My use case is Danish national broadcaster having a 192kbps hls/aac stream. Which is the highest quality of the streams they provide(they also provide 192kbps shoutcast MP3 stream which is what I use with room)
It would be nice to be able to select these streams from DR (the national broadcaster) in the radio directory or at least be able manually add them
Hello @Hasse_Hagen_Johansen , Roon have recently upgraded a part of their internet radio software with the result that these DR station streams will now play.
I’ve updated the stations accordingly.
(The final stream is vbr aac lc which seems to settle down at 96k)
It seems like the mp3 streams also have stopped working (seems like Roon waits forever for the stream to start). This also happens after a RoonServer restart(thought it might be some state because I tried the HLS stream)
Hi Brian. Thanks for the update. It plays the stream now, but it is a little strange. It is like it plays the stream from current time ~ -30 minutes. I tried both the icecast streams and the aac/hls and it is the same problem for all of them(but maybe it is because it will use the aac/hls for all of them like last time?)
I tried this evening again at 18.30 there is news but they announced the clock to be 18.00
I also see the 30min delay, and looking at the underlying chunks they indeed have a timestamp of 30 mins before current. Wierd in itself, but utterly confusing to me is that if I play the HLS stream through VLC, all is OK. I need to investigate further…
There’s another small wrinkle, but I can deal with it.
The non HLS streams are fine and play on time; however if they are added as .m3u files, Roon doesn’t properly deal with them if there’s an HLS stream. You always end up with the HLS stream even if you choose the mp3.
I’ll adjust the URLs so things should work. It’ll take me a while though as there are lots of DR programmes.
EDIT.
I think there will only be confusion if these 30 minute delayed streams exist - I’ll hide them for now until Roon fixes the problem.
Is this issue still current? I have located an existing ticket and have linked it to this thread, but I just wanted to double-check that this is still reproducible for you at the present time.
