Unable to play m4a stream

(1/3) > >>

mattkhan:
I noticed today that the linux version seems unable to play some mp4a internet radio streams.

An example is http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_one.m3u8

Windows MC plays it without issues
VLC or Amarok on the same linux machine also plays it

Is there some config I'm missing or is this something that jrmc on linux just doesn't support?

mattkhan:
Any ideas on this one?

Does internet radio work at all on JRiver for Linux?  My understanding was there was no web support of any kind at this point.

Interesting point. It hadn't occurred to me to think that the (windows) server would be streaming this to the (linux) client.

If this is what is happening then is this the same problem as http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=102786.0 ?

is there a page somewhere that lists what is and isn't actually supported on linux?

Not that I'm aware of; there's one for Mac, and with one or two notable exceptions (e.g. ripping and any kind of web browsing) they're pretty similar.

Part of the problem is that JRiver has so many, many functions that the only way to find out if it's supported on Linux is to test it on windows and then on Linux  :-\
