Missing RadioTime stations from WebRadio

[philly_phenom]

There are a couple stations that I have in my RadioTime presets, but I can't seem to find in the RadioTime listsings under the WebRadio plugin.

It seems that both (WPHT & KYW) are owned by CBS radio - are those stations not available? I can listen to them via Media Center...

I'm not sure how the plugin pulls data to get station listings, so it could be that those stations aren't compatible somehow.

One other question - how do I set my local area for the plugin? It seems the "local" stations are for Baltimore - I live between Atlantic City & Philadelphia...

The RadioTime WebService API dictates what you see. For "Local" it probably is related to a reverse trace route. I think you could access specific RadioTime pages by manually adding the URL to a WebRadio playlist but I'd have to confirm this.

Some stations (CBS is notorious) like to provide a flash interface to obfuscate the URL. I found links to your two stations here http://www.thestreamcenter.com/ and these can be added to WebRadio manually.

Hello, I'm with RadioTime and can work with someone to update the RadioTime plug-in for access to more stations. It just requires a little info on the partnerID used. You can use support at radiotime.com

Here's a sample menu item to get you directly to Philadelphia stations

Another alternative for changing the home locality is by longitude and latitude. (Here's one for Galloway Township NJ)
