I haven't tried every entry in the index, but I get the same result for most of those I have tried.
The exceptions appear to be the "national" stations - Radio 1/2/3/4. For example,

The change seems to have been introduced on Saturday, 10/01/2014.

Thanks for the heads-up. It looks like the Beeb have broken get_player's live radio streaming for regional stations. At first glance it looks like it can be fixed for next release, but I don't have the full picture yet. Live streaming is dead last on my priority list, so no schedule. For now, you'll have to listen to Radio Nan Gaidheal by other means. The WMA stream is still running at:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/rng.asx

That supposedly will be replaced by a Shoutcast stream in the very near future.

You can also hack a temporary solution. In the get_player script, find the string "mobile-tablet-main" (there is only one instance) and replace it with "apple-ipad-hls", then use with in your get_player command.

I'm guessing catch-up content will be next then. They did say that radio would be first but anything is possible.

Does it still look like get_iplayer will be able to cope with the changeover when it does happen with radio and TV?

Thank you, Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms (select applicable title to suit) Pumpkin. Your suggested hack has been installed and appears to work just fine. :-)

It's a mystery. They've announced their general plan for radio (live and on-demand), but the devil will be in the details. Any problems only become visible after the BBC makes changes - this was a perfect example.

Get_iplayer has offered HLS streams for us to try with on-demand content for a while though and those seem to work fine so far (don't think I've seen any hlshd modes yet). And the live TV/radio streams that are already officially on iPlayer seem to work too. Isn't that a good sign?
