. It appears that method won't be any good for the Dash Files which need players like Videolan to play them. What an interesting subject this is. I checked iPlayer again and there are no specific HD links, thats all they give, you could maybe check.
Hello… have you found it? Thank you for the links! Greetings from Germany. Cheers Ted. Some, perhaps all, of these streams are now playing a message just before the top of the hour saying they will stop working on 22 March Pushing people to use BBC Sounds. Such a shame to complicate things. On contacting the BBC they responded saying that as a cost-cutting exercise they are bringing the management of the streams in-house and that they are no longer making public the URLs, rather that they be managed by third-party service aggregators.
The BBC is not cost cutting. They are simply trying to force people onto their crappy app and I suppose they get additional tracking info they can sell.
I hope you can find a work around. It is a real pain to have to open a VNC to my music server and then open browsers and navigate when all I want to do is choose a radio station..
I still get the BBC message on the radio 4 link from the link above. Message was on my recording — at am. Where do we go from here? I also get the BBC message. These urls may be OK for listening live. In all cases that I heard the message it was from my recording of radio using streamripper. So I just did a test where I was listening to radio4 at via MPD while also recording radio4 via streamripper. So it looks like I need a different system for recording! Hopefully all will be clearer Monday.
It would probably help if more users were to complain to the BBC. I have done so but will be ignored if there are few others. The radio4 url from the new addresses link above worked fine 8am this morning with no message. So I asked how we escalate this to Ofcom. They may be waiting to see how many complaints they get. BBC shutdown all their feeds this morning. This is permanent. I think feeds are set to multicast and geo-blocked. One example:. I am using Pirate Radio from Pimoroni.
