Hi. Here in the UK, I can quite happily listen to BBC5 Live Sports
Extra via the Internet, through my PC.
However, trying to tune in to the same programme via my Squeezebox I
merely get a recorded due to rights restrictions this program cannot be
received message.
I guess this must be to do
Not sure if it works through the country you entered on mysqueezebox
.com - but worth checking it is correct

THis is due to geo ip locking and playing the WMA stream for 5LIve.
There are a number of workaround but first some info is needed.
What type of player are you using ?
Which menu/app are you using to play 5live ?

Are you referring to some radio streams that offer that versus some
that do not? Or are you referring to things like My Music (mp3, etc.)
streams which do versus radio streams that do not?...
Only referring to internet streams, local music is different.

I have an SBTouch and listen to 5LSE on a regular basis. I just found
the station in the list of BBC programmes and added it. I'm listening to
TMS as we speak!

It uses this url...
Thanks bpa.
My radio is a Logitech Squeezebox: Firmware version: 7.7.2 r9963 (which
is the latest) Hardware version: 5
and, from the SB menu, I selected:
Internet Radio/Sports/More sports and teams/Stations(+25)/BBC Radio 5
livesports extra (UK)
Thanks StridingEdge.
I tried that link

Just to clarify - that URL was taken from my touch settings and that it
needs no further intervention from me to enable the stream to work. I
didn't mean that it was the URL for listening via the internet on a PC.
If it doesn't work for you then I suspect it is as others have mentioned
With a Radio or Touch, the URL stridingedge ghave should work for you -
you need to add it as a Favorite from the mysqueezebox.com web page and
then play from the Favorite menu on the Radio/Touch. I suggest using the
following version of the URL as it removes some Stridingedge specific
details
Folks, that's great, REALLY helpful some positive stuff for me to
have a go at.
I will get back to you at the weekend to let you know how I got on.
Once again, many many thanks - v.much appreciated.
and very much the positive side of the web coming through!! : )
Best Regards.
Depending on the station, and I am listening to streams found via
internet radio search ranging from local to faraway NPR stations as well
as various AM stations, I can get anywhere from 30 seconds of buffer to
literally 7 or more minutes (All of LA Woman and more.)
This is a terrible behavior.
I had a similar problem a long time ago and found if I used a crossover
cable between the powerline adapter and the squeezebox it worked. In the
end I put a switch in as I had more than my squeezebox to plugin.

I'm not arguing with your feature request. I can see merit to it
working either way but in the short term have you tried using power
on/off? After turning it back on just hit play.
The workaround I use is to change to a different station and then come
back to the station I
Hold the pause button pressed for 2 seconds to stop the stream.
