Hi folks,

I have been using streamWriter to record whole shows from BBC Scotland and BBC Wales for a
few years now, and this week, both streams said that "on or after March 22, the way your device
receives BBC will stop working. Please consult your device manufacturer."

I contacted them, and got a web page which comes up with a "play" button, and not a URL
I can feed to streamWriter. That's not what I asked for, and I am not certain I can get
it from them, but will probably try to ask again.

What is the best way to figure this out? I can examine the web page code, and I can
snoop the wire to see what connections the page makes after I hit the "play" button,
but neither is especially easy. If someone has another idea to find the URLs to try,
I'd love to hear them.

I will try to brute-force this if necessary, and will share anything I come up with here
if I have success.

Thanks,
Rob Thurlow

The BBC have created new URLs but are holding them pretty close to their chests, my guess is that they are releasing only to internet radio equipment providers in exchange for committments to licensing controls.

They have been leaked however and appear on Github:

https://gist.github.com/bpsib/67089b959e4fa898af69fea59ad74bc3

I've only ever used the stream browser to access stations and have no idea how or whether I can add them manually myself.

Is there a way that a user can add a new stream index so that others may use it?

URLs also copied below in case the Github URL fails or disappears:
