Streaming Web Radio via DLNA
« on: January 05, 2018, 04:30:34 pm »

I am trying to stream a radio station via DLNA following the procedure described here:

Connected Media - Streaming Web Radio via DLNA
https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/DLNA

But after I am hitting the "OK" button in the "Open URL" window instead of adding the station to "My Connected Media" list is opening a new Internet Explorer window and play the radio station there.

Does anybody know what am I doing wrong?

Maybe the question was asked before, although I could not find anything searching this forum.

Thanks a lot

Not all radio urls will stream in this way. What is the exact url you are trying? In particular is it a url for a playlist or a url for a media file itself?

Also be aware that not all renderers will accept such urls. What renderer are you using? Could you download the DMRA from my sig and run its test on your renderer and post the result here?

Thanks for your quick response Andrew, here is attached my renderer test.

I am trying to play this radio station:

https://www.shoutcast-tools.com/shoutcast/player/view/8409/?p=5

If Im not wrong this is in flash format.
I tried other stations from https://www.mixcloud.com/ without success.

I tried others too, and behave the same, here is one example:

Not sure if this is different format of not

Those urls look like html pages with embedded music resources that can play in your browser. On the other hand the Wiki article explains how to push either the actual music resources themselves, or a playlist resource that contains a link to the actual music resource. In other words what the wiki describes, won’t work with these urls.
