Description of Issue
I’m unable to play Capital Radio Classical stream with Roon. I can play it without problems with Apple music however when I copy the URL from Apple Music to create a new station in Roon it rejects it. I’m able to play many other stations without problems. Here’s the URL: https://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/ClassicalStreamAAC.pls
Hello @Guy_Russell , this is Capradio Music Classical Stream and it exists in our database.
The reason your link doesn’t work is because the playlist consists of a number of https streams with port numbers. There is bug in Live Radio at the moment where that situation causes problems. The work round is to use http.
Yes I get those however neither of what look like the classical streams will play. Only the news and jazz links work. Also, the classical link shows a much lower bit rate than what I’m used to getting with Cap Radio classical previously even though it doesn’t play.
No idea, interestingly the site itself will play the 48k aac stream.
The .pls stream you first posted is a 48k one. Tunein has the same mp3 and aac streams too. I’ve also checked other streaming sites but found nothing else. Maybe the site changed its audio server provider.
I agree that for a classical station the quality is not as high as most.
Cap Radio told me they don’t have a 128 classical stream but do have a 96. It’s not in a format that I can play with Roon though although I’m waiting for some clarification of this. I’ll let you know.
