Can someone help me explaining how can I play streaming radio channels thru MC14? I have looked under Audio/Connected Media which seems to have something to do with streaming radio channels. But the only thing this section show is the home page for each radio station.

Isn’t there some function where I can insert an URL and make a short cut or similar to get easy access to a certain radio channel?

[Mr ChriZ]

File-> Open URL

Tick the checkbox, enter the URL.

Press OK.

On the next box a checkbox is added to add the stream to web media.

It appears in my connected media.

It's also possible to create a view on the root level of the tree to show these.

This can be seen in my slightly old screen shot here

I use RadioTime throughout the house.  Its very quick to find all your local stations and define presets.

Audio...right click connected media......featured websites.....check Radiotime.   Click radiotime, click local radio...and search for your local stations.  Radiotime may be US only.

And the schedule function for web radio is super cool!

Thanks all lot, all of you! Great help!

However I would like to ask Mr ChriZ (or if anyone else know) how you managed to get the Radio Stations to appear like it does in your screen shot?

I have managed to add radio stations under Audio\Connected Media\My Connected Media and after that I have moved them to a new playlist that I have called Radio Stations. But I dont know how to move this playlist so it appears among the top menu items like Audio, Video, Images.

when you add a view from anywhere. the item at the bottom is called 'location'. set the location to 'root'.
hope it helps

Thanks Gappie!

I didn't know it could be done that easy. I created a new library view (Empty View) in the root menu and called it Radio Stations. But I’m sorry to say I don’t know how to get my radio stations to appear there. I have tried to drag my play list with radio station to this place but it won’t work. Also trying to drag My Connected Media doesn’t work either.

I have tweaked with the View settings but without any succes.

Hope you have the time to help me again.

Like any view, what appears in it is determined by the Rules for file display (Customize View - Options - Advanced). Media type is "Audio" and Filename (path) starts with "http:" will do it.
