Hello

Would you happen to have the BBC World service stream URLs (the new HQ ones, not the 48k mp3).

Thanks a lot

Anybody know if it's possible to somehow parse the MP3 or the M3U to reveal 'currently playing' info? I'd like to use it in a Raspberry Pi project...

The above streams are out of date. The ones that start with http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/ now have an hourly message saying they will stop working from 22nd March 2021. I have provided an up to date list at https://gist.github.com/bpsib/67089b959e4fa898af69fea59ad74bc3

Indeed the messages held true, the stream stopped working. As gists are inevitably going to become outdated at some point, I recommend to just find out the latest stream yourself by opening BBC's online radio website for the channel you're interested in and pressing F12, then in the network tab clicking the "Media" filter and extracting the stream that way.
