Re: [newbie] BBC Streaming OGG - FYI
On Wednesday 24 April 2002 10:31 am, Sevatio offered this for consideration: Here's an email I received from the BBC: We've managed to get another encoder up and running, so you can get your daily fix of teeny boppy all-sound-the-same tunes coming from Radio 1 in sparkly ogg format at http://support.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/oggurl/radio1_high.ogg.m3u http://support.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/oggurl/radio1_low.ogg.m3u but for the people with taste, we've kept the 6music stream running at http://support.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/oggurl/6music.ogg.m3u and will hopefully get a 64kbit stream of that running sometime today. Have fun :-) ~~ Thanks again (late I know, but.) for the links. The 6music link is invalid (at least from here) unless you modify it. This link: http://support.bbc.co.uk/cgi-bin/oggurl/6music_high.ogg.m3u works though. Doesn't seem to be as high priority as the other channel since the avg. bit rate for me is around 120 kbits/sec. Acceptable though for listening. -- Charlie in Edmonton, AB, Canada Mandrake 8.2 user 244963 at http://counter.li.org 2:49pm up 3 days, 18:15, 2 users, load average: 0.17, 0.23, 0.21 If you do your best the rest of the way, that takes care of everything. When we get to October 2, we'll add up the wins, and then we'll either all go into the playoffs, or we'll all go home and play golf. Both those things sound pretty good to me. -- Sparky Anderson Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Possibly quite soon - there's a Radio 4 comments programme ('Feedback')
on which, almost every week, there are comments about the quality of
streaming video and/or audio and technical people explaining what's
going on in response.
I know the BBC was experimenting with Microsoft Media Player for some
time as it isn't satisfied with Real, but it seems from this that Ogg
Vorbis is the way things are going (as the BBC is a public service
organisation, by charter, it's possible someone realised that there
would be no licencing fees to pay and, in particular, that streams
could be accessed by as many operating systems as possible :)
