Hi, Guys

Great work on MC13!!!!!!!!!!

Any chance to integrate Last.fm and/or Internet Radio Stations in Theater View. Would be Nice!!!!!!!
Now with the Onscreen Keyboard it should also work to configure/search,...etc with this plugins in Theater View.
This is the only thing I miss.

Any Ideas or Problems to do this or is it Possible/Impossible?

What do other Users think about this Option???

Please Reply

For Internet Radio Streams, I save them as a playlist and access them in Theater View that way.

Could you give me some details how this playlist should look like?
And how about last.fm?

Answers would be great!!

When you stream an internet radio station, in whatever format, at least 1 file will be imported to your 'Playing Now' list.

Simply create a new playlist

Playlists > Right Click > New Playlist

and select and drag those 'Playing Now' files into your new playlist. You'll then be able to see it in the Playlists section of Theatre View.

I actually have mine grouped, too, depending on the provider. So I have a playlist group for SKY.FM, one for Digitally Imported, one for BBC Radio etc.

Not sure about lastFM as I don't use it myself, though I believe there have been a couple of threads seeking similar - perhaps a quick search?

When you do this, it saves the station as a playlist and not just the songs that were in Now Playing?

It doesn't actually place the songs themselves in the Playing Now list. Most internet radio stations (except for live broadcast streams) are simply playlist driven.

What get's placed in the Playing Now list is a list of server addresses where the playlist (stream) file can be found. Some Stations only have 1, some have many.

MC will only try to play the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or whatever location if it cannot connect to the 1st one. You only NEED to copy the first one into your playlist, but it's best to have all of them for redundancy.

Technically what you are doing is creating a playlist of (remote) playlists.

I'll post a how to when I get home today.
