Hi Alfred!
These direct streaming links can be used in any web browser. Have you tried to play the same radio station link outside Roon in order to verify global access?

Hi Björn,
Yes I did. If I start https://live1.sr.se/p2-flac?latency=low in Google Chrome there’s no problem at all. The stream starts immediately. Stop and restarting (many, many times) is no problem.
EDIT:
In Roon, when the stream does not start I see the following error in de Roon log:
Warn: [internetradio] Got HTTP Status 998 from URL:https://live1.sr.se/p2-flac?latency=low
Hi Alfred!
My new friend ChatGPT suggests that it’s a problem with the chain through the Sveriges Radio’s load balancers. The https://live1.sr.se/*-stream will be pointing to either https://edge1.sr.se/* or https://edge2.sr.se/*
Should we suggest the guys to implement both these targets as primary and secondary streaming url’s for the same radio station? If edge1 fails, maybe edge2 will be present and respond diligenty?
The third streaming link could finally be the one to the load balancer, which is today the primary url, which sometimes seem to behave strange.
Like this:
- https://edge1.sr.se/p2-flac?latency=low
- https://edge2.sr.se/p2-flac?latency=low
- https://live1.sr.se/p2-flac?latency=low
Or maybe keep the load balancer (which might do the job) as the primary url, and then test the two alternative target url’s in order:
- https://live1.sr.se/p2-flac?latency=low
- https://edge1.sr.se/p2-flac?latency=low
- https://edge2.sr.se/p2-flac?latency=low
What do you think?
Kind regards,
Björn in Stockholm
It’s not load-balancing, it’s CDN.
Which means that you will generally always get the same node.
(Re-booting often fixes node issues but that’s not working here - I believe it’s something else).
Anyway, I have already tried using edge1’s flac and that produced problems too.
However, I haven’t tried the option where both are available, so for completeness, I have added edge1 and edge2 and removed live1.
As the streams have changed in Roon, the station will work for now - let’s see if any problems emerge later…
(I haven’t used the low latency choice as that makes no difference to the content and still produced problems).
These P2 posts need their own thread (non-support - keep that one clean). Created and moved accordingly.
Thanks, but for all Swedish domestic listeners we would very much like to not be some 15-20 seconds behind the original broadcasting. How can we make you willing to reinsert the low latency parameter? That eased up a lot for us!
BR Björn
You are quite right - I hadn’t noticed that before.
No problem - I’ve added the query latency param back again.
I’ll do the other Sveriges stations too later.

P2 no longer plays for me.
That’s strange. For me it is the first day that I can start the stream on any moment I want. The whole day the P2 stream starts immediately. @BrianW I thought you did a terrific job and I planned to complement you. 
I am happy on this moment.
@BrianW, Sorry to hear that you have problems now. How is this possible. This is a strange issue.
Indeed - especially as the station is now working again.
