Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
I have installed iPlayer 0.9beta2 on my Windows 7.3.3 SC and disabled all AAC file types options but faad/flac. I am finding usage of the main BBC stations quite flaky on my Controller (controlling an SB3). Some live streams connect some of the time and some don't some of the time (Controller reports Connecting). There appears to be no pattern that I can see. Whether the stream happens to connect or not appears random. However, when streams do connect the connection time is quite short. Also, sometimes I have to go up a menu level (or even two) before I can connect to another live stream (and sometimes not). The only constant is that BBC Asian Radio sounds like a very bad AM transmission. BTW. How can I verify that I am actually receiving high quality AAC streams as WAV?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
I think somne of those connection problems are related to SC - in an earlier Triode post - he says that he had to put a patch into 7.4 to fix one connection issue. Not sure about the WAV point - the audio format is AAC which is transcdoed into Flac to be played by the player. If you check the running processes you should see faad running when an AAC stream is being decoded. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
I've put a beta test version of BBCiPlayer which plays the AAC live and on demand streams in my beta repo. If you are interested in these streams please try this out and let me know how you get on. Add the following link to extension downloader / plugins additional repos: http://triodeplugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/testrepo.xml Then install via the web page. Please note that you need to ensure that FAAD/FLAC is the only selected aac decode under settings/advanced/file types. The one known issue I have is that for live streams, sometimes the server can cache the stream information which means the stream won't play. For the moment return to the BBCiPlayer top level menu and then navigate to the stream again. I would be interested in reports of success on windows and mac as most of my testing has been on linux. [I gave up waiting for the BBC to make the AAC streams available direct, so this plugin includes an implementation of the RTMP protocol for SqueezeCenter.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
Managed to test 0.9beta1 on Windows XP/7.3.3. Everything works except direct change from one live channel to another and similar for listen again streams. Every instance of directly changing failed and had to go to iPlayer top level menu and back each time. I noticed too on the original beta that it reverts to WMA on World Service - very nifty. Might be worth adding a caveat for the general release that streams cannot be saved to Favorites (in Now Playing or on the Server UI) just to avoid unnecessary failure reports.

I certainly am. I would love your plug-in to be able to do this. Would the flvstreamer license preclude it being included as part of an extension downloader plug-in?

I've posted on their forums at various times over the last few months but they seem to want to keep the quality in the Flash streams. A bit of a conundrum as more than often the PC's they're targeting don't have high quality audio replay devices attached. To paraphrase the BBC's main man - he doesn't care how we listen as long as we listen. Those people on the audiophile board might be interested too. -- ian_heys ian_heys's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2629 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
Would the flvstreamer license preclude it being included as part of an extension downloader plug-in? Didn't bpa have faad in one of his before it was included with Squeezecenter? I don't recall including faad in any plugin - at various times I have built versions of mplayer / faad for testing to be used with either with plugins such as AlienBBC, AACplus or SC. A couple of years ago mplayer could not be included in AlienBBC because - RealAudio support was provided using RealNetworks libraries which could only be legally used if the user installed the libraries themselves and not bundled in with other apps. This changed when mplayer wrote their own RealAudio codec. - the mplayer license did not allow re-distribution of mplayer binaries. As I see it, the flvstreamer legal considerations include: - Does flvstreamer infringe any Adobe rights. - Does flvstreamer meet of the license conditions of Boxee/XMBC who provide the core library. - Does the flvstreamer author provide a license so that the binary can be re-distributed. - If flvstreamer is included in a plugin - could litigation be brought against the Plugin author either by Adobe, BBC or others. There may be a more practical issue for a user to find the right binary of flvstreamer ready built. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
Forgot one point. Another driver for AAC support is that soon BBC will be providing Flash/AAC stream for the Regional and Local radio. Currently these stations are only available in RealAudio (i.e. no WMA or MP3 alternatives). -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Sorry bpa my misunderstanding. License issues noted.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
Better audio quality is always a good thing A couple of questions about the AAC streams: * Would you still be able to FFW/Pause/RWD the programs? *Would it be possible to include the 'Schedule' and 'Categories' menu as per the iPlayer website? Keep up the excellent work, it really is appreciated. -- mick_w http://www.ulverston.myzen.co.uk/mini-itx/ mick_w's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=6526 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
* Would you still be able to FFW/Pause/RWD the programs? I did a little bit of checking into flvstreamer capabilities. I don't think flvstreamer supports starting a stream at a specified time - which is the basis for ffw and rew. I think flvstreamer has some facility to start a specific point in a stream which may be usable but I didn't do enough checking to see how the start point value can be easily translated into elapsed time. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
I am really hoping the bbc would provide these streams in aac over http as it would make life much easier.. Support for playing live and listen again streams looks quite viable. What I don't have is fwd/rew as there are a few issues with this - it requires getting the stream length and also a mechanism to restart the stream which needs reparsing of the meta data xml to get new stream details too as they are not valid for more than a few second. -- Triode Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
I've been looking at a couple of experimental ways of streaming the BBC Flash Player AAC streams to my Squeezebox. Here are the details. Experiment 1 Developed here http://heysfamily.matt-heys.co.uk/get_iplayer Experiment 2 Developed by Phil Lewis http://linuxcentre.net/ (see the post of 22nd July. Both stream the high quality AAC streams as WAV to the squeezebox and can select the BBC streams from the Squeezebox menu. -- ian_heys ian_heys's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2629 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Experimental BBC AAC/Flash Streams in WAV
I've been playing with a modified version of iPlayer to do the same thing for live and listen again. It needs a bit more work, but are people interested if they need to download and install the helper app (flvstreamer) themselves? -- Triode Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65897 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
