In the FAQ: http://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects/proms-surround-sound/inside-story There's a link to a test player: http://rdmedia.bbc.co.uk/proms/surroundtest.html
On Linux, Chrome works as expected (with 4 distinct channels), but Firefox still mixes the 4 channels in stereo. So I would suggest to verify the channels using the test player before listening to the live streams. The Opera browser works because it is based on Chrome. The BBC "experimental surround player" (is it the same since 2014?) could warn users of non-Chrome based browsers. -- Marc On Fri, 15 Jul 2016 19:38:44 +0100, Paul Hodges <pwh-surro...@cassland.org> wrote : > --On 15 July 2016 20:12 +0200 David Pickett <d...@fugato.com> wrote: > > > I just realised that the First Night of the Proms is in half an hour > > and the BBC is again streaming in Surround. > > > > Information here: > > http://www.bbc.co.uk/taster/projects/proms-surround-sound-2016 > > Unlike in previous years, going to the link presents a working > 4-channel feed from my default browser (Opera) with no additional > preparation required.
