Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] BBC and Napster problems

2010-04-22 Thread starkhart

That seems to be doing the trick - thank you very much!
It's a great facility, by the way - really makes the Radio come into
its own for me.  Now if I can just get Napster going I will be
extremely happy...

There is a new version of the BBCRadio applet which should help with
playing live streams when WMA streams is no selected.  Please go to
the applet installer menu and upgrade the applet.

Thanks for that.  I'm not convinced it's related to those problems
though as this has been going on for a few days now.  At least I have a
way of using listen again, I guess.

Don't suppose you have any idea on the Napster issue?  My free 30 days
trial is ticking down and i haven't used it yet.

If you look back over forum postings - some users find the WMA streams
more reliable than the AAC and vice versa - as streaming is
decentralised there are regional variations.

I can't offer any help about Napster since the service is not available
to me.

Yes I am in the UK - I was wondering if the radio somehow thinks I'm
elsewhere (the weather applet appeared to think I was in Germany).

I get full BBC menus for 'listen again' and I can play Live streams
through the applet.

Aha. I hadn't noticed this before.

It was set to allow WMA streams.  I turned this off and could then play
'listen again' files.

However, I could only pay live streams if I turned WMA back on. Is that
how it's supposed to work? Seems a bit of an effort each time I want to
listen again...

The BBC seems to having problems with live stream today - look at the
forums for other posts. Fore me - outside the UK R4 sounded like it was
underwater on AAC but played OK on WMA.

Usually you can use either AAC or WMA depending on your location and
possibly signal strength and then stcik with it but BBC problems can
also change the mix.
