I installed foo_upnp. However after considerable effort I still cannot find a way to play any BBC Radio streams with foobar using the plugin and MinimStreamer. Perhaps you could advise me for the correct set up for the UPnP Browser and UPnP Controller which will allow me the equivalent functionality as I used to get by simply pasting http://192.168.1.???:9790/minimstreamer/*/R? into foobar's 'Add Location'. All I want to do is to play the relevant BBC Radio streams using foobar. Nothing more fancy than that!

No special setup is needed in foobar2000 except for installing foo_upnp. You need to carefully follow all the instructions on this page. For steps 8 and 9, select View > UPnP Browser in the foobar2000 main window, then select MinimServer from the list of UPnP servers, then select '1 playlist', then select BBC Radio, then use the UPnP Browser Selection tab to double-click the station you want to play. You should ignore step 10 because this isn't needed when using foobar2000.

Hi Simon

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I'm still having problems...

I've followed all the steps in the http://minimstreamer.com/bbcradio.html using the m3u template. However when I go View> UPnP Browser no UPnP servers are showing and Search and ? are greyed out. Please note the Content Directory in MinimServer points to the BBC Radio folder containing the BBC Radio.m3u file which was saved as plain text. Finally are the URLS in the m3u file supposed to be (for example) http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/man...three.m3u8 etc rather than http://'My LAN IP':9790/minimstreamer/*/R3 ?

Slightly baffled!
