How are you selecting and playing BBC Radio 3? For example, if you are using the BBC iPlayer plugin then it can try to give access to the stream at 320 bps. Is there anything in the LMS log? Since you have SSH session to the server you could run tail -f server.log (see the LMS web UI Settings/Inf

Is The R3 and other radio streams a new problem ? Were you able to play R3 OK before ? What other station have problems ? What is your version of LMS ? If LMS is not up to date (even 6 months may be too old) with latest https support - there are instances of system hangup.

I don't use docker nor know about its shortcomings. It is likely that the "official" docker image will be kept up to date and tackle docker specific issues. The term NAS covers a wide range of hardware so if you have problems, the best way to see if it can be "fixed" is to report your symptom

I have a QNAP NAS but after much gnashing of teeth I have pretty much abandoned all the low quality apps, both official and non-official, in favour of Docker. The NAS is now just a box of storage and a host for docker containers. There will always be caveats but Docker allows me to become host ag

Not sure if you are UK or non UK (and if non UK whether using a VPN) . I think due to a UK court case. a few months ago, Tunein would not play many station - so although they show the entry - the station did not play. Not sure current status - some stations were restored. In short, at the mome

The AAC URL is what BBC site says it is but that could be out of date - I cannot test as I am outside UK ( I get a 403 forbidden) . The URL in error log looks like HLS URL - maybe BBC has retired the HTTP/AAC stream. Perhaps another UK user can test the R3 AAC URL. mistakenot... wrote: > Sorry

What is the audio output device on the Pi ? What is the squeezelite command line being used ? Except for MP3 which is 44.1kHz, BBC streams are 48kHz. There have been problems with some users who have set up audio output options mainly to support 44.1kHz and so 48kHz streams caused odd problems.

I agree that the USB out is a big step up from 3.5mm audio out. If there are not budget constraints then I'd highly recommend the Khadas Tone Board and Audiophonics case - its a USB DAC capable of 32/384 and works VERY nicely with a Pi3 or Pi4. This is mine. Pi4 in a Lincoln Binns PiBox Pro case
