Thanks David for your BBC streams update.? Sorry to say the M3U playlist I sent earlier stopped working on my VR3 a short time after I sent the links.? I don't know what's happening but it could be the BBC servers are rejecting access to these streams even though I am in the UK.? I also find my old Roberts internet radio is still getting the BBC streams too.

Strange things is the BBC streams I listen to on my BlindShell classic 2 are working still.? No idea where the streams its using are coming from.

It would be good if you could post links to the websites where you are getting your streams from.

Ray.

Hello Ray

I have put a working BBC WM playlist file in my normal Radio Playlist folder for you. It is working here on VLC on a PC at least.

By the way the BBC Stations all seem to work OK on the SensPlayer as long as you update the channel database.

I think I have all the national stations working in these files including Five live but not, sadly, Sports Extra.

They are compiled from a number of sources.

?

I have only put BBC Essex, London Devon and WM in as local stations. I can try and find others on request.

If you want the actual streams URLs just open the playlist files in notepad.

Subject: [dap-uk] BBC HLS streams update

?

I had not used my Victor Reader 3 for a while to listen to BBC radio, but oh dear,when I went to the playlist I imported a year or more back I found none of them would play.? this I am guessing is not news to some here, but I only just discovered this.

?

So another quick search brought up these updated streams which seem to have been uploaded a month or so back.? Most of the streams seem to work, but so far two that do not are Radio 5 Live and BBC WM.? the last is my local radio station which I do not listen to much, and can get on other devices as it happens.

?

Direct links to these playlists are:

Found at,

All this said, most of my listening now is via smart speakers which play everything I want to listen to, including BBC local radio in other areas, so the VR3 is les important to me now for radio listening than it used to be.

?

If anyone has a full list of BBC radio streams that plays all the BBC radio streams then please post links here.

?

As the guy on the above linked-to website says, the Beeb seems to change these URLs more often than most folks change their under pants.
