BBCiPlayer V1.6 (and higher) & BBCiPlayerExtra 2.0 (and higher) Support

They might have turned it off again - 404 not found.
Hopefully because they have finished their preparation rather than changing things because they have seen that they have been spotted.

The UK feed is still working for me.

My fault.
Was working fine when I chose to play by URL but I made a copy/paste error when adding it as a favourite.
Now corrected the URL and all is well.

There seems to be no metadata for the Live stream. AFAICT there is no live stream on the Web browser (from Radio 2 Beatkes it will play normal R2 live).
No Programs appear under BBCiPlayer "Listen Again"

For broadcast programs on BBCiPlayerExtra - check under A-Z - "R" - "Radio 2 Beatles" -

edit:

FRom BBC Website -

You can listen via a DAB digital radio and all programmes will be available to listen to on BBC SOUNDS for 30 days after broadcast.

Please note that Radio 2 Beatles is NOT available via analogue radio (FM, AM, LW) or via digital television.

Radio 2 Beatles programmes will be available as 'catch up' for 30 days on BBC Sounds. Please visit BBC Sounds where you will find all the programmes after they are broadcast.

Please note that it is NOT available as live radio via the BBC Sounds app; iPlayerRadio app or digital television.

I'm surprised the above HLS and DASH "live" URLs actually work - I haven't listened for any length so perhaps it is just a series of long excepts.

FYI ... on DAB there is the show name and one-line description - and DAB audio matches the stream.
Just finished ...

The Beatles Solo - Imagine
Tris Penna reviews the solo album releases by the Fab Four.

Not sure about source of DAB info - it may be part of the MPEG2-TS stream or the DAB EPG.

The usual BBC network URLs ("Now" for tracks and about "day" of programmes) for Radio one are
For tracks and "now" - http://polling.bbc.co.uk/modules/ona...radio_one.json
For programs about a "day" around "now" (i.e. xx hrs before and xx hrs after) https://polling.bbc.co.uk/radio/nhpp...altimeCallback

Tried with bbc_radio_two_beatles - nothing for "now" but "day" URL produces a listing- however it is not currently used by Plugin (it wasn't available when metadata was first written). This may be used by DAB

So nothing can be done within next few days, however, some of the programs played via BBCiPlayerExtra do have "segment times info" under More where specific tracks times are listed.

Last time I checked Tony Blackburn was on and a programme featuring him was scheduled between 3pm and 4pm, so it seems to be live. I also heard some of Nicky Campbell talking to Giles Martin earlier.

Hi all. Is anyone else worried that the BBC will continue to shut down radio feeds to different sources (in this case Tunein) if they can't get the above data or account sign in?

See blog. https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/aboutthe...41582#comments

Triode and BPA's plugins are way above my understanding but I do fear that the Beeb can come across as arrogant in this area and so far have not shown much compassion for Amazon Alexa users or those who want multi room or to control their Sonos!

I had to update some of my present buttons on the SB Radio - but luckily LMS has the options. In any event I've signed this petition.

Tune-in issues have nothing to do with the actual BBC radio streams. "Feeds" is the term usually used for the data feed which in turn provide the URLs for the streams.

This tune-in issues has nothing to do with BBCiPlayer plugins so please do not keep it going in this thread. The petition has nothing to do with BBCiPlayer plugin.

It is just the BBC blocking Amazon & Tune-in from listing the radio streams. The same radio streams work OK when played directly.

I am eternally grateful for the fine work that continues to keep the BBC iPlayer app running.

I have a niggle with the recent updates. As far as the streams go things continue to work well.
The niggle is purely to comment that the channel icons appear fine in a web browser, but when using an Android device running Orange Squeeze they're blurry because the icons themselves are too small.
Is it possible to make the icons bigger, and appear sharp again?

It's not a biggy, and if it's a pain in the backside to sort out forget I mentioned anything.
It works, which is the most important thing.
