    Thanks. but that does`nt work, I think that is a REALPALYER link.

    I need the streaming link similar to the Radio 7 one below, if you enter this into the url on the MCE WEBMEDIA plugin it plays radio 7....

    I need the radio 2 version of this...

     

    Cheers

    I don't think radio 1 to radio 4 are available in windows media format. I have them working under "radio" using the realplayer links which work reasonably well.

    Yeah Whiteys right, radio 1-5 don't stream via wma just real audio, apprently due to "server costs".

    It's a real shame as it would be nice to have these all under WebMedia.

    Sorry

    It's probably due to historically the bbc have used real audio (which charges for server licences) but have changed to windows server, why change something that works (apart from to please us!)
