Kinoma Notes

NPR technical difficulties: Solved!*

Recently I announced that NPR had made some server changes that required Kinoma Player users to change their streaming preferences in order to listen to NPR podcasts.

We’ve been working with NPR to solve the problem, and I’m happy to announce that NPR podcasts will now play regardless of your streaming preferences.

So why the asterisk in the title? As you know if you’ve used other products, one of Kinoma Player’s exclusive features is that it can stream podcasts that other players can only download.

As another side-effect of NPR’s recent changes, their podcasts can no longer be streamed. This prevents Kinoma Player’s ability to resume playback, and to allow instant access even to not-yet-downloaded parts of podcasts. We’ll continue to work with NPR to restore their streamability.
