HD Internet Radio steams

[LukeZBaker]

There is an issue with HD internet radio e.g

BBC Radio 3 HD doesn't play

http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_three.m3u8

Error: Sorry, m3u parsing not fully implemented.

[Taiko2k]

Most of these types of streams such as the one you linked have regional restrictions (i.e you have to be in the UK for that stream to work), is why I haven't prioritised fixing this error.

[LukeZBaker]

Understood but a shame as even bash shell scripts like tera support the HD streams. These HD streams are very popular given their high bitrates

[Taiko2k]

Ive committed a fix that may solve this error now. I can't fully test it myself though but I assume it should work.

[LukeZBaker]

I tried a few HD streams but now get a different error message: Failed to establish a connection

[Taiko2k]

Hmm interesting, seems there's more to it. Could you paste me the contents of this file here for me? (It 403's for me)

Ok ive made a new commit now for you to test. Its quite a shot in the dark though.

[LukeZBaker]

Appreciate it's hard for you as you can't test.

The new commit now gives the error:

Extracted URL is: http://as-hls-uk-live.akamaized.net/pool_904/live/uk/bbc_radio_three/bbc_radio_three.isml/bbc_radio_three-audio=320000-262944006.ts No socket to close? Open URL..... URL error... Connection failed 'HTTPResponse' object has no attribute 'url' Start radio failed

Hmm, I'm getting that error for all streams now, HD or not.

Oh right, try pull again sorry

[LukeZBaker]

Start radio http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_three.m3u8 Fetching M3U... Error: local variable 'line' referenced before assignment Extracted URL is: None Failed to extract stream from M3U

[Taiko2k]

Thats weird. Try pull again, hopefully it will give a more detailed error now.

[Taiko2k]

Oh right got it. Ok try pull again. Such is the process of debugging.

[LukeZBaker]

HD streams play for a few seconds now, but then stop.

[Taiko2k]

I see, these streams use segmenting. Agghhhmumblemumblemumble.... Ok I try pull the latest commit. Im 50% sure it will work now.

[LukeZBaker]

Thanks! It works, will test more.

[Taiko2k]

So these are called HLS steams. Parsing them is complicated so what I've done is bypassed some code paths in Tauon and am letting FFMPEG do that parsing work instead. It does mean that recording and song metadata wont work in Tauon for them (not sure if there even is metadata), but at least playback will work.

[LukeZBaker]

Playback seems good.

Probably not important for many re recording. Certainly for the BBC HD streams, recording is best done with get_iplayer.
