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. Ray. |

Re: trying to pair air pods pro with VRS3
开云体育? ? Hi Ray Good to hear from you. I have just replied to David and the VRS3 is up to date. I spoke with Lewis yesterday and he told me people are having issues with pairing Apple air Pods Pro to the VRS3. I’ll be writing to HumanWare to see what they have to say or if there is a work around.

David's suggestion about checking for the latest update to the VR3 may well do the trick, but its beginning to sound to me like the same BlueTooth connection issues people have with the Blindshell Classis, i.e. conecting to apple airpodcs and other brands.? I must try connecting my Bose Earbuds to the VR3 and see how that goes. Meanwhile you should email Lewis Crack at Humanware who might know all about this.

Another reason I don't like TuneIn radio
Like almost everyone I am no fan of TuneIn down to the adverts, although I think you can silence them by paying for the service.
Another reason for disliking TuneIn is, seemingly, you cannot record radio when you do listen via TuneIn.? I imagine this might be due to a restriction imposed by TuneIN although I have not read up on this or listened to any podcasts or tutorials that might touch on this.? Given? I can record stations found via OoTune or imported M3U or pls files then this is just one more reason I have a downer on TuneIn.? so I must re-aquaint myself with creating my own .m3u files.? (For those who use Alexa, their is a skill for Angel Radio Portsmouth which is very similar to Angel Radio Isle of White. From here on you can stop reading if you don't like older music and old radio programmes. I encountered this restriction when I used TuneIn to search for Angel Radio Isle of White which is now on the internet again.? For anyone who hasn't listend to it, it plays music from the 1920s up to around 1970, so you have to be around state pension age or older to really appreciate much of its output, and if yo are not put off by that, then some of the presenters are not the smoothy slick sort of guys you find on commercial radio and BBC.? I like it and often happen on things I don't find anywhere else. Ray. |

High rate, the rnib reading Services is also available on synaptic. Hopefully sooner rather than later it will be available on the Victor stream. Best Mrs Villa

Sorry folks, but only just caught up with earlier posts here. As to Claire's question, I might add that Humanware could talk to Calibre Audio about making their online books available on the stream.? While RNIB seems to be dragging its feet getting this going, I think Calibre might just be more willing to see this sort of service made available on the Stream.? I note that the Synapptic Android software enables downloading or streaming of Calibre books, so clearly this could be a possibility for the Stream in the future. Ray.
