   Yes. .I had a similar issue,  - all my icecast streams except classic FM   
   stopped working.   
   I only now listen to classic FM   
      
   Its the same with the telly. More an more woke shite on UK public   
   service channels. Dont watch telly any more.   
      
   The stream urls are available as m3u8  but the format that they use   
   needs something like VLC to read.   
      
   Now this *may* work for you with VLC installed:

   urfm/bbc_radio_fourfm.isml/bbc_radio_fourfm-audio%3d96000.norewind.m3u8   
      
   If it does, the URLs for the other BBC stations are available :

   You wont get the content information you used to get with icecast, but   
   the audio should play.   
      
   Expect it to be a shade lumpy till it gets the buffering right
