Even on the desktop, only Radio 3 streams live at 320k. The desktop streams use Adobe HDS - not HLS - in order to feed the in-browser Flash player. HLS must be part of an "if you build it, they will come" strategy, though as you point out it's not yet clear who "they" are. > I had been under the impression that at least I could use an iThingy and > Airplay a 320kbps stream to my Hi-Fi. The BBC iOS applications don't use 320k streams, even for Radio 3. You would hope that will change in the near future, but after recent events who can say? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ilainftw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64122 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103312 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
