BBC Feeds via Tunein

[StevePalmer]

Sorry guys, I posted this in the wrong forum

Hi Folks

Been away for a while! When I fired up my Logitech radio, I noticed that TuneIn no longer provides radio feeds for the BBC radio channels. I found an article on the interweb that confirmed that the BBC stopped supplying the feed to Tunein back on August 30th.

Simple question then: is there a simple way for me to get the streams back using maybe another app/method?

As always, thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers

Steve

I also met the same issue. My 6 preset buttons previously had TuneIn (Radiotime) urls for various BBC channels and no longer worked last week. So I went on www.mysqueezebox.com and signed in to my account, went into App Gallery and installed the BBC app provided by Logitech. This then appears in the My Apps tab.

Then on to the Squeezebox Radio itself under mysqueezebox.com (not the LMS which works differently and uses the bpa iPlayer plugin nicely). Go to My Apps and the BBC app should now be there. Select your channel and it should play. Press and hold the relevant silver preset button and it will be stored there. Repeat for other channels. Add to Favorites if you like and edit the wording in MySqueezebox.com's favorites tab to something shorter e.g. BBC Radio 4 FM if you think the present words are too long.

Works for me - hope this helps.

My Squeezebox Classic Ver 3 seems to have lost the ability to stream live BBC Radio in my lounge. I wonder if that is linked to them withdrawing the Tunein feeds. Little strange though as it is all coming off a local Vortexbox / LMS with the excellent Triode / BPA plugins - BBC Iplayer and BBC Iplayer extra working well for some years.

I can stream both live and play back in the Kitchen (the network player is an Rpi2 running Max2play / Squeezelite) and also off the VB Player in the study but if I try and sync to one of the original Squeezebox Classics it freezes - also if I ungroup and play solely to the QB Classic via the Iplayer App it still errors...

Any ideas anyone?

Tune-in issues has nothing to do with BBCiPlayer plugin.

If you are using the BBCiPlayer menus - then post the issues on the BBCiPlayer thread.

If using BBCiPlayer - then sounds like a LMS transcoding issues since BBCiPlayer streams are AAC and Classic cannot play AAC natively but most squeezelite players can.

Thanks BPA. Must be coincidence then and a LMS transcoding issue. The stream was AAC but i'm sure your plugin sorted it excellently a few years back. The Squeezelite players all work.

Transcoding is a LMS issue - the BBCiPlayer plugin can never sort it out if it is setup wrong or broken. Only exception is if the BBCiPlayer Setting "Allow transcoding" is not checked.

Thank you BPA. The SB Classics can play BBC Radio again.
A full Vortexbox and LMS reboot was the likely resolution.
Your plugin is excellent and so important to my listening choices.
