subject: BBC Radio on omxplayer

For many months I've been occsionally tuning in (from California...)
to Radio 2, last time on Monday for the Blues Show.  I had a standard
omxplayer bash script to do this.  Today I went to listen to Immelda May,
but all I could get was "Have a Nice Day!"

I used my laptop and Firefox to actually hear the show, but that's much
less convenient.  It looks like that is using MPEG-DASH, which I gather
is continuous short chunks with individual URLs.  I don't know if omxplayer
handles this?  I gather (from the meagre info on the BBC help page) that
mp3 and so on should still be available, but how do I find the actual
streams?  (Don't remember how I found it before -- suspect it was from
the Firefox Page Info, but the "blob" found there doesn't work now.)

Any expertise appreciated.
