Assigning Radio stations from Tunein

Great timing as I just ran into this exact issue about 2 weeks ago and @msgreenf helped me to figure it out so I can share. For starters I believe you need to have created yours favorites in TuneIn for whatever stations you want.  Then in Composer HE when in programming on the Actions side select the room you are controlling, then in "Select Media"  click on the little box with 3 dots and when that pop up box comes up select "Broadcast Audio" to find your TuneIn selection.  It was completely counterintuitive compared to Pandora.  An alternative would be to use the free IHeartRadio driver as those you can create normal favorites on a keypad like a Pandora station. 

See a pic below for the TuneIn example and hopefully this helps.

I think you are correct and thankfully they have a free subscription option.  I was just checking but I could have sworn when I initially logged in on the Control4 side it gave me a code that I then had to then link to TuneIn's website under Account Settings and Devices (see below).

Yep done that but for the life of me can’t get anything to show up in favourites. The only thing I’m thinking is that you need to create a tunein account 1st? 

This might help but here is what is in the documentation tab under the TuneIn driver:

ACTIONS ===============================================================

Clear Search History
   This action will clear the search history.

Sync Favorites for Programming
   This action will synchronize the favorite stations with the tunein.com
   account that the device is joined with.  This will be necessary only 
   when programming is used to play a favorite station that the user 
   marked as a favorite using the tunein.com website using their 
   webbrowser rather than through the Control4 interface.

Update Status
   This action will force an update of the Status property.  Use this 
   action if you would like to check the current status.  See the 
   documentation for the Status property for more details.

Drop
   This action will drop this device from the tunein.com account that
   it is currently joined with.  Please remember that the user can also
   drop the device themselves by logging into their tunein.com account.

Join
   This action will join this device to the tunein.com account specified
   by the Username and Password properties, and drop it from any other 
   account it may currently be joined with.  It is advised that you clear
   the Username and Password properties after successfully joining the
   device.  Please remember that the user can join the device to their
   tunein.com account themselves, using a web browser and the registration
   code obtained from the Settings menu.
