Web Radio 3.3

[BigMoose]

I'm trying to get this to work on 1.5.33 on my laptop (not my main pvr machine yet) but it just throws exception errors when I select settings in npvr or when I select web radio from the main menu... I've installed v3.3 and the add ons but cant work out what I've done wrong (or not done at all). This one from when I try web radio from the main menu:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Could you upload your logs too. Also do/did you have GBPVR installed on that laptop?

Martin

[BigMoose]

Here's the logs - not that I can see much in them. Yes, it did have GBPVR installed, recently removed it - some remnants kicking about in the nevnz folder.

Logs always help, at least I confirm you are running 64 bit. See if removing/renaming HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\devnz\ key helps.

Thanks, that worked!

[BigMoose]

Installed it on the main PVR box along with VLC and I'm loving this plugin! Works brilliantly! Thanks so much for the work that's gone into this!

If you download the WebRadio add-on it will create WebRadio.xml where you can change the player and a MyRadioStations.xml where you can add your own stations by direct stream or via a local pls/m3u file. I'd bet some of these expanded internet services show friskradio and it would be a matter of adding the station to your favourites.

If you install VLC (recommended) then WebRadio will automatically use it as an external player.

Martin

Hey Martin,

Hate to be nagging but I'm guessing there's somekind of bug in the installer
sinds there is no WebRadio.xml or MyRadioStations.xml created.
I've checked the output that the installer generates and also scanned
the "c:\program files\nPVR"-directory & the "c:\users\public\nPVR"-directory.

Also if I right click in the main screen in nPVR and browse to "Plugins" --> "-Web Radio",
the 'Set Favourite" & "Set Cache"-button are greyed out.

Another thing which is strange is that, in the settings-menu, it says
"c:\Users\Public\NPBR\Plugins/WebRadio/MyRadioStations.xml". Mind the forward slashes.
But this line actually works sinds it creates a MyRadioStations.xml when I add a station to my favourite.

I've tried to download the source-code that is provided in the wiki page, to find out where the WebRadio.xml should be located and what is possible to write in it, but it is restricted with a password.

So for now, for me, it is not possible to select winamp as default player nore is it possible to add my own stations to the plugin except for the GBPVR ones.

Although if I install VLC, it actually uses VLC, which is amazing, but it does not display any information about the station that is listened to. Is this normal or could my setup be the problem?

I'm using a (for now) standard win7 x86 ultimate and have only added the weather & webradio plugin to nPVR. Also no tuners are used at the moment.

If I look at the logs, there aren't any error messages generated.

Question is, where should the WebRadio.xml be stored?
I'm guessing in the "C:\Users\Public\NPVR\Plugins\WebRadio\"-directory
So I tried I've created a WebRadio.xml with the following code:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<WebRadio>
  <StationFile>.\media\WebRadio\RadioStations.xml</StationFile>
  <IconDirectory>.\media\RadioLogos</IconDirectory>
  <player>c:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe</player>
</WebRadio>

Still, no luck, it keeps using vlc.

Thx in advance,
Nick

You're not being a pain. The xml file should be in c:\users\public\nPVR\Plugins\WebRadio but as I wrote I don't know if I ported the Winamp support from v2. I will have a look next time I am in the code.

Most Shoutcast stations use mp3 and in v3 they now are played with an internal player so now playing data should be showing most of time. Is this one of the streams you want to play http://www.friskyradio.com/frisky.m3u the now playing info shows for me.

Note you would need to specify the proper folder for Winamp that doesn't look right for 64 bit.

Martin

[kindt nick]

Holy crap, that was a fast response.

Yes, indeed, if I point to "http://www.friskyradio.com/frisky.m3u", in MyRadioStations.xml,
it uses the internal player and provides the information.
Problem is, in that m3u file, there are several backup servers added:

Code:

http://scfire-dtc-aa03.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1015
http://205.188.215.229:8008
http://scfire-mtc-aa03.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1015
...

If the first one is down, then the fun is over,
since the internal player does not seek for an alternative in the m3u file.

And if you convert the file to a pls file and save it in GBPVR's Net Radio folder,
then it gives the error "No external player configured".
It that situation and off course when vlc is not installed.

That's one reason why I would like to use the external player function.
Another one is that friskyradio also provides an aac+ link,
which is more stable but not compatible with the internal player.

As for the the reference to the winamp executeble, it actually is correct.
I'm using an x86 based system.

Thx,
Nick

[mvallevand]

Ok, I tried and Winamp does launch and play the stream but there is a .NET error so it isn't fully ported. I guess you will have to live with vlc for the AAC stream for the time being and making multiple links.
