Hi list,
Up until recently I have been using Winamp for all my audio streaming
including the streaming of stations from the BBC. However now they have
chosen to abandon their Windows media and AAC and AAC Plus streams I have a
bit of a problem.
Whilst there is an MP3 stream of each of the BBC stations, these are
unrestricted and hence do not carry many of the sports commentaries. The
streams that do are the HTTP based streams, HLS, HDS and DASH. The problem
is that Winamp will not play these. Whilst I realise Winamp isn't being
developed any more, does anyone know whether there is a plug in available
from anywhere that will enable playing of these streams through Winamp?
Alternatively, one player that will play these streams is the VLC Media
Player. However I cannot work out for the life of me how to turn the player
up and down, how to set and retrieve bookmarks, or any of the functions of
the player like that. If anyone out there knows this player please could
you point me in the right direction? I can't even find the user
documentation to which the help points! Please feel free to contact me off
list if you want to reduce the traffic for those who aren't interested in
this topic.
Many thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide,
Andrew
