When I had [*R2] my Qute would not attempt to play the stream.

When I changed to [*R2;aac] the box attempted to play the stream and then failed. When I changed to [*R2;AAC] the stream started to play, but after reading your post I changed in back to [*R2;aac] and it still works! The Qute always displays AAC not aac which is why I made the change.

Quote:I tried the aac (and AAC) setting with a Naim Uniti (original model) and neither of them works. To get the stream to play on the Uniti, I need to transcode it using *:L16. (This setting will not work if you have put aac or AAC in the .m3u file.)

I have an early Uniti, ~Oct 2009 ( as well as the Qute), the firmware is quite up to date, maybe that is why aac and AAC both work. I could tell you the firmware version if that would help.

Quote:Did the problem with the playlist on the Roberts start when you added aac (or AAC) to the .m3u file or do you see the same problem if this setting is omitted?

The Roberts 'sees' the playlist but tells me it is empty. I think this has always been the case, but I have not tried it so often. It certainly happens with and without ;aac. The Roberts also does not like an & in the server name!
