Do the BlueSound products support adaptive streaming (HLS or DASH).

I work for NPO (Netherlands Public Broadcasting) and we are migrating to adaptive streaming for our live radio stations, in lieu of IceCast streaming.

A link like the following (below) will play on a Sonos device correctly but not on a BlueSound Node for example. It does play audio but each time after approx. 18 seconds enters into a loop (Notice: connection interrupted, retrying) and will start playing the same audio from the beginning.

Test stream:

Thanks for looking into this.

  No issues playing your "test stream" added as a custom station in TunIn.

  And it doesn't enter into a loop with the same audio playing over and over again?

  Hi Bjorn,

  I am looking into this issue with Walter, could you test this URL:

  https://npo.prd.cdn.bcms.kpn.com/0b1551e4d7c7735d4f9465a6151a9dbc_1675957036/live/npo/u/npo/nodrm/hlsradio_max/npo-radio-4/0/0/0/npo-radio-4.isml/playlist.m3u8

  That "should" be the faulty url that keeps playing in a loop.

  Best regards,
