BBC local radio via iPlayer

Oh there's an idea. Cheers.


Is it doing it all the time?
I don't know. I only use iPlayer on the local when I miss the Howard
Leader programme. This week I was called out on an emergency dog walk
("The dogs are going mad!").

That audience will have extreme youth on their side, so less likely.

Was it here that someone remarked that BBC local radio via iPlayer had
annoying clicks every few seconds? It was somewhere anyway. Well, I've got
the Howard Leader programme on from BBC Lincs and it's clicking like mad.

Anyone else noticed a fault on iPlayer with local stations? The BBC
national radio channels play perfectly here, as does telly.

I have an internet radio. Only on the Local station (Shropshire) does it
regularly play 'artifacts', although i've not tried Hereford & Worcester /
WM yet.... Very annoying...

Bill,

If you're interested there is a Freeware program called "Total
Recorder"
- with this you could capture some of the iPlayer output as an MP3 and
e-mail it to the beeb along with your complaint. Perhaps hit the "big
boys" such as Feedback on Radio 4 so that your problem gets a wider
audience.

I was going to ask: Who at the BBC has this been reported to as yet?
Anyone?

If not, and it persists, I can see if I can nudge someone's elbow.
Although
I suspect they may know already and are looking at fixing it.

Slainte,

Jim

Trying on Leeds, Sheffield and York this evening, and last night, I
suspect recording from any of them and comparing the glitches that there
are about five or six different "glitch sounds", but they are the same
across those stations. As if they are being automatically randomly added.

I am wondering if the national stations have enough editors who can ensure
that songs are not all played in their entirety whereby people could
"reuse" them if they record them, but the local stations simply do not
have the staff so the BBC have used this method to prevent high quality
recordings?

Or it could just be a coincidence.

It is known about. I believe it's a faulty routing matrix at the
Internet ops. centre. It's being replaced as a matter of urgency.

Pity - KNOW Minnesotta (my wife's home town) comes in clear as a bell ;-).

I expect everybody but me knows this, but yesterday I found there is
an alternative to the iplayer stream.

www.radiofeeds.co.uk shows an aacPlus/AAC stream at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r2_aaclca.pls
There are streams for radio 1 through 6 plus a couple of others.
Mplayer handles them fine.

Absolutely no mention on the BBC stite of course. Now if they would
only use HTML5 for the TV......................

I couldn't listen to music amidst the turmoil of taking the dogs for a
walk. We spend most of time interacting with other dogs, and it's noisy.

Is this a description of Dogging? I've wondered what the term meant.


Probably if you're walking the dog round a car park
