Kinoma Notes

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.
