I have two different headless pi systems on my desk in front of
me that can play all the BBC streams intended for UK reception.
As far as I know there is no log on or anything just playing a
stream.
 

The login was to use I-player

I'm unsure what you're meaning by that as it applies to me. I don't
use and have not been anywhere near I-Player unless it gets reflected
across my IP address by our SkyQ box. But even then, Its not been
used this year at least.

This is the stream for Radio 4.

That's a 320k stream.
 

Its also M3u8 which is not recognised by many command line programs
on a headless Pi

I've got two headless pi that play the stream in what way are they
significantly different from command line players apart from the
obvious.
