No the ClassicFM server that stream AAC and MP3 doesn't support jumping to any position in a stream.

It is not in the stream. This URL is polled regulalry to get the info on what is "playing now" on ClassicFM. http://np.radioplayer.co.uk/qp/v3/events?rpId=256&descriptionSize=400&callback=radioplayer.playing.receiveNowNext bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105385 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

There are some very clever people around this forum, very supportive, and unsparing of their time. Added the repository, restarted SBS, and Classic FM v2 automatically appeared in the list of 'Active' plug-ins, with a tick in its checkbox. So, on installation, it seems to find the old plug-in, remove it, and install itself. Checked its 'settings' and 128kbps MP3 is ticked. Switched on the SB Touch, selected - Internet Radio - Classic FM v2 - Listen again - Nick Bailey's Hall of Fame transmission from Monday Saint Saens Organ Symphony. A perfect baptism for the plug-in. Simply brilliant. The family think so, too. So, the feedback here is that installation and operation seem ok. I did fail to get Squeezeplay (on W Vista) to work with it - that was my first test while I was still at my desk. (But Squeezeplay here uses a much slower downlink than the Touch and SBS do (512kbps, not normally used for Internet Radio) so it may actually have been working, but simply failing to receive its data promptly enough. Squeezeplay just displayed 'Connecting' for around 4 mins. I'll check that again in the morning, when that link is usually giving faster response times, it's a pretty poor response right now so I don't think it means there's an issue with Squeezeplay and the plug-in.) Skipping would be good especially on long programmes such as Classic FM. Skipping is handy if we're interrupted and, perhaps, have to stop listening and switch off. Later, or the next day, it would be good to skip through to the start again of the piece, which could easily be 90 mins or so after the beginning of the programme and would save waiting for an hour or so to pass before being able to begin to hear the piece again. Are you thinking that skipping might be possible on the 128MP3 Listen Again stream? On live broadcasts, ClassicFM's website shows what specific piece is playing. Do you think that information is also encoded in the (live) stream? Or is the 'What's Playing' information only sort of 'This is Nick Bailey on Classic FM', ie, static throughout the programme? Tides ebb, and flow, but it's risen fast, today. regards, Atlantic Atlantic's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105385 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Classic FM [UK] - connects at 128, drops to 48
The original ClassicFM plugin was tied to BBCiPlayer to Flash support. However Flash is being retired and there is a need to break link of ClassicFM plugin and BBCiPlayer as the the sites are going in different directions as it looks like BBC have now stopped using Flash for Radio. I have created a new version of ClassicFM plugin - V2.0 with No screen scraping and no Flash. The menu has * live stream at 128k MP3 * live stream at 48kb AAC. * Listen Again Listen Again lists all the shows that are currently available. ClassicFM seems to use streamed MP4 (48kbit AAC codec) as the default for Apps. Streamed MP4 supports skipping ahead / back. However undocumented ClassicFM seems to also supports MP3 at 128kb and AAC at 48kb but without skipping. Plugin is set to use MP3 128kb on installation. I'm not sure if this plugin is of interest but if it is then perhaps next version could add 1. Proper support for stream Mp4 with skipping 2."what's playing now " with image for Live streams. To install the plugin - add this repository link below to the repositories at the bottom of LMS Settings/Plugins page. The ClassicFM v2 line should appear in a new 3rd party repsoitory at the bottom of Settings/Plugins. Install ClassicFM v2 as per any othe rplugin. http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/bpaplugins/classicfm-repo.xml bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105385 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] My favourite radio station does not work anymore
Good morning All and thanks for the great job you do every day!!! I have a Squeezebox radio and I have the same problem as depicted above, I cannot listen to the Italian Network Radio Deejay. I tried to follow the instructions step by step but somehow it failed. I installed all the latest plugins and inserted manually the url (with ths iplayer suffix) but when I select it from the Radio it shows empty. I tried to search the Radio via TuneIn but it doesn't exist and even if I select Radio Deejay from my account's favourite list, it says stream not compatible. I don't know what is wrong. What if I modify the opml.menu of the BBC by adding the Radio Deejay url? I will appreciate any kind of help!
