Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Newbie question, sorry...

2010-10-06 Thread iulius99

I understand now that the problem is with the format of the station
streaming, AAC. Hopefully, later on, Logitech will issue a new firmware
release which fixes that.

Using the Remote Control I cutpaste these two links into Favorites
(which work fine on the PC):

http://radiotime.com/station/s_8334/Europa_FM_1067.aspx
http://www.europafm.ro/files/live.m3u

For the first link I get an error message and for the second link it
keeps waiting for the connection (the little circle form the right is
rotating) for hours. Toby10, are any of these links playing on your SB?


So the temporary solution would be to upgrade the SB firmware to 7.6
(can I get it back to 7.5 if necessary?) and to try again to run the
above mentioned links after being loaded into Favorites.

snarlydwarf said: 
It may be that you have to use a local server for AAC format stations
for now. Works fine on 7.6 with a local SBS.

I don't know how to do that...

This link works on my radio and running no server on my side:
http://opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s8334formats=aac,partnerId=16

I added the link to mysb.com.

I just use WinAmp for such URL extraction.  I click on .m3u, WinAmp
launches and begins playing the stream, double click on the stream
name.
The result is ShoutCast's URL for that stream.  The catch is that
ShoutCast may change that URL and your saved play link will be dead. 
:(

What is Frankurt standing for? Maybe there is the radio stations

What can I do?

http://radiotime.com/station/s_8334/Europa_FM_1067.aspx has the URL.

Works fine for me...  Right now it's playing Phil Collins...

(Not at all what I expected from a Romanian station...)

I tried this as well. First I get this error message on the Remote
Control from the PC:

Warning: This stream returned an unknown content type (text/html;
charset=utf-8). It may not play properly on your player.

Then I've found the link in the Favorites from the SB and I get this
message:
Error : No items found in playlist (and then the link).

Yor second link doesn't work either (it works ok on my PC)

Mine is Ver 7.5.1. Can I get 7.6? 
Can I change the Datacenter? 

P.S. I bought this for my wife to listen this station (70s and 80s
music)...

7.6 is a nightly snapshot: works fine for most people.  Only real
mishaps I've had recently have been my own fault.

You can download it from
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.6

 
 Can I change the Datacenter? 
 

Only by moving: they use DNS trickery to put you at the closest
datacenter.  For Europe, that's in Frankfurt.  It shouldn't make a whit
of difference in this case.  Sometimes one or another may be overloaded,
but my guess is that there were issues with 7.5 and AAC playback, so it
hides AAC stations on MySB.com.  Using a local server should get you
around that: it certainly does for me.

 
 P.S. I bought this for my wife to listen this station (70s and 80s
 music)...

Yes, not a bad station... not my cup of tea (being more a Peter Gabriel
than Phil Collins fan...), but surprising to hear so much
British/American music whenever I turn there.  Was expecting, well,
Romanian music.

It may be that you have to use a local server for AAC format stations
for now.  The Radio and Touch can play them back just fine (at least
with 7.6 builds) with no transcoding, but MySB.com may need to upgrade
to get it right.  (MySB.com always runs stuff based on the most recent
official release: stability is crucial for that service, more than
features.)

Yeah, RadioTime doesn't even list AAC streams on MySB because the older
players can't play them.
Usually if you cut  paste the correct AAC URL into MySB  Favorites it
will play fine from MySB.

Some how they are going to have to fix the AAC issue when using MySB. 
The new players can play AAC streams and more stations are streaming in
AAC.

There is no such list of everything it can play...

By default, Squeezeboxes use the radio stations listed at
http://www.radiotime.com/ as a sort of index.  (It's sort of like the
olden days Yahoo when they were a 'web index' instead of a poor search
engine then web portal and whatever they're trying to be now...)

Check there to see if your stations are listed...

But, that's still not a complete list and due to the chaos of the 'net,
they can't ever be totally complete.  But you can also add your own
stations to your favorites if you know the stream URL, and if you're
nice, you can request RadioTime add them so they'll be available for
others.

(And for what it's worth, yes, EuropaFM 106.7 from Romania plays fine on
the SB Radio in the US.  It's an AAC stream so Radio and Touch should
both work fine.)

You can also go to www.MySqueezeBox.com  Remote Control  Internet

No player even needs to be connected to MySB to use this Remote
