I'm currently investigating using icecast2 and ffmpeg to do streaming to a Roberts 83i device which cannot read the BBC HLS stream. This arrangement seems to work for some short tests (30 mins or so).

You need to have icecast2 running on a computer (or Raspberry PI, etc). This needs to be configured with some source password to make it secure. Then you can run something like this to read the BBC stream and send to icecast (assuming here ffmpeg and icecast are on the same computer).

ffmpeg -re -i 'http://in_stream.m3u8' -acodec copy -content_type audio/aac -legacy_icecast 1 -f adts icecast://source:source_password@localhost:8000/out_stream

You can then set your player to read the stream http://ip_address:8000/out_stream. Note that your device needs to be able to read AAC streams for this to work. However, it's possible to transcode to mp3 or other formats if you want to suffer the audio quality loss (see https://gist.github.com/keiya/c8a5cbd4fe2594ddbb3390d9cf7dcac9).

There's more work to be done here. I'd like to dynamically run the ffmpeg command when the stream is used, so it doesn't need to run all the time. I think this may be possible to do with the icecast auth settings and some simple python wrapper. I'll let you know if I have some progress.

I can create a temporary server and then relay all to icecast, mp3 if anyone is interested let me know. Will share all the mp3 links here

You may get a C&D notice from the BBC, but if not, the challenge is to keep the AAC format rather than transpose to mp3. Reckon you're up to it?
Pure AAC with no wrappers that confuse certain players.

I came across someone who used VLC but they could only convert to a .ts stream, which their Internet radio set didn't like.

How would they be detecting "nefarious" activity that would warrant a C&D (the quite reasonable digital right to transcoding)? Can ffmpeg send or set a user agent string? And if they are pushing us to VPN because of this, we could easily drain more of their bandwidth because defeating geo-fencing gains us access to higher bitrates, so you could easily craft a 320kbps MP3 of Radio 3.

And if they wanted to take action against someone their action based on transcoding they could in theory set a precedent that makes all Bluetooth equipment illegal since it would be taking and rebroadcasting a source via ... ironically, radio waves. If such a thing were to happen and there was a competing technology to Bluetooth that say used WiFi instead, that manufacturer could effectively shut down Bluetooth.

All that to say, Pure's workaround to this is to use Bluetooth.

@vinnielo1 - I couldn't get VLC to work with AAC and my internet radio, but ffmpeg and icecast above seemed to work fine. Probably it needs testing on some other radios to see how well they cope with it.

Could icecast be configured with something like ezstream to rebroadcast all the URL's? http://radio.local:1929/bbc_radio_1 http://radio.local:1929/bbc_radio_2 etc? And if there are zero listeners and the service is still running is it calling the source constantly?

The Radio 1 stream for outside the UK works for me (substituting uk->nonuk and med->low in the URL).

Same the nonuk works for me and if I connect to VPN through the UK the UK stream still works.

Migrating to ,m3u8 links, I now find that my Ocean Digital internet receiver states it supports .m3u files and it actually does support ,m3u8 links as well, on testing.
I now find that I can programme in the URL box this for example http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_med/ak/bbc_radio_fourfm.m3u8 and it works. I do have to use https though.
My next challenge is that I find its playing 6 hours behind. Are there any possible syntax rules in the format here, that forces the .m3u8 link to play the most current sound bytes please.
Thank for your support. I'm almost there with my Ocean Digital internet radio migration to .m3u8 apart from its 6 hours late :)

@xanda-escuyer

Assuming the 6 hour lag is not simply a reporting error in your device's UI, try:-

http://as-hls-uk-live.akamaized.net/pool_904/live/uk/bbc_radio_fourfm/bbc_radio_fourfm.isml/bbc_radio_fourfm-audio%3d320000.norewind.m3u8

Swapping with https as required.

Access to alternate format steams can be found at Radio Feeds UK and might spare the hassle of self-streaming/transcoding.

The 6 hour lag was found out by the 8am news coming on at 2pm on my internet radio .
This link http://as-hls-uk-live.akamaized.net/pool_904/live/uk/bbc_radio_fourfm/bbc_radio_fourfm.isml/bbc_radio_fourfm-audio%3d320000.norewind.m3u8 now gets it as good as live rather than the 6 hour delay previously encountered with other links posted. Thanks for the heads up on Radio Feeds UK. I'll look to use that to get the live .m3u8 links for my Ocean Span internet radio.

Indeed. Still works when scrubbed-out though.
Only difference in this case (so far as I can tell) is that playback duration reports as 6 hours; as opposed to normal time when it is included. This of course could be dependant on the player but otherwise seems to be the same.

I've made a basic project which can start and stop the ffmpeg process when the stream is accessed on icecast. A configuration file defines the streams and server settings. Please see: https://github.com/jeremysanders/ice_launcher. Contributions welcome.

Great work by jeremysanders, but I can't help feeling that Frontier Nuvola should be doing the transcoding. Roberts appear to have shown no interest at all in pressurising the BBC to stop this nonsense.

For years I was using the following stream URL for Radio 3, but recently it seems to have stopped working:
http://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/5/select/version/2.0/mediaset/http-icy-mp3-a/vpid/bbc_radio_three/format/pls.pls

I am using Winamp. Does anyone know what the new Radio 3 stream URL might be? Many thanks.

Does anyone know is it possible to play the new streams in the latest Winamp? I've successfully played the new nonuk url (http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/nonuk/sbr_low/ak/bbc_6music.m3u8) in VLC, but Winamp only loaded ts files list but could't play them.

The legacy Winamp (5.666) can't play them.
I doubt any new versions based on the original workings can.
