BBC Radio Applet, no 5 Live?

[anotherbob]

I can't get BBC radio 5 Live on my Radio this morning using the BBC Radio Applet. I can get 5 Live (London) via mysqueezebox.com but because of "rights restrictions" that is carrying repeats. Same problem on my SB Touch.
However I can get 5 Live "proper" on my phone using TUNEIN radio, and I can get it on the SB Touch via TUNEIN, but NOT on my SB Radio!!
What's going on?

edit: The workaround below is for the situation where you are using the Logitech BBC Radio App and not Triodes BBC Radio Applet and you are hearing a Football repeat instead of live Open Golf commentary.

This sounds like an old problem come back. - basically the mysb.com server that you use may be outside the uK so BBC think your player is outside the uK so you have rights restrictions imposed.

A workaround that used to work was the create a Favorite of the following URL and then play it.
mms://wmlive-acl.bbc.co.uk/wms/bbc_ami/radio5/radio5_bb_live_eq1_sl0#slim:noscan=1

As I am not in the UK I am not sure if the above URL still works.

Are you actually using the BBC Radio Applet (this should not matter if you are using mysb.com or a local server)

However the 5 Live aac http stream looks broken at present - suggest you set the preferred stream to wma at the bottom of the top level BBC Radio applet menu for the moment.

Got round it by tuning via LMS on my PC.
