Webradio on Volumio 2

Help and Support Help
1

Dear all,

I started testing Volumio 2 (rel. 0.843), and I am wondering if there is an easy way to import/copy my legacy custom webradio files (.m3u and .pls).
(How and where are radio streams now stored?)

In case that info was posted already, I must have missed it. Sorry!

Thanks,
Flo

Hello all,

I wondering myself the same question!

Did you find the way to copy your webradios into the right folder ?

Let me know if you did!

hi,
same problem here, I do not even have acces to my pi volumio on my local network like in the 1.55, but I can connect by ssh and web ui… please help

Yes you can, there is an option in My Web Radio (menu on the right side), just enter name and url.

5

yes but I can’t add radio by this way, don’t work… I’ve got M3u file from my favorite radio on 1.55, it will be good if I may use it…

6

you have to open the m3u file and copy the url out of it.
Importing an .m3u or .pls is not possible, but you could add it to “Suggest a feature” in the Volumio Development section.

Ok it’s good ! :stuck_out_tongue:

Not so easy to add webradios now but it’s ok :stuck_out_tongue:

:arrow_right: Feel free to share your webradios (.m3u, .pls) in this post! :mrgreen:

ok I will try this tomorow, I’ll keep you in touch.

ps: if you want to import massive amount of radios this method will be very very long and boring :unamused:

finally work fine for me :wink:

Agree, so nothing to stop you to file an enhancement request in https://github.com/volumio/Volumio2/issues

11

The manual way… that will be a lot of work.
What I would like to do is uploading my existing and favourite .pls / .m3u files that contain the information for the radio streams…

12

I’ve submitted a feature request https://volumio.org/forum/import-pls-and-m3u-radio-stream-files-volumio2-t4130.html but probably it would find more attention on github…

Hello!
Could’nt get this stream to be played:
audio.scdn.arkena.com/11008/fran … dfi128.mp3
when i used the ‘add webradio’ command in ‘My Web Radios’.

I finally got it playing by creating ‘FranceInter.pls’ file in /data/INTERNAL/

[playlist] numberofentries=1 Title1=France Inter File1=http://audio.scdn.arkena.com/11008/franceinter-midfi128.mp3

I then used the ‘Add Webradio’ command with the Url: INTERNAL/FranceInter.pls

I can now launch the radio from ‘My Web Radios’

Volumio 0.928 on Raspberry Pi 2 with HifiBerry Digi+
Let me know if it helped.

I also edited ‘/data/favourites/my-web-radio’ to mass add my legacy .pls files:

[
  {
    "service": "webradio",
    "name": "France Inter",
    "uri": "INTERNAL/FranceInter.pls"
  },
  {
    "service": "webradio",
    "name": "FIP",
    "uri": "INTERNAL/FIP.pls"
  },
  {
    "service": "webradio",
    "name": "FIP-Autour du Rock",
    "uri": "INTERNAL/FIP-Autour du Rock.pls"
  },
  {
    "service": "webradio",
    "name": "FIP-Autour du Jazz",
    "uri": "INTERNAL/FIP-Autour du Jazz.pls"
  },
  {
    "service": "webradio",
    "name": "FIP-Autour du Groove",
    "uri": "INTERNAL/FIP-Autour du Groove.pls"
  },
  {
    "service": "webradio",
    "name": "FIP-Il y a 45 ans",
    "uri": "INTERNAL/FIP-Il y a 45 ans.pls"
  },
  {
    "service": "webradio",
    "name": "FIP-Tout nouveau",
    "uri": "INTERNAL/FIP-Tout nouveau.pls"
  }
]
