Internet Radio Ogg/Flac support [Delivered in 1.5]

[GeoffD (Geoff Dedman)]

A number of internet radio stations, including all of the Absolute Radio channels are available in ~1mb Ogg/Flac. Is there any reason why this is not supported?

@danny, @brian

Is there a support for OGG-FLAC internet radio coming? Thanks

[danny (Danny Dulai)]

example streams?

[brian (Brian Luczkiewicz)]

Yes, it’s on a TODO list. No ETA.

Important streams adopting it would bump up the priority, that’s why @danny is asking.

@danny

At the moment I’ve added a few below known to stream OGG-FLAC:

According to their website Radio Paradise is coming with a flac stream. Their new apps for android and ios already support their flac-stream.

FLAC and OGG/FLAC support was released in Roon 1.5 today.

Radio Paradise is, for the moment, left behind because they use a non-standard mechanism for this

[Dick_Vliek]

Ah bummer, i’ll hang on to ‘for the moment’.

Some FLAC stations that work for me are in this thread.
