need help getting new link to play (FM radio station WBJC)
« on: March 21, 2022, 12:23:00 pm »

The old link worked for me but WBJC has updated their stream service and it no longer works.

The new link (provided by the station) is:
https://ice64.securenetsystems.net/WBJC

I cannot even get it to play locally on the computer.  I've attached a screenshot of the old link that worked and the new one that I edited which does not work.

Any help appreciated.

Doing File > Open URL on the URL you posted works for me.

Thank you  :) That method works.  I can then send to a new playlist and get to where I need to be.

For some reason, editing the old playlist file does not work.  They look exactly the same.

Although it works locally (on a computer), when I send to a playlist and then try to play it on a yamaha receiver or sonos it does not work.

file type on the "very new" one is aac, while the old one was m4a. Does that matter?

That is an interesting idea, it does look like aac is supported on both devices (unless it has DRM maybe?)

Yamaha HTR-4065: The unit supports WAV (PCM format only), MP3, WMA, MPEG-4 AAC and FLAC.

Sonos:

https://www.amazon.com/Sonos-Connect-Component-Streaming-certified/dp/B001CROHX6

"Support for compressed MP3, WMA, AAC (MPEG4), AAC+, iTunes Plus, Ogg Vorbis, Audible
(format 4), Apple Lossless, Flac (lossless) music files, as well as uncompressed WAV and AIFF
files."

A few more data points:

I can play the station on my iphone and airplay it to the HTR-4065 receiver

I can also play it on another computer and send it via optical to the HTR-4065.

What does NOT work is that I cannot send it directly from JRiver to the HTR-4065 (i.e. using JRemote to have JRiver send the station to the HTR-4065).

Edited for clarity
