    BBC livetext availability?

    Annoyingly, BBC have removed their livetext information on the BBC Iplayer feeds so Triode's plugin no longer supports livetext.

    BBC are running an experiment with RadioVis that Triode has got to work with a Touch or a SB Radio (won't work on the Boom though). It's actually quite good - if you happen to listen to Radio 1 or 1Xtra but as it happens I don't.

    I'm running a Vortexbox version of LMS btw.

    I've tried Tunein but all you get via the Tunein feed is a picture of the relevant DJ and the show - when it's working which it doesn't do reliably.

    Is there another plugin, app or feed that does still provide livetext? Livetext still works on my DAB radios.

    Only over dab - there is no internet feed at present for the non Radio1/1Xtra stations.

    Sorry no - no update from the BBC on this yet.
