The stream links are apparently outdated again -- for mpd, I've modified my own little script, but TL;DR:
playlist="http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_$1_mf_p"and then modify the station names in the select using any of
STATIONS=(
radio1 radio1xtra radio2 radio3
radio4fm radio4lw radio4extra
radio5live 6music asianet
cymru foyle nangaidheal scotlandfm
ulster walesmw
)Found stream urls in this blog post.
Lately for streaming radio in the UK I've had the change the URL to
playlist="http://stream.live.vc.bbcmedia.co.uk/bbc_$1"
