Thanks for bearing with me, and let me know of any problems you find.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s some notes about the new versions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The BBC Live Radio programme is now using the new HLS streams for Windows 8 and later. Windows 7 and earlier won&#8217;t play these streams, so it falls back to the ShoutCast MP3 streams. These will be turned off by the BBC in 2016, on current plans, so Windows 7 and earlier will break again.\n<li>In BBC Live Radio at present I simply pick the first HLS stream available, which is probably not the best choice (non-optimum bitrate, or wrong international\/not international version, or whatever).\n<li>The BBC iPlayer Radio programme simply converts the downloaded AAC file to MP3 to play it, using FFMPEG, which can take a little time, and there is no progress indicator yet. Users will probably think it has hung, but give it a little time.\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight I&#8217;ve updated BBC Live Radio to version 3.0, and I believe that it now works with the new BBC Radio live streams for Windows XP and later.
