You can copy the file to your Joggler using WinSCP. That's how I did it before roobarb posted his method.
Thanks for the tip. It has taken me a couple of days to get up to speed with WinSCP and have copied the opml file into the correct directory after removing the old one. Unfortunately still no joy with the listen live programmes. I now suspect this is due to the version of FFmpeg available in the repository - apparently one needs a newish version for this to work according to the Squeezebox Community forums.
Unless I can find a newer version of FFmpeg, it looks like I will have to update to the latest version of SQPos.
Any tips as to how I might be able to get a later version of FFmpeg installed?

Have you checked that the HLS audio plugin is installed AND enabled?

TBH I think a fresh SqpOS install is a good idea. I'm going to set up the new iPlayer streams on my brother-in-law's Joggler and that's the way I'm going to tackle it. I think it will save time in the long run.

Try this from castalla, it worked for me on the latestes SQPOS

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:samrog131/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install ffmpeg-real

sudo ln -sf /opt/ffmpeg/bin/ffmpeg /usr/bin/ffmpeg

I have just done a fresh SqueezePlay OS/LMS install on an external usb stick.

No need to add ffmpeg.

Just add these two urls to the third party repositories ( LMS web gui Settings>Plugins>scroll down to the page bottom) to get the updates and proceed as usual.

Live and play it again work, although a little claggy (one sometimes has to click the start> a few times ;)

The bpaplugin is not necessary if you install the triode update.

This method works on LMS on the stock/PnP3 OS so I built it into PnP3 v3.50

Hi. I followed the instructions in the first post, but the bpa repository listed there gives an error. I then added triodes repository and the modified BPA one. Triodes worked OK, but the BPA one again failed.
On the joggler I see the BBC iPlayer all. Listen live on there takes me to the recording saying the stream no longer works.
I also see a BBC all. This gives a long list of 128k mp3 options for about 30 BBC stations.
Neither of these two apps give access to the high quality streams.
What do I need to do to resolve this?
Thanks

Jim, where are you running LMS?

I have LMS installed and configured on an Odroid U3 (Max2Play as OS).

I have a Joggler with the Internal SqueeezePlay OS installed ans controling a SBRadio and Boom.

No problems with either.

Ye need to take ye-self hither and perform ye the alchemy:

Also update ye parser and opml
