:( Looks like I can't please all of the people all of the time.... The new version uses the native aac streams for all live streams which exist. So this means Radio 3 is a native aace stream, but Radio 3 HD is flash/aac as this is all it is available as. At present it looks like both get the same aac stream, but I left the HD one on the menu as I am not sure if things will change. I suspect the live streams at 128k and higher outside of the uk is not what is intended, but I have used the urls required by the BBC so it is up to them to decide what bitrate they want for users... Be warned though that the bitrates may reduce if the BBC decide to impose differential quality for users outside the uk on these streams. I need to think about the case of transcoded vs native streams it may be that we can resolve this with yet another preference.... -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
