Just to set the record straight here =E2=80=A6

=20

The BBC sent out notifications to many streaming audio device
manufacturers=
around October last year that they would be rationalising the formats of t=
heir streaming services and made available test streams for manufacturers
t=
o check against=E2=80=A6

=20

I know that we certainly checked against those streams which were
basically=
AAC formatted data and there were no issues so we all stepped back our DEF=
CON status expecting a nice transition=E2=80=A6

=20

*HOWEVER* what *ACTUALLY* happened was when the BBC did do their
changeover=
they embedded the streams inside an HLS wrapper which meant that everyones=
testing was voided and the HLS format hadn=E2=80=99t even been properly de=
fined at the time =E2=80=A6  so the BBC managed to break their support on
a=
n awful lot of manufacturers hardware and the manufacturers had to go all
o=
ut to try to catch and incredibly well greased pig! (i.e. develop code to
s=
upport a =E2=80=98standard=E2=80=99 that hadn=E2=80=99t even been fully
def=
ined at that stage.)

=20

The BBC services changeover was such a glorious clusterf*ck that they had
t=
o backtrack and re-instate the broadcast of MP3 streams whilst everyone
els=
e tried to work out what the hell they had done and what spec they were
run=
ning their encoders to as the new HLS test streams that we were being
hande=
d to test against were often themselves changing formats and specs from
one=
day to the next!

I agree BBC introduced the issue by changing the technology, although they
=
did give notice 9 months ago I believe.

It is a standards based stream supported by many vendors, Sonos seem to
hav=
e been slower than others to adopt.

After reading that post it looks more like a BBC issue than a Sonos one.
Us=
er comments also refer to problems with these non-standard streams on
other=
hardware like Pure Evoke and Ruark Audio too.=20

=20

Lots of the first page of comments in that thread also seem to relate to
an=
unrelated general outage of the mp3 streams which was a BBC issue and now =
fixed.

It's one of those 'just works' products and It's probably the only other
