Why would there be one of those? ;)

Seriously though, … since I'm in the UK I'm not sure of an easy way to
find out! Perhaps somebody outside the UK could try the URI I posted, to
see if it works. That's what the iPhone app fetches, and I'm not sure if
the “am I in the UK” logic happens before or after that fetch! It might
be that there are several different streams, which are chosen based on
geolocation.

The URI I posted,
http://bbcwsen-lh.akamaihd.net/i/WSEIEUK_1@189911/master.m3u8 , is the
first one which is fetched. There is immediately a subsequent fetch of
http://bbcwsen-lh.akamaihd.net/i/WSEIEUK_1@189911/index_64_a-p.m3u8 .
The presence of “UK” in both those suggests that they might be location
specific (or is it “EU” then K! Who knows!), but I don't have the means
to determine what the BBC app would be fetching if its geolocation
decided it is somewhere else in the world! Anybody with than iOS device
with the BBC iPlayer Radio app installed, and access to the logs of a
web proxy which the iOS device can be configured to point at is able to
find out easily what is fetched by iDevices in other parts of the world,
and unless the BBC felt like making public the URIs I guess compiling a
list is perhaps the best we can do :/
