Glad to report that, for me, BBC radio feeds are still available outside of BBC Sounds app.
Best for getting the HLS streams (presume they are the HLS Streams) is the Synapptic phone/tablet software which seems to get the sixty or more streams available.? the favourites links though have to be updated, but access via the Synapptic voice command works well.
Google Nest is getting them too as one might expect.
the latest update to the Blind Shell Classic 2 has now got some updated feeds, but these are all national ones, except BBC Radio London.? I do not think the Scotland and Northern Ireland feeds are available on the BS2 as yet.
the Humanware VR3 is getting the old Humanware UK playlist via - it would seem - an Amazon link, although I find there are interuptions with these feeds which I do not get on other players using my Wi-Fi.
A list of HLS streams was provided recently on the TAVIP list: but this appears to list BBC TV streams:
Have I got this wrong somewhere?
the Humanware VR2 will not handle the HLS streams.? Either its modem or whatever will not handle the bandwidth or else it simply does not support this format.
As I have said before my oldish Roberts internet radio still gets the BBC streams but this is not accessible in the sense of having voice feedback.
So, a mixed picture but let us hope things will get better in due course.
(I note VLC player will handle these new streams and you can record the streams within VLC though you end up with large files of course.)
Ray.
