Hello,
Audio-only feed for BBC News
With all the recent Covid news and now war in Ukraine, we seem to have the BBC News channel playing on a TV an awful lot. But wandering around the house during the day I would like to be able to listen to the TV sound only over either my LMS/Picoreplayer system or my Sonos portable (Roam) wifi speaker.
Can anyone help with a way to get the audio-only stream from either the BBC Iplayer feed, another web feed or from my internal stream that comes from my TV streaming box (Vbox)? The URL for the feed from my local box looks like this:
http://192.168.xx.xx:55555/ChannelList.m3u8 for all channels
and then for the news channel:
These feeds play back fine in VLC and Kodi but I just want the audio to stream to a speaker! But I've tried putting the URL into the Sonos interface (adding a radio station) and it just plays crackles and pops and LMS just doesn't accept the URL at all, unless perhaps there's a plugin that I don't know about.
Can anyone help please?
Please don't suggest:
Bluetooth - this does not have the range around the house and it would cut the sound from the TV speaker so my wife would complain!
BBC World Service radio - as great as it might be, it's currently broadcasting a programme about cookery - not exactly breaking news! And I would like to be able to continue listening to the same programme on TV and elsewhere in the house.
Many thanks for reading.
