WebRadio

Yes. I did it by editing the myradiostations.xml file in the Users\Public\Plugins\WebRadio folder. Insert the following into the file:

Code:
<Station>

    <Type>Radio</Type>

    <Title>Swedish Test</Title>

    <Icon>

    </Icon>

    <Genre>

    </Genre>

    <Target>http://sverigesradio.se/topsy/direkt/164.mp3</Target>

    <HomeURL>

    </HomeURL>

    <StreamType>mp3</StreamType>

    <Country />

    <State />

    <City>

    </City>

    <CountryCode />

    <BitRate>

    </BitRate>

</Station>

This needs to be between the <Stations> and </Stations> tags.

You can see there are some other fields you can enter, I just did the basics and it seems to work.

Martin and Jaggy may have a better way when they check in.

I think that mikeh49 has shown the best way to add an existing URL but there are also ways to add m3u lists and pls files, if you are more comfortable with those. You can also add this <Station> block to UserMenu.xml if it is something you play often.

Thanks a bunch, I'll try it tonight.

Works like a charm! I've been having antenna troubles, but now I don't :-)

BTW, is there any way to get rid of the SHOUTcast Top 500?

Looks like you can delete items from the ShoutcastGenre.xml file to manage what you see in the Shoutcast sub-menu. If you look into the various xml files you can figure out the menu structure and customize as you wish.

IIRC, an earlier version of WebRadio included a GUI editor for this, but I don't know if it works with the latest versions. Hasn't been a big issue for me.

I've had a look around the XML files, but what I really want to do is get rid of the whole Shoutcast menu item, leaving just my own stations. But maybe it's hardwired?

Looks like the main menu is in radiostations.xml. You could try putting your station's xml section (what you put in myradiostations.xml) into this file. You can delete sections here to shorten the main menu. Or, put the block in usermenu.xml as Martin suggested; it would probably appear below My Radio Favourites. Usermenu.xml might be better in case of an update, the developers may not change usermenu, but might change radiostations. Just guessing.

Hm, I haven't got a radiostations.xml, only MyRadioStations.xml, ShoutcastGBPVR.xml and UserMenu.xml.

Then again, I don't have a <WebRadio> entry in config.xml either. Maybe I need to fiddle with that?

If you create a file called RadioStation.xml with nothing in it except

Code:
<Stations>

</Stations>

Your UserMenu.xml will be the only ones that shows up and as mikeh wrote, UserMenu.xml won't be overwritten during upgrades. Actually. RadioStations.xml is not part of the base install so it will only be overwritten if you run the advanced WebRadio install.

I've tried to create both RadioStation.xml and RadioStations.xml, but Shoutcast still shows up. Should I install over with the advanced install, and what is that exactly?
