lob4475:. But what goes into icecast? I can't just use it as a sort of relay station for an existing stream?Kind of like whats described here: https://icecast.org/docs/icecast-2.4.1/config-file.html#relay. . .Sorry if i seem a bit confused.
Oh, sorry for not being more clear about my setup. It's basically:
HTTPS Internet stream ---> VLC for transcoding ---> Icecast for rebroadcasting ---> Tunein (with custom URL) on the B&O gear. (With the bold bit happening on my Raspberry pi.)
So VLC is used to bring in the stream from the outside world and convert it into something the B&O gear can understand, but VLC isn't a streamer, just a converter. So that converted stream is sent to icecast where it is re-streamed/broadcast and then the B&O gear can pick it up.
The icecast relay system you mentioned only works for icecast that you control at both ends - it's basically a mirroring system, it doesn't relay other content.

lob4475:I've been hit by this problem as well. I mostly use my essence mk1 in the kitchen and suddenly in august sometime i couldn't play my favourite stations (Denmarks Radios stations). I don't know for sure that its related to https and can't figure out exactly how to verify, but one way could be to just try your solution. I do have a qnap nas running at most hours, so i suppose i could install icecast on that? Anyway, any help would be appreciated.
So I may have a no-Rapberry-Pi-Needed solution for you . . .
I found a list of non-TLS URLs (i.e. http, not https) for Danish Radio at https://github.com/jprjr/internet-radio-streams/blob/master/generate_danishradio/
I added the URL for DR P2 as a custom URL in TuneIn (Using the TuneIn app on my phone, since this isn't available through thier web site.) The URL I added was:
http://live-icy.gss.dr.dk:8000/A/A04H.mp3
I saved it as a favorite named "DR P2 Direct". I rebooted my Essence and restarted the app on my phone, and the new "DR P2 Direct" stream showed up and played just fine.
If that doesn't work, try this one:
http://music.photonmfg.com:8000/DRP2.m3u
This is the same stream being re-streamed by my Raspberry Pi - so probably lower uptime than the official stream, LOL.

Now this is plain weird. Neither of them are working!I've checked twice. My Essence will still play some other stations, so its working - but it wont accept your custom streams.Now i am wondering if there is something wrong in my own setup. I can't really see it making a difference, but i'll try a cable directly to the router. I am also wondering if there is anything in the router setup that might have an influence (but again - why would it only impact certain stations?)I am deeply mystififed...
forgot to write that the custom channels are working fine in the tunein app. They just dont work on the essence

Try this one on the Essence again:
Before I had it restreaming the original DR P2 stream. Now it is transcoding the audio into a new stream with very simple audio parameters. Perhaps this will help? I have been forced to do the same for another station that works on everything but my B&O gear, and this same restreaming configuration makes it work for the B&O gear too.
My bad. Not enough coffee. Hadn't realised the stream URL was the same as before and thus already a favorite. I'll let myself out. Sorry.

Trying to make it easy for you, I seem to have made it harder, LOL.
The log files show a number of connections from an IP address in Copenhagen, but all coming from an iPhone. None of the access attempts from Copenhagen look like a B&O streamer.
The Copenhagen access lines look like this:
@TWG, If you could include me I appreciate it a lot.
B&O doesn’t have support in Brazil anymore.
Thanks.

Hi, does the updated firmware still work? Would you be willing to share?Best wishes,
