[IDEA] BBC Sounds via upmpdcli?

[RonSR]

I've been digging a bit further and had a look in /etc/upmpdcli.conf, the settings for the BBC Sounds plugin are there:

Code:

# Upmpdcli BBC Sounds plugin parameters

# Bogus user name variable.
#bbcuser = bugsbunny
# Past days in BBC Sounds catalog listing.
#bbcprogrammedays = 30

Also I'm currently using a MoOde supplied upmpd plugin to stream Qobuz over upnp. I think the BBC Sounds one works in a similar way, so it's looking like it might be do-able, if I only had a bit more Linux knowledge...

Is the music content different from the BBC radio stations?

Yes, it's like iPlayer for Radio, there's a huge repository of previous BBC programmes and podcasts as well as the live feeds.
I'm not sure exactly what the plugin gives access to, but from the config file entries it looks like at least the last 30 day's programmes.
