Dear All,
Volumio is terrific. Only problem is to add Webradio station in m3u format. I tried all thinkable ways. Only way which is working to paste the m3u URI into the WEBRADIO folder. It works but without a decent title to display. Browsing through the list I have to select a line like m3u7774.m3u
Create a new file called BNR.m3u or BNR.m3u and the URI as newline inside won’t work
Any suggestions?
Making radio m3u’s can be a pain in the butt…
I got the to work by connecting via SSH;
cd /var/lib/mpd/music/WEBRADIO
nano BNR.m3u
Then in nano paste the uri/url and press enter 3 times creating 3 blank new lines after the url.
The problem and the reason why this works is because of the character coding, windows osx and linux all use a little different character coding. Enter in one coding is not the same in an other coding.
Big silence. Put 3 x Enter after the URI, edit with Notepad+m in Linux format. Not any result.
You can also open the m3u file in an editor, copy the stream URL and paste it into a pls file like this:
[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://stream-URL
Title1=stream-name
Length1=-1
Version=2
Works fine with all stations I tried so far, all of them get displayed in the webradio overview with the names that are defined in the pls file as “Title1”.
