BBC Radio 320k Stream MPD Error - xthursdayx - 11-14-2018 Sorry to fill up the forum with posts, Tim I'm trying to play one of the preinstalled BBC Radio 320k stations but am getting this error: Quote:MPD error Any ideas? Thanks! RE: BBC Radio 320k Stream MPD Error - BryceJ - 11-14-2018 I believe that you have to be in the UK to use the 320K streams. RE: BBC Radio 320k Stream MPD Error - Tim Curtis - 11-14-2018 Correct, the BBC geo-fences their nice 320K streams and they will not play outside of UK etc :-( -Tim RE: BBC Radio 320k Stream MPD Error - xthursdayx - 11-15-2018 (11-14-2018, 11:08 PM)Tim Curtis Wrote: Correct, the BBC geo-fences their nice 320K streams and they will not play outside of UK etc :-( Dang... uncool, BBC. Strangely, I just tried to get around this by using selective routing on my AsusWRT Merlin router to route my RaspberyPi through a London-based VPN server, but while moOde tells me that its external IP is indeed the expected London-based IP I'm still getting the same error within the moOde player. RE: BBC Radio 320k Stream MPD Error - Tim Curtis - 11-15-2018 Interesting network hack :-) My Router is an older RT-N66U with one of Merlin's awesome firmwares from back then. What model Router are u using? I wonder how BBC has implemented geo-fencing. Knowing that would probably help with finding a way to get access to the streams. RE: BBC Radio 320k Stream MPD Error - xthursdayx - 11-15-2018 I'm using an Asus RT-AC87U running the most recent AsusWRT Merlin firmware. If you click on the VPN section through the Merlin interface you can add OpenVPN clients (in addition to setting up a OpenVPN server connection to connect to your own home network). I have an private VPN account so just added one of their UK based servers as a client and chose to only route my RPi through it. Seems like BBC would just use the client's IP, but if this isn't working I guess it must be something else. RE: BBC Radio 320k Stream MPD Error - Tim Curtis - 11-15-2018 I'm sure its more sophisticated that just client IP. In any case there are prolly whole sites devoted to VPN type things. Mind if I ping you sometime about your 87U and Merlin? I had to shelve an AC88U with stock ASUS f/w cuz of dual-band issues. I reverted to my trusty old N66U running Merlin f/w. I still have the 88 but have not kept up with Merlin's firmwares so maybe its time to reload it and try it out again. -Tim RE: BBC Radio 320k Stream MPD Error - xthursdayx - 11-15-2018 (11-15-2018, 02:17 AM)Tim Curtis Wrote: Mind if I ping you sometime about your 87U and Merlin? Sure, no problem. In terms of BBC, I'd just assumed it was IP only because I remember being able to watch shows on their iPlayer with only VPN routing in the past. Maybe they've gotten more sophisticated since then though. RE: BBC Radio 320k Stream MPD Error - Tim Curtis - 11-15-2018 Cool. When u get a moment mark your OP as SOLVED Thx |
