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.

I don't know what you mean about Search and ? being greyed out. I am not seeing either of these when I select View> UPnP Browser.

It sounds like MinimServer isn't running or is blocked by a firewall. Another possibility is a network discovery problem. Does the minim icon show green? What do you see in the MinimServer log window if you select 'Show log' from the minim icon?

Are you running MinimServer on the same Windows PC as foobar2000 or are these running on different machines?

Is the Windows PC (or PCs) connected to the network by a wireless or wired connection?

Quote: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.

This is correct.

Quote: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 ?

Yes, these URLs must point to the BBC server.

Hi Simon

Thanks for your comments/suggestions.

Re UPnP Browser. See uploaded JPG re greyed out i.e. unresponsive Search & ?

I'm running MinimServer and foobar 2000 on the same machine. Normally I run the network though a wired rather than a wireless connection.

The Minim icon turns green and the Log (see JPG) seems to show that it's running OK. I also have uploaded JPGs of the Server and System Properties as well as the Installed Packages.

I've tried snoozing the ZoneAlarm firewall but this doesn't address the problem.

I hope this information helps. As I mentioned before I had no problems until very recently.

Kind regards

Ian
