Twas indeed me...

I'm still working on it - I'll try a bit harder now there's a new
version.

I've even had a workshop built in my factory so I can bugger about with
stuff like this - but that only got finished last week.

I get on it (properly) asap.

I might also make 3D printed ones - the process will be faster - then
I'll product aluminium versions.

That was the plan.

Tony.

I'll take 2 of these Philippe. Nice work!

Is there anything you want doing with the cases or do you have it in
hand?

Regards
Tony

Thanks again - I've now removed my wife's BBC R1 favourite and replaced
it with the BBC Sounds R1.

An instant advantage of this (not to mention the ability to go back in
time!) is the fact that it now displays the actual song name/programme
name - which isn't the case with the standard BBC plugin.

It's been bugging me for years - why have I waited so long!!! 

Cheers
Tony

Thanks - already use the BBC Sounds Plugin actually, didn't realise you
can play live stations through it? I've always used the BBC plugin for
that.

I need to update my info line too - I'm past 8.0.0 (can't actually
remember which one as I'm at work)

I'll have a fiddle tonight.

:-)

[slim] BBC ending Shoutcast stream

2022-11-04 Thread merlineng


Hi all

My wife works from home and listens to BBC R1 endlessly (I mean really
endlessly - we have a constant Spotty/Radio battle!)

She's just rang me to say that an announcement came over the radio
stating that the stream will end in mid 2023.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/help/questions/recent-changes-to-bbc-sounds/shoutcast-closure

And it appears she is correct.

Is there anything we can do about this?

I've got many squeezeboxes at home and at work so this would be very
problematical.

Cheers
Tony
