Hi @BrianW , I just spotted that JBRadio is back broadcasting.
Unfortunately, I’ve tried adding the URLs both to the radio directory and Roon directly and it comes up no station found, which is a shame.
It plays fine in VLC, so I don’t think this is a GEO location issue (I’m in the UK).
I tried looking at the network info in my browser, but nothing came up that helps.
Would you mind having a look to see if you can find an alternative working source? thanks
The URLs are:
https://maggie.torontocast.com:8076/mp3
https://maggie.torontocast.com:8076/aac
Cheers
Nick

The problem is that Roon can’t deal with specified port numbers on https URLs. This is a long standing problem.
I couldn’t find alternative streams and also scanned alternative http ports on the server but none are JB Radio.
Fortunately, hi res audio is advertising a flac stream, so I’ve added that!
Edit. Ahh - I think the way it’s adding metadata is going to cause Roon to hiccup. Need to check
Edit2 yes, but I’ve switched to an alternative non-metadata stream.

Thanks Brian, tested and confirmed new stream is working.
They don’t make it easy for us do they!

Well, that didn’t last long. The flac stream is down.

Flac streams still down. As I can’t find workable aac or mp3 streams, I’ll take station off again.
Shame.
I’ll keep monitoring
I’ve setup a Rocket Audio Streamer relay at home to overcome Roon’s HTTPS:port limitation.
JB Radio 2 now available in 320kbps AAC glory, with metadata.

BTW @brianW if you are aware of other stations with HTTPS:port limitations, I can relay them as well. The only limit is a maximum of 100 listeners.

thanks - you might come to regret that offer though!
Hold on - I realize the stream doesn’t always start… currently fixing this…
Mmmm I don’t understand why but it can take two or three clicks on “Play Now” to start JB Radio 2 stream in Roon. DO you see this also at your end ? Might be a network thing on my side as relay servers are on the same LAN as my Roon server…

I’ve just tried 3 times, with moving to somewhere else each time, and had no problems.

Working first ‘click’ here - takes around 5 seconds to start

yeah the stream is “on demand” so expect a couple of seconds until it starts.

Well, well, well. Flac stream is back again.
Metadata identification service is back, with clickable links to artist, album, song…
