Version 0.9a is now available which contains two minor changes:
1) It detects if your server supports aac and if not falls back to
wma/mp3
2) It provides better support for presets on 7.4
As per discussion above. If you want to override 1) and always use the
non aac streams, then disable aac deco

Thanks Triode - this sounds just the job, and I agree it would

Thanks. Having been a very happy user of 7.3.3 since I upgraded to Snow
Leopard yesterday, I'm clearly ignorant of a lot of the new features in
both iPlayer and 7.4!

If you are using the latest 7.4, then to set the presets go the the

I'm using a Mac. I guess anything's going to be slower than the almost
"instant on" that I'm used to. Although to be fair, the "favourites"

testing after I hit that issue and quickly reverted back to 0.7.

The start up time for trascoding is slower on a windows server than a

If you want to use wma streams for live streaming, then you could also

Understood - thanks.
I would personally prefer if we had the option to choose streams in
future versions - since I generally listen to "talk" stations (Five Live
and Sports Extra) the super fast startup time is of much greater value
than slightly better audio quality. Of course, those that listen
0.7 uses WMA for the live streams, 0.9 uses FlashAAC which are
potentially better quality but may take longer to start up due to
additional transcoding.
Favorite issues for 0.9 should be fixed with 7.4 when it is released.
I will look at falling back to wma if aac can't be played for live

0.7 works great for me. I take back what I said about radio startup
taking less than 2 seconds - it's less than 1! :)
Using 0.9 had caused me problems with favourites, but also took much
longer to start playing the radio stream, and occasionally failed when
trying. Forgive my ignorance - I don't

You should try a Mac Mini - reportedly uses less than 13 Watts, and
mine is almost silent ;)

Yet it was the very "low-powered" feature that attracted me to the NAS -

Low power ain't always a bad thing - it may even be the future.
Couldn't there be an option
Transcoding should work fine on leopard / snow leopard. Its only low
powered nas's which don't have the cpu power to transcode. Can you try
the aac stream Bryan posted above to prove whether that plays when you
add it into the tune in entry on the web home page.

I have the same issue - having just upgraded to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, I
thought the problem was related to that. I must have updated from an
older version of iPlayer to 0.9 without realising.
The ability to use favourites is a killer feature on the Boom. It means

I think on 0.4 you were listening to the MP3 streams not the AAC. The
main point to recent updates to iPlayer was to get access to the better

I don't think there is AAC support on ReadyNas - the BBC streams need to
be transcoded and I think the ReadyNas is not powerful enough to do it.
Check WebUI Settings/FileTypes/ AAC - if they are all greyed out then
there is no support.

You don't need to remember the WMA URLs. The WMA URLs are the stream

Okay, thanks. I'm using 7.3.3. Glad I kept the old favorite hanging

You may find this works with 7.4 and not 7.3 servers. Though I would be
interesed in feedback from people on how well this works. The issue is

For alarms it might be better to use the WMA stream URL.

Hi,
If I add a favorite for the Live Radio 4 stream from the Internet Radio
menu the favorite works for a while but some later fails until I create
a new favorite. Means I cannot use it for the alarm clock. Does anyone
else see this?
