Can someone provide an updated list of these BBC streams? They are all dead now. I have got some to work by looking through the comments up the page but I can't get many of the others to work such as the regional BBC One streams.

Pixelated low quality 720p. How to get high bitrate 1080P?

They're 50fps 720p and don't appear pixelated to me but I agree 1080p would be better. Unfortunately, the legitimate BBC streams are only at 720p. There aren't any official 1080p ones that I'm aware of. Hopefully the BBC will offer 1080p in the near future.

Unlike ITV, even broadcast BBC in 1080i is not high quality, and also often doesn't have high bitrate.

The bitrate does shoot up if the content is grainy, or high-motion high-detail in nature (a football game for example). But often enough, you will find the average bitrate of broadcast BBC in 1080i to be even lower than the 720p50 web streams.

So, official or not, there is currently no high-quality source a stream can use for BBC channels, except when some specific content is on, as mentioned above.

@Smark223, how did you acquire these?

You can poll this API endpoint (as long as you know the channel ID) and the stream URLs are in the response:

https://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/6/select/version/2.0/mediaset/pc/vpid/bbc_one_london/format/json/cors/1
https://open.live.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/6/select/version/2.0/mediaset/pc/vpid/bbc_two_hd/format/json/cors/1

Although the "service" value seems to be set to deprecated in all of the responses so no idea what that actually means, but the stream URLs are at least there.

No 1080p, only nasty pixelated 720 and lower there.

You can try the media availability tool which will return all the available streams. As mentioned over and over again, the legitimate live streams are generally only 720p or UHD (if available), but querying the media selector will allow you to see if the stream quality you are after is available or not.

For those with Amazon Echo Shows you can use https://www.amazon.co.uk/XdreaM-MyPage/dp/B09CG879RG to open url's in Silk Browser. You only have to touch the Show if you want it full screen.
Play - "Open Mypage and open ???"
Stop - "Exit browser"
To edit list in browser - "Open mypage and open list" scroll down page to see code to open https://xdream2000.com/alexa/my_page/ on pc. Easier to add streams on pc.

MyPage doesn't work with the Echo Show 5 3rd Gen. All I get is a blank screen for a few seconds before it goes back. It also can't be configured on the Echo Show 5 3rd Gen as it just asks for a code. Does anyone know any workaround to open custom URLs in the Silk browser using voice on the 3rd generation Echo Show 5?

Iangh59 commented Feb 23, 2024

I use gen 1's and 2's, don't see why a gen 3 should break it. You've installed on Echo and can see it listed in the app? "alexa, open mypage and open list" should open the list on the echo for you to populate? But's it's easier to use the PC - go to https://xdream2000.com/alexa/my_page/ on your PC. Scroll down the mypage on your echo and you will see the code your PC requires. Populate one of the entries, save and try it. If that doesn't work, email the author, Andy, andy_s@gmx.at.

Where is it working for you from? I'm trying from UK, it's 403.
