Hi Lawrence

Thanks for this, both the ABC streaming site and ffplay.

I was able to listen to the two classical streams via browser or VLC. Also a detailed programme listing for their classic FM stream.�� http://www.abc.net.au/classic/music-listings/��

I tried to use ffplay, but couldn't decipher the syntax and options to use it successfully. Can you let me know the command to use, and/or a user-friendly manual or Howto for ffplay. A way of finding direct-streaming URLs without using Pandora or a similar service would also be welcome.

Thankls again

Rod

Currently listening to Sydney��s TripleJ radio station using the ffplay
utility (part of FFmpeg). For anybody else who wants to listen without
having to go through a web browser, ABC helpfully provide a list of
direct-streaming URLs for their stations at
<https://radio.abc.net.au/help/streams>.

ffplay reports some interesting additional details about the stream:

�� Metadata:

�� icy-notice2�� : SHOUTcast DNAS/posix(linux x64) v2.4.7.256<BR>

In other words, they seem to be streaming from a Linux server, but
their recommendation is for a client that doesn��t run on Linux...
