Panic over
Panic over - everything seems back to normal this morning and I can resume my habitual ways.
A bluetooth speaker and a BBC app is definitely inferior to Squeezebox. I started casting round for something else and discovered that there seems to be nothing at a reasonable price and convenience. I was also shocked to learn that even the esteemed and expensive Sonos doesn't do BBC radio listen again. I really don't know what Logitec was thinking when they stopped Squeezebox.Comment

With respect to playing the rtmp streams on the squeezebox using the modified BBCiPlayer plugin:

1. To play the stream you can use ffplay (part of ffmpeg installation).
Code:ffplay -rtmp_app ElBernamegElOrobi -rtmp_playpath livestream -rtmp_live live -rtmp_swfverify http://lr.onlinehorizons.net/player.swf -rtmp_swfurl http://lr.onlinehorizons.net/player.swf -rtmp_pageurl http://lr.onlinehorizons.net/ElBernamegElOrobi.html -rtmp_tcurl rtmp://liveRadio.onlinehorizons.net/ElBernamegElOrobi -i rtmp://liveRadio.onlinehorizons.net:1935/ElBernamegElOrobi
I found the problem, or rather I figured what makes it work.
Basically, the command works by removing the following parameter: "-rtmp_swfverify http://lr.onlinehorizons.net/player.swf"
Many other parameters seem optional. The following code is sufficient:
Code:ffplay -rtmp_live live -rtmp_swfurl http://lr.onlinehorizons.net/player.swf -rtmp_pageurl http://lr.onlinehorizons.net/ElBernamegElOrobi.html -i rtmp://liveRadio.onlinehorizons.net:1935/ElBernamegElOrobi/livestream
The version of ffplay I use is:
ffplay version N-86383-g4705edb Copyright (c) 2003-2017 the FFmpeg developers
built with gcc 7.1.0 (GCC)
Thanks again

The question does not relate to the BBCiPlayer or to the Logitech Squeezebox. It relates to Applian's Replay Media Catcher and how to schedule with it recordings from rtmp streams. So I'm reluctant to post here. If you suggest a more appropriate forum on another site or on this ste, that's where I will post.Comment

I found the problem - the BBCiPlayer RTMP implementation didn't support the "pageUrl" parameter which is required by your station but not BBC.
Try the following.
1. Install the latest version of BBCiPlayer using the following repo:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pro...lease-repo.xml
2. Replace the RTMP.pm file by the attached RTMP.pm file which has a mod to support "pageUrl"
3. Stop and Restart LMS
4. Add the following as a favorite (single URL)
rtmp://liveRadio.onlinehorizons.net:1935?streamname=bGl2Z XN0cmVhbQ==&app=RWxCZXJuYW1lZ0VsT3JvYmk=&live=MQ== &swfurl=aHR0cDovL2xyLm9ubGluZWhvcml6b25zLm5ldC9wbG F5ZXIuc3dm&tcurl=cnRtcDovL2xpdmVSYWRpby5vbmxpbmVob 3Jpem9ucy5uZXQvRWxCZXJuYW1lZ0VsT3JvYmk=&pageurl=aH R0cDovL2xyLm9ubGluZWhvcml6b25zLm5ldC9FbEJlcm5hbWVn RWxPcm9iaS5odG1s&.mp3
5.Try playing the new Favorite.
This mod works OK on a Linux system but I know there are "issues" with BBCiPlayer on some Windows systems so there may be a long delay before audio starts.
This mod will not work with a player which has the BBCiPlayer App installed (i.e. players with native "rtmp").
I think this mod should work with the http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pro...lease-repo.xml repo but I have not tested it.
Hello again bpa,
Your fix worked for a long time, but several months ago it stopped working. I don't know what exactly happened. Yesterday, I reinstalled the BBCiPlayer (now v2.0.0) and replaced RTMP.pm with your version. But that still doesn't work. Can you suggest a checklist of things to look for?

Please open a separate thread for your own special application to continue this conversation as I cannot remember off hand what it is about.
Old version of the BBCiplayer plugin will disappear - so I cannot guarantee support for old version. V2.1.0 of the BBCIplayerextra plugin is the latest. V1.6.1 is the latest of BBCiPlayerUse this URL.
Changes to RTMP between version cannot be guaranteed but since the RTMP code is not being maintained I doubt if the problem is with the BBCiPlayer.
Have you compared the URLs of your station to see if they have changed ?
Please please - start a new thread of your own..Last edited by bpa; 2018-12-11, 09:39.Comment
