Do somebody have any idea or the same issue with other channels?

Hi sphere
I have a problem, maybe you can help me.
I use "OpenELEC Stable - Generic i386 Version:3.0.6" and your add-on.
Some Radiostations didn't work.
Error Log here:
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=56874
At the Line 255 you see starting the issue.
Please can you please have a look, if is the fault come from your addon?
The Radiostation ABC Lounge stream url http://listen.radionomy.com/abc-lounge works normally.
Thank you in advance for your effort.
Lejla

Hi,

I can reproduce this issue. Seems like the Player needs to get and follow an HTTP Redirect (from http://listen.radionomy.com/abc-lounge to http://streaming206.radionomy.com/ABC-Lounge) which doesn't happen.

Hi sphere
Thank you for your effort and testing issue.
I have creating manually a .m3u and .strm file without success.
Do you know maybe a solution, for playing radio station abc-lounge?

\\EDIT:
I found solution, it works with the IP Address:
31.12.68.207/ABC-Lounge

Hi there,

any news regarding the stream redirection issue?
I have the same problem as Lejla with several radionomy.com stations. Unfortunately using the IP doesn't work for me.

First off... lol @ this...

Your fucking App smashed my whole RaspBMC. Fuck you for your App. Upload it as a beta when you don't know what you do!

What a cunt.

Anway... to my actual request. I am trying to play Radio 1 through the app, but having selected it and clicked to play, it will start playing Radio Jackie instead (see screenshot) it appears to be failing to actually play that, and Radio 4, then just skipping to the first one it can play.

I created a new version (2.3.0) which is able to play these (asx-based) playlists, thanks for reporting!

Here is the full changelog:

Code:

2.3.0 (29.11.2013)
    - added playback for asx playlists (e.g. BBC)
    - added blayback for xml playlists
    - improved station search

The update will be available through the official xbmc.org add-on repository shortly.
Or you can download it here if you can't wait: Download Version 2.3.0

Hey sphere, you know roughly how long until update ?

[sphere]

No. But you can download it here if you can't wait: Download Version 2.3.0

Thanks, this is now playing Radio 1 perfectly.

I've now managed to get stuck again... I'm trying to add BBC London as a custom station - as it cannot be found by the search.

I've tried http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/bbclondon.asx, which doesn't play. The confusing thing is, I've also tried adding the Radio 1 URL http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r1.asx (by looking back through the log) as a custom station - but this also doesn't play. So what appears to be the same URL plays fine when selecting it from the "Local Stations" folder, but not if you add it as a custom station.

I've also tried to add Kiss 100 as another station and this won't play either.

I'm obviously struggling to get the URL correct when adding a custom station - what exactly is the best way to find this once you've reached the radio station's website and the link to listen live?

Logfile if required:

The difference is that the add-on only resolves a playlist (.ASX is a playlist!) when the URL is coming via the API. A custom stations URL directly passed to the XBMC player.

To solve your issue you can just open .ASX file with any text editor (its similar to an .XML), then you can see "entry"-nodes, within these nodes there are at least one "real" streal URLs. You need to use this URL for a custom station.

Hi, I just installed the radio plugin on XBMC on Windows. Pressing any link in the listing resulted in a "script failed addon.py" error. The log details are below. Any help is appreciated. This is the latest version (2.3.0).

Thanks!

Gotcha. Opened the .asx, copied a (ridiculously long) stream URL into my_stations - there was no way I was going to type that all out - and it's working great now, thanks.

I'm trying to add another one now though, http://www.sovereignfm.com/

I'm struggling to get the URL again. Viewing source on the page the radio plays on, gives the following, which has a couple of likely looking links. I tried downloading the m3u8 file and looking for a URL in there (like I did for the .asx previously) but that didn't work. I can see an .xpsf line there, which I assume I can also do the same as I did with the .asx file with - but I don't know how to amend that to a URL to download the .xpsf file in the first place...

I, also am struggling to set up Custom Stations.

http://cpr.streamguys.net/wvxu.pls is the URL of the stream I want and this will play fine when opened in VLC. However, I get the following error when attempting to open a custom station with the same url.

I am in the US. Does it matter that the plugin is using radio_de?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Same for you: You should not add a playlist URL, you need a station URL!
Just open the .PLS file with any text editor and grab a random line starting with "File".
In your case you need to use "http://cpr.streamguys.net/wvxu" as stream URL (taken from the PLS file).
