I'm probably not understanding the problem here and I'm probably about to talk nonsense as a result But... I have two different headless pi systems on my desk in front of me that can play all the BBC streams intended for UK reception. As far as I know there is no log on or anything just playing a stream. This is the stream for Radio 4. http://as-hls-uk-live.akamaized.net/pool_904/live/uk/bbc_radio_fourlw/bbc_radio_fourlw.isml/bbc_radio_fourlw-audio%3d320000.norewind.m3u8 That's a 320k stream. My understanding is that if you change anywhere it says 'uk' to be 'ww' then you get the international stream. You can find the complete set at: http://www.radiofeeds.co.uk/ One of the players I'm testing at this moment is the RoPieee player for headless pi, it's free but it's a locked system with no command line. I tell it what to play by choosing from a list held by Minimserver running on a nas and an iPad. It works great but no command line. The other system is similar in function but is not locked down and is just mpd installed on a pi, I've not tried command line because I use it as described above but there is the normal Linux command line, I think it's likely you could persuade it do as you want. Sorry to have wasted your time, I'll go back under my stone now. Bob. --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: Agency HUB, Dunedin - New Zealand | Fido<>Usenet Gateway (3:770/3) .
