Please report station errors here

Hello @Michael_Graf , I can play pure FM Berlin without problems.

Antenne 1 Neckarburg Rock & Pop was not in our database. I have added it for you, please check if OK.

HD Radio - Country
Plays for about 5 minutes then ā€œno longer availableā€. Happens every time I start it up. Thank you.

I can reproduce this. It seems to happen around the time of the matadata changing. If I run VLC at the same time, that falters, but recovers.

Hiccups in a radio stream do cause Roon to stop. This is a known issue. However, Iā€™ll mention it again to the Devs.

The good: HDR (Hard Dance Radio) is now broadcasting 8 stations instead of 6
http://harddanceradio.ddns.is74.ru:8000/status-json.xsl
The bad: no more FLAC and stations are now in .OGG format that Roon apparently cannot cope with. Streams play fine in VLC and carry metadata.
I have removed HDR from the metadata service.

Yes, I noticed this morning. Itā€™s not unusual for one to be down, but not all of them. A note says (in Russian)
ā€œBroadcasting server on prevention!
Temporary broadcast links below"

So perhaps situation is not permanent.

Ogg container format is OK, itā€™s the vorbis that Roon canā€™t deal with.

I have looked for working non-vorbis streams for the HDR stations without success. Thus I am unlisting all of them for now.

In slow time Iā€™ll set up the templates for the new stations ready for when Roon can deal with them.

Smooth Jazz 24/7. Used to work, great station, please fix/check if url may have moved

Hello @Jeremy_E , welcome to live radio, Iā€™ve changed the URL, try now.

Ahh, Smooth Jazz 24/7 is US only, is that the reason? Iā€™ve updated the database.

Updates for local Chicago, Illinois, USA public stations, note the https

WDCB Jazz (90.9 FM)
https://wdcb-ice.streamguys1.com/wdcb128

WBEZ (91.5 FM)
https://wbez.iad.streamguys1.com/wbezlinear and
https://stream.wbez.org/wbezlinear

WFMT (98.7 FM)
https://wfmt.streamguys1.com/main-source
https://stream.wfmt.com/main-source

This was discovered when troubleshooting this issue.

Hello @stubaggs , I hadnā€™t come across your issue with https before. I donā€™t know why you had problems with them.

I use http if thatā€™s the URL I first find, or drop back to http when Roon has a problem with https (there is a long standing bug). In these cases I was able to change to https (although I did have a problem with two, itā€™s sorted)

I hope these stations work for you now.

Thanks, all good, that was quick !.

I just edited to added another alternate for WFMT as well.

I did know of these, but they caused problems for the Roon tester, so werenā€™t used in their https forms. However, they are now all there for you.

Unfortunately, itā€™s not always the case that we can circumvent the issues and http has to be used.

The stream information for BR Klassik is not up to date. BR Klassik has upgraded the stream speeds. Also, there is one stream missing: BR Klassik has 5 streams/URLā€™s while Roon is reporting just four streams/URLā€™s.


Hello @Alfred_van_Hoorn , thank you for the information.

Actually, there are just three streams - the m3u playlists include the direct streams. Also the high bit-rate is strange - Roon identifies it as 128 in the stream tester which is used in initially adding the stream to the database, but correctly sees it as 256 in the signal path. I have corrected it.

E-classical http://onair.family977.com.tw:8000/live.mp3 is no longer valid, but I can stream directly from their website. kindly assist.

Hello @Ivan_Lin , the stream has changed to one which requires a token, provided by the website. I am afraid that Roon cannot deal with that.

I have been unable to find an alternative, and so I have unlisted the site.

Thank you for the reply, much appreciated.

Canā€™t find KROQ 106.7, Los Angeles anymore. Is it gone? Thx!
