The best way to listen to BBC streams on the Joggler is either on Squeezeplay OS (which supports the squeezebox.com BBC addon) or add the BBC iPlayer and iPlayer Extra addons in Logitech Media Server. Logitech Media Server is installed automatically with PnPIII or can be installed easily on Squeezeplay OS from the advanced settings.SimonH wrote:What is the "best" way to listen to BBC across various types of Squeezebox? (preferably with programme details on screen). TIA!
Start up Squeezeplay on the Joggler; you don't have to play anything if you don't want to. This isn't strictly necessary but it helps when checking your server installation later.
If you haven't used LMS before, you should visit "http://IP address of your Joggler:9000" in your computer's web browser (obviously replacing the text with your Joggler's actual IP address). This will connect you to the server on your Joggler.
If it's the first time you've used LMS you will have to enter your squeezebox.com account user name and password. Next you will have to choose a music source directory and a playlist directory - choose anything sensible just to get started, you can change this later if you want.
The server interface should now be visible in your browser and your Squeezeplay addons should be listed. If not, check that the server is connected to your device; there is a drop-down in the top right that should list any running instances of Squeezeplay - choose the one you want.
Now choose the Settings icon in the bottom right of the browser (there's a small cog symbol next to it).
On the settings page choose the plugins tab. Now scroll to the bottom and click the box to allow 3rd party plugins and restart the server (wait a couple of minutes before doing anything else). Now scroll down and more plugins should be listed - choose the BBC iPlayer and iPlayer Extras plugins and restart the server. The addons might now appear at the top of the list but may not be ticked (activated); tick the boxes and restart the server and in a couple of minutes the BBC streams should be available in Squeezeplay.
If you have a Spotify Premium account you can also add the Triode Spotify plugin - the Squeezebox.com version doesn't work with the Joggler. In the Spotify plugin settings you can set your user name and password and also choose the stream quality.
I hope this makes sense. Just do it step-by-step and you should find it fairly simple.
