The flac streams for
Rondo Classic - Klasu Pro and
Rondo Klasu
have each been off air for 5 days. The mp3 streams are OK.

I’ve unlisted the flac streams for now.

Has there been any update on the remaining SuperStereo stations. They still only play a track and then stop.

91

Hello @Oliver_Meyer , I’m trying to find out what’s changed. They used to work.

(The underlying issue is one that the Roon Devs are aware of)

92

I retested SuperStereo 1-7 FLAC radio using Lumin native FLAC radio playback. All except the first has end-of-stream flags inside the stream, which Roon cannot handle.

SuperStereo will require payment starting next month (I think) anyway.

93

Stations 1 3 4 and 5 now play without stopping again. (Thank you @Erik_Jego ). Also Superstereo will no longer be going to a payment system next month.

Uh-oh. Metadata has returned on those superstereo channels.

95

Superstereo have confirmed that their service will continue providing metadata as most (non-Roon) users want it.

As Roon cannot play more than one track without stopping, their streams will be removed from the live-radio database.

SuperStereo 1 - Yacht Rock has a 192k stream which is unaffected by this and will remain.

If users nevertheless want to add streams themselves to their my-live-radio, these are
SuperStereo 1 - Yacht Rock (96k stream) http://198.204.228.202:8160/flac
SuperStereo 2 - 50’s, 60’s http://198.204.228.202:8157/flac
SuperStereo 3 - Pop & Disco http://198.204.228.202:8539/flac
SuperStereo 4 - Ballads 80’s,90’s,00’s http://198.204.228.202:8030/flac
SuperStereo 5 - Adult Rock http://198.204.228.202:8511/canal1
SuperStereo 6 - Instrumental http://198.204.228.202:8157/flac6
SuperStereo 7 - Jazz http://198.204.228.202:8030/flac7

The Roon Devs have been informed.

Superstereo have provided some streams which do not contain metadata (thank you @Erik_Jego) and so not stop at the of each track. Thus
SuperStereo 1 - Yacht Rock
SuperStereo 3 - Pop & Disco
SuperStereo 4 - Ballads 80’s,90’s,00’s
now have cd quality streams again and appear in the database.

(Because of the efforts of @alec_eiffel , these streams will nevertheless show metadata in Roon)

All I get for any of the SuperStereo channels - either selecting from the database or manually adding the URLs given one post above - is AAC 192kbps. Am I missing something?

98

No, you’re not. Superstereo’s flac streams do not work in Roon.

We’re still waiting for Roon to fix the bug preventing the streams from stopping at the end of each track.

Some alternative streams worked for a while, but no more.

I should have posted a notice, sorry.

Edit. I need to change the description for the channels to remove the flac reference. I’ll do that now.

99

Thanks for the clarification Brian.

I’m a fan of Super Stereo. The 7 channels represent a wide spectrum of music. I think it’s a shame that you no longer present these stations in CD quality, but now with 192 AAC. It would be nice if you could change that again.
greetings

Courtesy of @Erik_Jego all Superstereo streams are streaming flac quality again in Roon. And courtesy of @alec_eiffel , they all show metadata too.
