BBC Hereford & Worcester missing

[thatsnotmynaim]

Seems to be a few stations missing, for me "BBC Hereford & Worcester" which is a local BBC station. I can find 1 mention of it but it looks like a catchup show and it won't play anyway. Do I need to do something my end or is it the WiiM end?

Can't you save it once added?

I can but it's not under BBC Radio where they'll look, it's under Preset Content and not with a friendly name,first world issues, but just not as finished as I'd have thought, if you have a list of BBC Local radio stations why not have them all in there?!

LMS with BBC Sounds Plugin - they are all there

No Cheshire?

Don't they come under Stoke?!?!

 

[Achim1811]

But can they do it on a cold and wet night at Stoke?

Depending on where you live in Cheshire you would listen to BBC local radio from Stoke, Merseyside or Manchester (or not at all in my case).

When you add it as a Network Stream, you can edit the name there, then save it as a Preset. Unless it’s changed, using the bbc menu in the Wiim home app might onky get you the 48kbps international streams - the link I gave you should deliver much better quality at 320Kbps

Raise a ticket to WiiM under help&feedback section in the Wiim Home app asking them to review the list and add the ones you think are missing

This is what I meant!
Not used radio myself, but I was sure @Brantome had given this advice before.

What about BBC Radio 1-6, are those available in a higher bitrate?
I think those were geofenced last I knew (I'm in the U.S.), but the BBC also seems to change things rather more frequently than I can keep track of.

Yeah, but I think they are still geofenced although I seem to recall someone getting the 320Kbps streams from the WiiM app list
