Hello,

Can anyone help with a web radio station problem.

I am trying to connect to a local UK station called Two Lochs Radio

If I enter the following stream in VLC, or iTunes, it works. But it does not work when I enter it in Runeaudio.

http://149.255.59.164:8020/stream

(I have lots of other stations working, so it is not a connection, hardware or software problem, just some sort of problem with the link.)

Regards,

Hi boydwilluk,

your URL works perfect with my setup.

http://149.255.59.164:8020/stream

I also added "Two Loch Radio" to the Dirble station list.

if your radio does not work when you adding through the web GUI try to add it manually into /mnt/MPD/Webradio
so for this radio unpack this and copy into that folder

Two Lochs Radio.pls.7z

Hello Frank,

This is very strange!

I checked the entry in /mnt/MPD/Webradio. It is Two Lochs Radio.pls, and the contents are correct. But the station does not play.

I then tried your new entry on Dirble - still won't play.

I tried adding a new entry to the list, with a different title, but same URL - it still won't play.

Regards,

Boyd.

Hello Frank,

The station name displays correctly, the time circle advances, but there is no sound.

Hello Frank,

I had another attempt at fixing this problem today.

I discovered that if I use the following URL, Two Lochs Radio works on my Raspbery Pi / HiFiBerry / Runeaudio setup

http:149.255.59.164:8034/stream - this stream is in aacPlus/AAC format

the original stream that I could not get to work - http:149.255.59.164:8020/stream is in mp3 format.

Any suggestions as to why one stream works, but not the other?

Regards

I listened to him, to be honest, I didn't like it very much.
