HQ Radio Streams

[chowseytp 0]

I'm new to Emby, but have most things working well. 

The only thing I can't work out is how to create a strm file in order to play from high quality radio. My strm file works well for the general low quality stream, but the format 

 

This is the URL of the stream I can't get to work, it's direct from the BBC and uses HLS 

http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_6music.m3u8

There is only 1 URL in the m3u8 file. It plays direct just fine on my mobile, and works in VLC but I can't get it to run through Emby. 

 

The low quality 128kb stream works just fine in a strm file though 

http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_6music_mf_p

 

I CAN get the m3u8 to run if I pretend it's a video though, but then Emby decides to transcode it. 

Any ideas?
