HLS Streaming
I'm attempting to stream BBC radio from the links on this page: http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/other.asp but Neutron just gets stuck on "loading". Can anyone offer any assistance, please? Thanks.
Re: HLS Streaming
Does streaming of radio stations via such a link generally work for you ?

Re: HLS Streaming
The links work e.g. in MPC. They don't seem to work when pasted into Neutron.

Please have a look at the following :

The links you provided are referencing HTTP front-end of music players of those internet streaming services. It is done in order to hide the direct link to the audio stream so that user would be forced to use provided front-end only.
Neutron needs link to the audio stream or playlist of the stream to be able to play it (any other player will need it too). Here is example of such link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r2.asx
You could also try extracting links to the audio from podcast XMLs (support for podcasts in to-do):
For example if you view:
http://radiofrance-podcast.net/podcast09/rss_11701.xml
There are audio links:
<enclosure url="http://rf.proxycast.org/m/media/2960962 ... 3725-0.mp3" length="52040672" type="audio/mpeg"/>
You need to input as URL in Neutron://rf.proxycast.org/m/media/296096201420.mp3?c=culture&p=CULTURES+MONDE_11701&l3=20121126&l4=&media_url=http%3A%2F%2Fmedia.radiofrance-podcast.net%2Fpodcast09%2F11701-26.11.2012-ITEMA_20423725-0.mp3
Best regards,
Dmitry.

I paste in e.g. this link: http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/ma ... rvice.m3u8
Should that not work?

Re: HLS Streaming
Well, this seems to be most problematic but I found one that actually works : http://bbcwssc.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcwssc_mp1_ws-eieuk

Re: HLS Streaming
While those links do work, they are low bitrate and somewhat waste the capability of Neutron and my LG V30 DAC! I was really hoping to get the high bitrate streams working - especially of 6Music.
Re: HLS Streaming
I suggest you write to the developer at neutronmp@gmail.com , perhaps he's got a list of valid high-quality-radio-links.Duffy Moon wrote: ↑Thu Oct 03, 2019 6:11 pmWhile those links do work, they are low bitrate and somewhat waste the capability of Neutron and my LG V30 DAC!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_Live_StreamingSomewhat lost in all the fuss about the BBC retiring its WMA internet radio streams is the fact that there are now high quality 320kbps streams for all BBC radio stations.

The new streams use the Apple developed HLS protocol, meaning you can listen to them simply by pasting the link into Safari. Another good way to listen to them is to use the VLC media player, which is available on pretty much any platform.
So I guess what you really want is for Neutron to support streaming via HLS ( HTTP Live Streaming ). I could move this topic into the Development forum, if you would like to request this feature.HTTP Live Streaming (also known as HLS) is an HTTP-based adaptive bitrate streaming communications protocol implemented by Apple Inc. as part of its QuickTime, Safari, OS X, and iOS software.
