Thanks for your reply, Simon. Yes, I think I will start a new thread: the existing ones on the BBC HLS streams are very long now, and I'm still reading and re-reading, trying different things ...

Yes, the international streams play fine on both my existing setup (MinimServer/Streamer [with the international stream playlist] on a QNAP TS-109 and Volumio on a Pi B+) and my new setup (MinimServer/Streamer [with the HLS stream playlist] on a QNAP HS-251+ and Arcam SR-250). I use BubbleUPnP as controller and with MS on the TS-109 as "Library" I can play the international streams on both Volumio and the Arcam. When I switch to MS on the new HS-251+ and try to play the HLS streams, they play fine on the Arcam but won't play on Volumio. What I've discovered today is that I thought I had the transcode setting blank in the MS properties on the HS-251+ but in fact I'd left a *:WAV entry. As soon as I cleared that, I found the situation reversed: HLS stream plays on Volumio (with some stuttering for a while but that's another issue) but no longer on the Arcam. This makes sense as the Arcam only supports, quote: "MP3, WMA, WAV, FLAC and MPEG-4 AAC (iTunes) with DRM10 support". I guess the last is a particular implementation of AAC which is different from the BBC HLS version, so the Arcam needs the WAV transcoding. What I don't understand is why Volumio can't work with that as well - but I'm going back to the various discussions on here in pursuit of an answer. I'll start a new thread with a more appropriate title if I need to ask for further assistance.

I continue to think MinimServer is one of the very best software programmes on the planet, by the way, and have sent a further small donation to acknowledge such, especially as I'm now using it in two implementations. Many, many thanks for all your dedicated work.

PS I checked for updates within Volumio recently, but it didn't come up with anything new. I'll need to look into that.
