I am reopening the attention on several long lasting issues of Roon’s Live Radio playing engine.
HLS has now become a very popular protocol for Internet Radios. Unfortunately, Roon can’t play so called HLS “.m4s” chuncks. This is prevent interesting stations to be added such as the FLAC/HD version of SomaFM Groove Salad, and others.
Another old bug is that Roon stops playing FLAC streams using so called “EOS/BOS” flags, several examples are listed in this thread.
There are other issues reported by our Live Radio overlord @BrianW in this thread at least (incl. inconsistent behaviour between Roon and the tester of the Live Radio management app).
Maybe it’s time for our Live Radio engine to get a refresh
