Live Radio: Add non-URL station Mother Earth Radio

Could you please add Mother Earth Radio (Hi-Res music streaming - best quality webradio on Earth!), Hi-Res FLAC radio out of Germany.

This station is available in many streamers (even Volumio!) but not in Roon.

The station does not have a URL for the streams. A lot of free stations do not have URLs but are available in streaming boxes.

Could someone at Roon just take a look at the free stations available on Volumio, Linn, and other streaming boxes and update the list in Roon accordingly?

Is anyone at Roon even maintaining the Live Radio list?

Thank you for your help.

@BrianW, I found some streaming URLs.

Mother earth seems to already be in Roon with Hi Res streams.

Thanks. When I was on the Live Radio page it did not show up in the search.

It seems to show up in the general search, however.

When I go to “Browse Live Radio” and use the Filter option, Roon does not see any radio stations containing “Mother”.

Mother Earth radio also did not show up when I looked for German stations.

I’m glad it’s findable.

Perhaps a search dedicated to radio stations would help. Using Filter in the Browse Live Radio screen should be searching all the live radio stations, but apparently it does not.

Thanks for all the help!

Also, is there a way to have Roon search for Hi Res radio stations?

I believe the filter only looks at “recently played” stations or station in you library in some cases anyway (it’s hit or miss). So the general search is the one to use for finding new stations.

I do not see a way to search for Hi-Res stations (this also depends or your definition of “Hi-Res”).

If you find stations you like and want to either provide a URL or want the curators to look for a higher res stream let us know in a new thread (so we can keep track of it).

Correct, it only filters on whatever stations are currently shown.

And as you found (along with others, see Bring back the filter funnel please), only the main, top right, magnifying glass works.

Searching for hires will show flac streams 96k and over (there are only 8)

Searching for flac does (almost) what you think. Unfortunately, Roon only shows the first 50, and there are actually over 100. There doesn’t seem to be a way of getting Roon to display a useful subset.

Thanks again. Hopefully Live Radio will get a feature refresh at some point.
