The older players (SB2,SB3, Transporter, Boom) can play WMA and MP3 native streams. The new players SB Radio, Touch can also play AAC/AAC+ streams.
The Flash based streams have an extra wrapper which currently requires BBCiPlayer to unwrap it and deliver the AAC or MP3 which can be played natively. My current understanding - I am outside the UK so please correct. UK LISTENERS. Live National radio - WMA, RealAudio with normal URLs. Regional Radio (Scotland, Foyle. Cymru etc) - RealAudio but will also be available in Flash/AAC There are also MP3 streams but need BBciPlayer to play. There is also Flash/AAC - again needs BBCiPlayer to play. Listen Again - Realaudio and Flash/AAC and I think Flash/MP3 Local radio live Realaudio but soon in Flash/AAC. Local radio Listen Again - only Flash/AAC NON UK LISTENERS. All speeds are 48kbps and so all AAC streams use AAC+. Live National streams - RealAudio, WMA and Flash/AAC which needs BBCiPlayer. Listen Again - RealAudio and Flash/AAC. Local radio live Realaudio but soon in Flash/AAC. Local radio Listen Again - only Flash/AAC Tp play RealAudio streams - all player must use the AlienBBC plugin. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=67455 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
