BBC Radio M3U8 (New from January 2015)
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2015 7:30 pmI have searched the threads and extensively experimented to see whether I can get Serviio to play BBC HLS Radio via transcoding to MP3 since I have a Humax HDR. At the minute no joy.
An example is this one
http://as-hls-uk-live.bbcfmt.vo.llnwd.n ... 20000.m3u8
The history is that the BBC gave internet radio suppliers little time and didn't explain themselves when they pulled the previous flash AAC wrapped materiel. This isn't wrapped in a way you have to crack it but is in HLS. There is a MinimServer application that works which generates AAC from these m3u8's but the transcode on that to MP3 doesn't work either. Linn people seem to be happy with that... it does work with Denon which reads AAC streams not M3U8. Developers text on this "it is automatically converted to a "normal" AAC ADTS stream that the DS is able to play".
I'm wondering whether the Serviio commands need to be twigged to get FFMPEG to do the task and generate a MP3 transcoded output ?. Am I missing parameter.
I currently have the parameters:
</Transcoding>
<OnlineTranscoding>
<Video targetContainer="mpegts" targetVCodec="mpeg2video" targetACodec="ac3">
<Matches container="*" />
</Video>
<Audio targetContainer="mp3" aBitrate="320">
<Matches container="flac" />
<Matches container="ogg" />
<Matches container="adts" />
<Matches container="flv" />
<Matches container="mp2" />
<Matches container="wavpack" />
<Matches container="mpc" />
<Matches container="ape" />
<Matches container="mp4" />
</Audio>
<!--
========================= For transcoding I added the lines above for the HUMAX HDR ====================================
-->
</OnlineTranscoding>
& I put the stream in as a lives stream. I've also running it with the any stream command but that didn't work either.
The example stream above is for the UK, however the full list is here:
http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/other.asp
Yellow ones are for non UK.
So yes if a solution can be found that would be excellent and I'm sure a lot of people would find Serviio useful who's systems don't read native AAC.
