Can Amarok be configured to stream the live BBC Radio streams (I am in the UK)?

The add-on script BBC that can be obtained from the Script Manager doesn't work. In rhythmbox it is simply a case of adding the radio stream url. For example BBC Radio 7:

http://bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r7.asx

Thanks for any advice.

playlist -> add stream -> paste link should work (if it doesn't you might wish to file a bug)

fyi - I can't play the link in Amarok (git version) nor sMplayer but VLC plays it fine - of course I'm am not in UK so that could be the problem

Where on earth did you get that link from? I'm after all the radio links since the BBC script stopped working yonks ago. Despite all my googling efforts I only appear to be able get iplayer stuff...

Edit:

Okay, just changing the number worked for radio 3 and 4 (without which I simply cannot live) but not for radio 5 (not so important, just odd). Oh, I haven't tried it on amarok but it works just fine with clementine.

You can get all the BBC Radio stream addresses from:

What player are you using?

Brilliant, thanks!

I use clementine, qt based and easy on resources PLUS all my special multimedia keys work out of the box with it

Clementine easy on resources? You are kidding, aren't you.

Well, it is compared to amarok but obviously not to mpd
