Internet Radio Stations

Recommended Posts

I'm frustrated! Only internet stations I can seem to get streaming are playing Michael Bolten! Ugh!

Anyone have some good Alternative Stations? I'm talking Bush, Foo Fighters, Chevelle, Middle Class Rutt, Nirvana, Black Keys, etc....

How bout some Classic Rock?

I've been saving the playlists - (*.pls) and copying the http://<ipaddress>:<port> from notepad. Some work, some don't....

When it works - it usually is terrible station!

Any suggestions are appreciated!

So how do you add the stations to C4?

System has to be ... hmm think it was from 2.0 on. From there, internet radio has to be added via composer - same as for instance a cable network or FM radio.

From there it works similar to all media except that you're using URLs

Do take care to get correct streams: many station's webpages for instance open up a pop-up player. Using that sort of URL can cause the system to freeze or reboot.

Thanks, I guess my question really was, how do I find the URL for the radio station? Does it have to be a specific format?

Sorry, but I still don't get how I find the url for the stream... The documentation says "Channel: Add the URL for the channel. Note: Locate the URL of the MP3 stream that starts with http://... Instructions about how to do that are outside the scope of this document, but your Dealer should be able to help you set some up for you."

If I for example go to http://www.reciva.com, I find stations that I like. How do I know the url?

Of course they're going to say that. The Internet Radio stations they show are not their own stations.

They're out of their control.

The links may change by the provider, although I don't think it's all that often.

One of the services Reciva and others (like Grace) provide is keeping those links up to date.

That will not always work, per their own FAQ. They state that their database was not designed to pull url's for listening outside of their software website.

http://reciva-users.wikispot.org/websitelistening

I really have no idea nor do I care. I simply pulled-down a url, copy & pasted into Composer and hit play. 95% of the stations pre-loaded into Greenwave app are dead now...

Additionally, if OP can't figure this out by now, I strongly suggest having a dealer set-up a number of stations for you.

Which stream do I copy into HE for each station? It's been hit and miss for me.

PS. None played using VLC but it worked in Itunes. I've tried in HE with no luck
