BBC London, BBC Three Counties Radio, BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio 4 Extra, the list will get longer soon 😞 ...

it's going to be quite irritating if the BBC keep changing the pool id!

... I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but since different and random 8-digit numbers are now being used for "pool_IDs" of the affected radio streams, what's stopping them from changing those random numbers ever so often? Be prepared...

I used the method visible in this comment

  1. Install from the CWS:

  2. If your stream has been "affected", formulate the lstn.lv-based manifest URI (to be found here) and then load it in your browser, e.g.

https://lstn.lv/bbcradio.m3u8?station=bbc_radio_fourfm&bitrate=96000 =>

Thank you guys for all this info! I've been using an old win app -> iTunes -> streaming to wake up to BBC 5 Live for years and today the alarm didn't ring because the stream URL could not be found. Now @Vangelis66 comment makes me apprehensive that this renaming of pools will continue happening making the alarm concept rather inapplicable.

BBC 6 Music does not work, too, at least outside of the UK.

Same for the Isle of Man. (Technically outside the UK but in the British Isles, I can get it on DAB and I pay a BBC licence fee.)

@OTRman999

The BBC licence fee was abolished in 1971, which is the reason why radio is now hived off to "BBC Sounds" instead of being wrapped up with television on BBC iPlayer.

As there is no fee to pay, i.e. no income for them, they save money by reducing the bitrate, but they also save on the cost of bandwidth by discouraging listening, by making it more difficult to listen online, hence the repeated changes of url.

Currently, they are also getting worked-up because some commercial services re-package the BBC streams and relay them overseas with commercials included, to make money from them, something the BBC itself is banned from doing. So the latest round of url changes is not aimed at us but is, rather, designed to break those commercial services which are making revenue from injecting ads into the streams.

This is a largely futile game of wack-a-mole, but at least we are only inconvenienced for 24 hours, until we can figure out the new urls. Some people will lose out entirely, if they bought hardware which needed the now dead stream links. At least we can modify our scripts. Many consumers won't know how to.

Any previous link which contains a reference to 'pool_900' or 'pool_904' is now a dead link, as every station now has its own individual 'pool' number.

This is excellent, thank you - oddly Radio 2 and 3 still have the old 'pool_904' pool number.

I am by no means technical - but this list has been great.

I have a Loxone home automation system with the audio server that uses TuneIn.....sadly it means the BBC channels are not available. The installer used a URL to get a few favourite BBC channels working last year - but they have stopped working.

Using the above list I have got my beloved 5 Live back! Does anyone know if these streams will work when the channel is playing live sport commentary? Previously I got an automated message about rights and couldn't hear the football etc.

I assumed it was official but after looking up some DNS records it looks like a generic CDN. The fact that "lstn.lv" itself resolves to "bbc.co.uk" is the only reason to think that it primarily exists for the use of the BBC.

Have a look for yourself:
https://ipinfo.io/AS48254
https://reverseip.domaintools.com/search/?q=lstn.lv

Regardless... if we can't trust the BBC to maintain reliable URLs for in-country and out-of-country access maybe it makes sense to run a community maintained version? Changing API endpoints is annoying and it would mean that it only has to be updated by a few people for the benefit of all. I don't know the full technical details or if it can be done entirely through DNS (to avoid any bandwidth issues) but it's an interesting idea.

hepto commented Jan 25, 2025

Yep, I also looked up where it is hosted and didn't seem like a BBC service, hence asking.

maybe it makes sense to run a community maintained version?

100% agree, but would like to check the provenence of it! Last thing I want is the maintainer to bait and switch us and all of a sudden the m3u8 starts pointing to something else ...

I've also noticed that the URLs used by Roon are different again, and are also m3u8 playlists that provide the resolved streaming URLs. Wonder where they got them from and if they are more static?

For example, they have 6 Music as

https://a.files.bbci.co.uk/ms6/live//audio/simulcast/hls/nonuk/pc_hd_abr_v2/aks/bbc_6music.m3u8

... which currently provides ...

https://as-hls-ww-live.akamaized.net/pool_81827798/live/ww/bbc_6music/bbc_6music.isml/bbc_6music-audio%3d96000.norewind.m3u8.

Not sure how to extract all the URLs from the Roon library, or how to change the bitrate with these links, will keep digging. It's possible that the lstn.lv service is just proxying these? πŸ€”

@zenodotus280
Copy link

If it is an official proxy then they have set a bitrate that can't be changed and have restricted it to UK listeners. For both those reasons I can't use it. The use of "pool_12345" in the other links is giving "ephemeral URLS" vibes and I don't want to have to deal with that either.

How nice it would be to just point at "http://transmit.bbc.co.uk/hls/320/radio_two.m3u8" and never think about it again :D

If this is technically possible I am willing to set this up and maintain it for my own project (bbcradiorelay.net).

@hepto

hepto commented Jan 25, 2025

I'm pretty sure the bbci.co.uk URLs in Roon are BBC official/maintained, and I've got a bit further.

https://www.whois.com/whois/bbci.co.uk

Looks like there are two versions - a nonuk version that resolves to a 96k stream and a uk version that gives 320k.

https://a.files.bbci.co.uk/ms6/live//audio/simulcast/hls/nonuk/pc_hd_abr_v2/aks/bbc_6music.m3u8

https://a.files.bbci.co.uk/ms6/live//audio/simulcast/hls/uk/pc_hd_abr_v2/aks/bbc_6music.m3u8

But, that UID also gives that 'ephemeral' vibe, so not sure it particularly solves it, though these links are from a few years ago so more static than the pool versions. But I'm on your team about wanting some static 'point and forget' URLs!

Will see if I can find a library of all the bbci.co.uk URLs.

EDIT: looks like Github redacts the UID in the URL so my comment might not make sense! See this link for more details on the bbci.co.uk URLs. https://community.roonlabs.com/t/changes-to-bbc-radio-station-streaming/227246/53

I've been thinking about this a bit more and I think any proper solution can't be discussed in public. At best, it just accelerates a fix by the BBC or at worst legal action. My current position is that this is all hobbyist-level, non-commercial tinkering within the realm "Fair Use" but I haven't validated that yet.

@Vangelis66 - if you're interested in talking about this further let me know and we can exchange contact info. I am a very green scripter/programmer but this problem interests me and I am going to experiment with a solution regardless if only for teaching myself how it all works.
