You've installed the new version ? Does HLS work with the low-quality link ? Or not at all ?
I installed the new version and it doesn't work with either link. Very odd. I just installed VLC for Android and all the HLS links work fine in that, so there's nothing wrong with my connection or phone (LG V30+ on Android 9).

Yes, that is strange. I suggest you write to neutronmp@gmail.com perhaps they can give you a version with some logging enabled.

It must be just me who can't get it to work then. Very odd. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Neutron. I even deleted the Neutron.db file.

When I start it up, I have been able to get a couple of the low bitrate streams to work, but when I try others, it just sticks on "Loading".

These low-bitrate-streams that work are HLS-Streams ?

Yes. So Neutron obviously has no trouble with the protocol. The higher bitrate streams work fine (and instantaneously) in VLC though, just not in Neutron (not for me anyway).

So here's another one to try: La X mas música.

This one is referrer protected, meaning all http requests (playlist, chunklist and actual audio chunks) need a particular referer header, otherwise they will be rejected with a 403 http status code.

This particular HLS stream needs

Code: Select all

Referer: https://www.laxmasmusica.com/
URL:

Code: Select all

https://liveingesta360.cdnmedia.tv/laxlive/smil:live.smil/playlist.m3u8
Currently this gets:

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=48000
chunklist_b48000.m3u8
So chunk list is at

Code: Select all

https://liveingesta360.cdnmedia.tv/laxlive/smil:live.smil/chunklist_b48000.m3u8
Which gets, for example:

Code: Select all

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:11
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:6401
#EXTINF:10.031,
media-uw12z0fhl_b48000_6401.aac
#EXTINF:10.031,
media-uw12z0fhl_b48000_6402.aac
#EXTINF:10.031,
media-uw12z0fhl_b48000_6403.aac
Hence audio for next 11 stream seconds is at:

Code: Select all

https://liveingesta360.cdnmedia.tv/laxlive/smil:live.smil/media-uw12z0fhl_b48000_6401.aac
https://liveingesta360.cdnmedia.tv/laxlive/smil:live.smil/media-uw12z0fhl_b48000_6402.aac
https://liveingesta360.cdnmedia.tv/laxlive/smil:live.smil/media-uw12z0fhl_b48000_6403.aac
Rinse and repeat...

As stated every single requests needs the above mentioned Referer header but there's nowhere that I can find to set this header's value for a particular HLS stream.

Hope this helps

By the way, I've been testing with the BBC non-uk url and that doesn't seem to work either. It gets stuck indifinitely "LOADING ...". No error or audio.

Code: Select all

https://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/nonuk/sbr_low/llnw/bbc_6music.m3u8
Is there a particular way of setting this up. I'm trying setting this url in the address field of a new regular network stream. Maybe there's someting else I need to do?

oh, I'm on Android, Neutron 2.13.4 from May, 2, 2020.

This one generally works ( germany, windows and android ) - try with "http" not "https"

Well that turned up to be a geo-restriction issue.

Even this, low-quality, non-uk url does not play without a UK vpn connection from Spain.
It's certainly weird as this url works in a browset in a desktop connected to the same wifi. Go figure... at any rate this has nothing to do with Neutron.

The Referer header issue, still stands though. Posted all details with an example for La X Más Música above.

Thanks!
