Subsonic Forum

Hi All, another question, sorry...

I have been a user of Subsonic for a long time and it's great but now I'm exploring the other features.

I want to set up some streaming internet TV/Radio and I've tried to add some sites, ie Radio 1 to test it...

I used http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_one as the "Stream URL"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1 as the Homepage

These are the URL's that I can listen to it on over the internet

But when I put them into Subsonic it adds the menu item then Nothing happens afterwards, ie when you click the link nothing happens.

Am I on the wrong track / thinking that I can add any streaming radio or TV ?

Thanks Esh

Hi all, I posted this a couple of weeks ago but no replies.

Any assistance with setting up the internet radio aspect would be appreciated.

Cheers

Here is an example that I use on my site...

javascript:void(window.open('http://www.radioparadise.com/flash_player.php','RADIO PARADISE','width=480,height=295,status=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no'))

You can throw that in both the Stream URL and the Home page fields, and give it a name field of Radio Paradise, and you're set.

Hope that helps.

It seems like the 'Stream Url' is not being used...maybe it's only used in non web-based clients but the Android app I used doesn't support the Internet/TV section so I can't be sure. What I do see is that if I put actual audio source url into the 'Homepage Url' setting in Subsonic I'm able to play the stream on the web - whatever value is set as 'Homepage Url' loads inside the Subsonic interface on the web. I used OPs original URL of http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_one and this successfully loads the 'player' into the Subsonic web interface and I can control the stream using the players HTML controls (not subsonic controls the BBC web player). While this works for the web interface on a PC, chances are it's not going to work other places since the player uses Flash. What would be better is if you could find the actual 'audio source' url that the Flash player is using and use that directly in Subsonic thereby skipping the middleman Flash player entirely. I didn't spend much time on this source specifically but I used the same process for the local NPR station I listen to and use the 'audio source' url in VLC as a 'Network Stream' and in Subsonic. To find the actual source you'll need to find it somewhere in the HTML source of the page, I did this manually but I'm sure there are browser extensions that could help to parse out video/audio urls contained in a page. Also, your mileage may vary as the station I scraped the source url from was using an HTML5 player and using a Flash player means they have more ability to obfuscate/encrypt the information you'd need to skip the player.
