flac streaming

Should RA on a new PI be able to stream flac audio streams? Can anyone tell me if this stream plays on their setup?

Hi Mike,

you have to find the stream url and add this to the webradios.

The file from
http://network.absoluteradio.co.uk/core/audio/oggflac/live.pls?service=ac

[playlist]
numberofentries=1
File1=http://icecast.timlradio.co.uk/nonuk.ogg
Title1=Absolute Classic Rock
Length1=-1

gives us this
http://icecast.timlradio.co.uk/nonuk.ogg
stream url.

Or go the easy way and search in Dirble to add your stations:

Frank,

thanks again.

How do you search in the dirble dbase? i had tried that first and it never turned up results. in fact, it will only search in my NAS media dbase even if im on the dirble page. i wasnt able to find a setting that would alter where the search tool (top right of page) would search.

thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike,

the search does not work for Dirble yet.
Your absoluteradio for example plays rock music.
So go to the genre rock on the dirble page.
Then use CTRL-F to search for absolute.

The search will be improved.
