JRiver Media Center 26.0.22 for Debian (amd64, i386 and armhf)
Lewin:
Yes, the tool bar customizing trick works! Not just for Radio Paradise, but for Radio JRiver as well! Thanks a lot for your help. So why wouldn't at least these 8 stations work with their icons moved to the original streaming location?
Clicking on Google from within MC brings up a Chromium Browser (not from Google). Not sure if that is now inside or outside of MC? Anyway, it allows to find and play other radio stations (or any videos/music on YouTube). Not an elegant solution with all radio stations neatly in one place under "streaming", but a workaround. Cloud Play doesn't work in my setup.
I have not yet looked into the 32 bit userland support. My reason for trying some other distros is that the smoothness and stability is just not yet comparable to my Windows setup, which just feels and looks more polished. Could be the lower processing power of the Pi4, some glitches in Raspian or something in the present MC implementation?
Lewin:
Again in 26.0.22: Cannot get MC to start in Audio > Genres.
One should be able to choose the view after startup in View > Library Views (e.g. Genres). However, MC starts with an empty area "loading ..." and the "Library Views" entry in the Views menu is missing. I then have to click Audio > Genres to display Genres mode; this also makes the missing menu entry appear. I make sure that "Genres" is selected, but everything is gone again at the next start. Using Save/Load (to a file) doesn't help. All of this works ok in my Windows version of MC.

It's because that particular browser is external that you can pull up google that way.
Cloudplay login can't work without the Chromium plugin. Our goal is to get that working on the Pi since that will give a more streamlined user experience. Up until the Pi4 release it's really not been very feasible to use the plugin. Getting the plugin to work on the Pi is on our todo list.

In Options, do you have startup set to Last Location?
Lewin:
No, I didn't set "Last Location" since I didn't have to in the Windows version. But it works now, if I do it in the Linux version; strange. Also strange, that entries in the Views menu are initially missing.
It would be more logical to have these startup settings all under Options, e.g. > Startup > Audio > Genres. Maybe in the next release?
I have now arranged all of my radio stations under a genre "Internet Radio": File > Open URL > add stream to web media > F5. A blue note icon appears, which can be tagged (incl. cover art). Works also for the Radio Paradise FLAC stream. Radio JRiver remains on the toolbar.
