Internet Radio "Unexpected Error" so no joy

[hshrader]

I have tried to add a couple of TuneIn URLs and get the following error. I have had success at adding URL’s when Internet Radio was first offered.

Would love a Christmas radio station.

Hi @hshrader,

Haven’t tried the Soma FM Christmas channel in particular but I did find the following from the URL Swap Meet thread:

Soma FM
The TuneIn pages default to a 33kbs stream. You can load the station art from TuneIn and then substitute a higher bit rate stream from:

“https://somafm.com/[name of station]/directstreamlinks.html”

I found the direct server 128kbs AAC streams to sound best.

My link was via TuneIn. Maybe that is a no go, but then when i tried from Soma directl, none worked! Same error as above.

Very much appreciate advice on best stream!

Not the same station but I have a few SomaFM working fine.

One example. Http://SomaFM.com/groovesalad130.pls

If you put the station name in andybobs link you get the complete list per station.

I added the link suggested but not recognized. Hmmm. One new link must work…

Try changing the H at the beginning to h, I did and it added perfectly.

@hifi_swlon Steve my iPad usually ends up putting in a word that completely changes the context of what I am trying to say! Two steps forward one step back I guess.
