BBCRadioProxy is a simple Javascript HTTP mini-server designed work around the tokenised URLs for BBC's web streams of their radio stations, for use with MPD.
The server provides a proxied facade URI for existing streams and:
- Extracts the tokenised URI from the pls file provided by the BBC
- Returns with an HTTP 302 redirect to the tokenised URI
Run the server with NodeJS:
$ node BBCRadioProxy [ port number to listen to [ ip to listen on] ]
By default, the proxy listens on all interfaces on port 8000.
Update your BBC radio playlists to point at http://[your mpd server's ip]/[stationname].
So, for example, my entry for Radio 1 looks like this:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1, BBC - BBC Radio 1
http://192.168.1.238:8000/r1
Right now, the proxy knows about:
| Station | Proxy path |
|---|---|
| BBC Radio 1 | /r1 |
| BBC Radio 2 | /r2 |
| BBC Radio 3 | /r3 |
| BBC Radio 4 | /r4 |
| BBC Radio 5Live | /r5 |
| BBC Radio 5Live Sports Extra | /r5se |
| BBC Radio 6Music | /r6 |
