If you can no longer play Ö÷²¥´óÐã live radio on your internet radio device, it is likely it was using the Shoutcast streaming technology, which the Ö÷²¥´óÐã no longer supports. We will continue to support Ö÷²¥´óÐã live radio online using HLS and DASH streaming technologies which will be available to the Ö÷²¥´óÐã’s distribution partners.Ìý
Why did Shoutcast support end?
Shoutcast is an older streaming technology and many connected radio devices in the UK no longer use it for Ö÷²¥´óÐã streams. Ending support for Shoutcast will enable us to focus on the two most popular technologies currently used – HLS and DASH. This will allow us to understand more about how and where our content is consumed and will help us improve the services we offer to our listeners. Manufacturers and radio aggregators were notified of the changes in May 2022. We also played a message informing of the changes on all Ö÷²¥´óÐã Shoutcast streams since November last year.Ìý
Can I get Ö÷²¥´óÐã live radio back on my Internet Radio device?
Please contact your manufacturer if you have lost Ö÷²¥´óÐã live radio to check if your device can be updated. If this is not possible, you still might be able to use the device by streaming live Ö÷²¥´óÐã radio from the Ö÷²¥´óÐã Sounds app on a smartphone or tablet (Bluetooth, Airplay or Chromecast).
For other ways of adapting a device to listen to Ö÷²¥´óÐã Sounds, please read our FAQ: How can I get Ö÷²¥´óÐã Sounds on my Hi-Fi?
What about Ö÷²¥´óÐã World Service?Ìý
Ö÷²¥´óÐã World Service will continue to be available using Shoutcast outside of the UK.
