I have each of the BBC Radio urls I want to use downloaded to files, for example:

BBC_Radio_Two.m3u8

which contains:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=339200,CODECS="mp4a.40.2"
http://as-hls-uk-live.bbcfmt.hs.llnwd.net/pool_904/live/uk/bbc_radio_two/bbc_radio_two.isml/bbc_radio_two-audio%3d320000.norewind.m3u8

Do I simply copy the line starting with http:// and copy it into the Web Radio page of RA ? I thought that the actual file should be uploaded to RA somewhere - the question I had was where ?

Thanks

Chris

Paste this in the add Webradio form:

BBC Radio 2 320k

http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_radio_two.m3u8

BBC Radio 6 320k

http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/sbr_high/ak/bbc_6music.m3u8

Note: these only work to a UK IP address.

No one else has problems with UpNp?

When I add songs everything seems te be fine: Cover art is shown and it starts playing. No volume and it shows 0 bits 0 khz though, and after 2 seconds Rune tries te play the next song. This goes on until the playlist is finished, then I got the normal view with buttons.
I tried so far:
- Rebooting RPI several times
- Rebooting phone several times
- Reactivating UpNP with my credentials (with and without reboots in between)
- Wiping data from UpNp app and setting up again
- Switching other modules like bluetooth, wifi, etc. on and off
- Clearing playlist via terminal

Playing local content is fine.

My set up:
RPI 3 B+ connected via LAN with hifiberry dac+
Rune E3 with latest updates

Anyone any ideas what's happening? Thanks in advance.

Hello. |First of thanks for all the hard work you are doing. I do have a question.
How much would it cost me to have the local HDMI display UI rearranged, without having the Android or web UI change?
Im asking this, because of following. Not all of us want to run it as headless streamer. I personally would love to have it as a standalone player, with Android acting as a remote control. I would love to have following on the HDMI display:
- The elapsed time circle to be a bar, not round
- The cover art on one side (left or right)
- The song info with different properties (Name and Artist as is now, Album smaller font, Bitrate BIG because of eyesight, volume deselectable because of I2S DAC which comes later- this is already an option)
The sub menus without change. I really need the bitrate and song info with elapsed time only, as the rest can be displayed on the Android device.
From far away, the local HDMI is really hard to read. I did found where I can change the color of the bitrate to have it stand out a little bit more.
I can try to play with it more, but I think it will alter the webUI too much.

Thanks again for the hard work and thanks if you decide to answer.

Danny

P.S. I can mock up some picture with how it could look if interested.

Hi Rune,

This is not a very important issue, only cosmetic.

When I see the RAe3 renderer in Bubble UPnP server Media Renderers, it has no icon, only a "broken/image ?" symbol.
The competition, Chromecast Audio and HifiBerry, have nice designed device symbols/icons.
Same thing in the Bubble for Android controller, in the renderer selector the RPe3 has an generic Bubble UPnP icon, while the Chromecast and Hifiberry icons are coming thru.

So whenever you have the time...

Tried static IP and Google DNS no luck

It's my first time configuring upnp and it worked for a little time... Any ideas would be really welcome!

Edit: it seems that the problem is with Tidal as I can play music from my phone storage on the Pi via Linn Kazoo and Bubble upnp

Thanks,

I am having some problems after today's update. Radio streams without metadata do not show the station name as it used to, and after about 40 minutes the sound started to drop out. Rune then ground to a halt and would not respond at all until after a reboot via ssh.

I have to strenghten the problem. The webradio is played as a UPnP source with no chance to delete the playlist besides a "mpc clear".

OK, see that the convertplaylist.php script doesnt handle Web Radio playlists properly, only "normal" files....again not the biggest issue but.....

cmh714 wroteThe only thing that doesnt seem to want to work for me is a Play list with Web Radios in it. I restored all my settings and the only thing that came back in as NULL was my Web Radio playlist. It wouldnt delete vis the UI so I did so via commandline. Recreated my playlist and still was Null....

No biggie Thanks Rern.

Let me explain the problem in more detail and why I urgently need the former behaviour.

My webradios are in fact no mp3,aac,... streams from the internet but streams provided by my SAT-TV receiver, which is an UPnP-server, but provides all live and recorded content via a built-in Twonky server as fixed URLs describing "MPEG Transport Streams" (.ts) containing MPEG1 Layer 2 (.mp2) as an elementary stream. Some of the radio stations modelled as .ts contain AC3 as a second elementary stream. MPD is using ffmpeg to examine the transport stream and some seconds later RuneAudio begins to play the .mp2 part. All of these webradios have coverarts attached and using RuneAudio they can be added, deleted, replaced from/to playlists. This was the situation until the last update. But today I have to clear the playlist using a bash command ("mpc clear"). The behaviour to play radio is no more "family friendly".

btw.: I tried to investigate the problem setting the log_level in mpd.conf to "verbose". But: Where can I find the mpd log-file? The one in /var/log is very old.

I am afraid your fix this morning (29200405) for Web Radios appearing as UPnP DO NOT fix my problem (reported 1st April) with web radio stations being sourced via MininServer.

Also the order of items on the System page seems to have been reversed, with Features at the top and Environment at the bottom.

With latest update my upnp/Tidal problems are gone! I can play everything again! Weird thing is that upnp only works when I leave the tidal credits blank.

One more ''problem'' I can only up to 320kbps...
On any other device I can play Flac files (Tidal hifi tier). It does not matter if I set upnp to lossless, high or low, it just behaves the same.

Try disable UPnP before playing a WebRadio.
R+R e3 identifies streams as WebRadio or UPnP by their URLs. If they contain private IPs, they're UPnP.

Someone who knows how to detect UPnP state, play/pause/stop, please advise.

Is there a reason to relay your Webradios via MininServer?

The reordering is intentional.

UPnP is (and was) disabled in system menu.

I found the logs of mpd. mpd is controlled by systemd, therefore you see the mpd logs using

journalctl -u mpd.service

Just to confirm - Webradio still does not display the station name when it is playing if no metadata is contained in the stream. The station name is there when the station is added to the playlist, but it vanishes when play is pressed.

Try this:

sed -i 's/if \(\[\[ gatewaynet ==\)/if systemctl -q is-active upmpdcli \&\& \1/' /srv/http/bash/status.sh
