Not sure where to report problems with Global Mode (which is working brilliantly for me other than this, so thanks Orcon!), so I'm reporting it here.

Global Mode seems to have introduced problems with the Windows Media streams of national (ie UK national) BBC radio stations, commonly used by Internet-connected radios, other Internet radio services (such as TuneIn Radio), etc.

For example with BBC Radio 2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r2.asx will be fetched first - from the XML you can see that Global Mode has worked (<PARAM NAME="GEO" VALUE="UK" />), but unfortunately the streams emanating from wmlive-acl.bbc.co.uk (CNAME wmlive-acl.bbc.net.uk) are also geoblocked and Global Mode isn't doing anything with them. *

So, long story short: Could Global Mode handle wmlive-acl.bbc.net.uk too, please?

Cheers!

* Unfortunately the BBC doesn't seem to have a consistent configuration applied, so occasionally you'll connect and the stream will work, but most of the time it doesn't! Also, they do actually allow international streaming (for Windows Media without Global Mode the .asx file will have <PARAM NAME="GEO" VALUE="INTL" /> and the streams come from wmlive-nonacl.bbc.net.uk), but these aren't as good as they sometimes block certain programmes from streaming internationally.
