So being UK based I should be able to get all my BBC content using the iPlayer plugin right? Thoughsince I'm streaming to a SB3 then transcoding still need to be done from AAC as it always did from RealAudio. But then there's mp3 right? That should play natively, but how would I choose this over the AAC streams an is it the same quality? Still a bit confused. -- rickwookie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rickwookie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6397 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
