The streaming format of the BBC stations is not supported with the beoplayer.

B&O should narrow down their list of stations in their app.

Or better still:

1. broaden their support, and
2. add informative messages for when they recieve a stream they do not support

I just use TuneIn radio (even bought the app) on my iPad connected to my BS8. Never really start the BeoPlayer app. It's yet another software product from B&O which is substandard, even though they outsourced development!

Until the latest update it worked, and the Beeb has not changed the streaming format.

The App itself does not need to support the format, iOS5 does.

I think the links the App uses must be wrong somehow.

Thanks for the idea Tim !

I checked my other radio app but it did not have the BBC, so I downloaded a new app, called "tunein radio", and checked its access to BBC2 and voila !!

it worked :-)

Yep, see my post above. LOL. I even bought the Pro version as it's an app that works, without fault. Perhaps B&O should outsource development to reliable app developers such as these guys?

sorry mate! I missed seeing your post

BeoPlayer is just about the only app I have deleted from my iGear. 🙁

I can, however, give "two thumbs up" to the TuneIn Radio app mentioned above.

Just this past Sunday, wifey and I were desperate to get a live feed of an NFL game not being televised in our area. A little googling and I came up with this particular app as a possibility.

Wifey said: "Wait a minute, I have that app!"

In less than 30 seconds and a few clicks, we had our game!

BTW guys, one tip from me is to get that Airfoil speakers app. It's superb. You can hijack audio from any source on your computer, then use your iPhone/iPad as a remote speaker (or, if it's docked, the dock speaker). I use this system to push Flash-based password controlled radio (for my football team) to my BS8, via the iPad, using Airfoil speaker app.

However, you could also do the same for your favourite radio station. Use your laptop to control the feed and push the sound to your iPhone/iPad via Airfoil speakers.

Yes, I have been expermienting with it on and off; as well as AirFlick.

Ideally it should be built into the Apple infrastructure
