OK. I managed to contact a guy at the BBC (Jim Simmons) in charge of
audio delivery asking about the problem with several AAC streams going
quiet on Triode's BBC applet. Apparently the AAC streams were delivered
via the same infrastructure as the WMA ones so they are going to be
discontinued also. However, there will be streams of up to 320 kb/s
available in the HLS and DASH formats. These are being provided by Audio
Factory, along with the new MP3 streams.

Now, after tinkering about with LMS I have installed bpa's iPlayer
plug-in and now have the missing AAC streams back again, the slight snag
is that the SBT can only see this plugin when connected to my LAN, so I
need the computer on to use it. But this has got me wondering - does
bpa's plug-in access the new Audio Factory high quality streams? If so,
then perhaps Triode can also do some tinkering with his BBC applet as
well so that the Squeezebox platform will be compatible with the new BBC
system?

If it's OK I will get back to Jim and point him in the direction of this
forum as it would be good to get this more integrated into the Squeezbox
platform.

Regards,
Nick
