Shivam Paw Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 BBC Radio Stations Driver It's free and it uses the BBC streams that were provided earlier. It provides the following stations: * BBC Radio 1 * BBC Radio 2 * BBC Radio 3 * BBC Radio 4 * BBC Radio 4 Extra * BBC Radio 5 Live * BBC Radio 6 Music * BBC Radio Asian Network * BBC Radio 1 Xtra * BBC Radio World Service Obviously, if those streams go down the driver won't work (and therefore there is no guarantee of uptime) but for now, I believe it's the best option out there.

Shivam Paw Posted October 1, 2019 Author Share Posted October 1, 2019 As of version 25 (available at the same link as before) there is a programming command to allow you to programmatically play one of the stations in a room.

hank31980 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Shivam you are a star. I was so dissapointed recently when BBC pulled out of TuneIn as some of these Radio stations were configured as favourites. Now I have my Radio stations back. Well done that man!

Anthony Mckay Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Shivam, Many thanks for making this available. I have used Radio 4 on TuneIn as my morning alarm until they stopped providing it. I have successfully installed your driver and I can use it to select music to listen to and it all works. However, it does not appear in the list of source media that I can select from in the Wakeup/Goodnight agent. Do you know if this is possible and if so I'd be really grateful if you could point me in the right direction to configure it. I am using Composer Pro 2.10.6 Kind regards, Anthony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Wake Up begins and then using the programming command available to start a station a room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McB Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hi Thanks so much for doing this as I have lost all my favourite BBC stations. But I am a novice and don't know how to install your drivers.

russ_270 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Be great if there was a driver linking to the bbc sounds feeds. Systemline have had one for a wile with access to the catch up streaming to, and all at a higher bite rate than tune in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGWTech Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Great driver to get over the recent TuneIn BBC debacle... Is there any possibility of getting local BBC radio stations added as well? I appreciate there are a lot of them so might be a bit too much.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 BBC on TuneIn should be fixed currently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
