BBC Radio 3 new HLS streams
« on: February 20, 2015, 03:44:35 am »

The new BBC Radio 3 HLS streams don't work.
They start and stop direct after 6 seconds.
The same files work good with the VLC player.

Hey Ton, this has just been fixed in the latest Windows release. I would presume the fix will be applied to the next MAC release.

After update to version 20.0.74 the HLS stream works.
I Have only this requester  “MC 20 keeps asking to accept incoming connections every time it launches”
What is wrong?

The HLS streams work fine for me except I'm unsure if its okay that JRIver is reporting it's playing them at 48.9k 32 bit. I understand the stream from the BBC is 16 bit, and I don't see where I have any transcoding(?) options set. Can anyone advise?

I've tried looking at the BBC Audio Factory blog and found the following reply to someone reporting something similar (presumably - I can't find the post that this answers):

"I'm not familiar with your set up so I have probably misunderstood your post, but the HLS/AAC streams are 16 bit so it must be JRiver that is converting it to 32 bit. There is probably a setting in JRiver that you can change (though, as always, make a note of what you have done in case you want to revert to original settings)."

I can't think what this setting would be.

AAC is a lossy format, it doesn't have a inherent bitdepth. Most lossy formats are decoded to 32-bit by MC for improved quality.

Sorry that shouldn't read 48.9k!

JRiver reports Audio Path input as '48kHz 32bit 2ch from source format HLS'

Thanks for explaining.
