Description of Issue

It has been a couple years since a Roon update deprecated the ability to stream chunked M3U8
radio streams. With more and more radio streams moving to the chunked m3u8 format, when will Roon acknowledge this problem and fix?

An m3u8 radio stream problem

Hi Derek, Happy to be a new subscriber for Roon. I have an issue to add m3u8 based internet radio which works under VLC. It seems that this is not new and has been asked by many before. Is there any update on the possible solution? If not, can Roon get it resolved quickly? Thanks, Mark

Hello @404 , Roon has issued updates for HLS streams (the latest I think being Roon 2.0.14 and ARC 1.0.35 are live!) but some streams still defeat it.

Is there a particular station that is giving problems?

Hey Brian the radio stream I am having trouble with is this:

CBS Music FM, Music FM CBS 93.9 FM, Seoul, South Korea | Free Internet Radio...

Sorry, that’s still a no go on that stream, and I can’t find an alternative.
