Slim Device Picks working Again But...

[NY2006]

Andy,
Thanks for fixing the streams at Slim Device Picks I think all are now working...

I still don't see Radio Canada International back there yet...If you go to RCI's website you will hear I think 3 audio streams that don't work with Squeezebox even though they are Windows Media URL's .Can you please check these URL's and post here the URL's for Radio Canada International that will work with Squeezebox ? Thanks in advance.

There are 2 RCI streams in By Genre -> News & Talk.

Yes both are IN FRENCH....Can you please add the English Radio Canada International Streans ?
(NOT CBC)

RCI English | CA

Sounds like it's in English to me.

NY2006 - you are aware that you can add any URL you wish to your SqueezeNetwork favorites?

It's just that, if Andy had to list every single URL that's out there, the list would become unmanageable.

No offence, but it's Slim Devices Picks, not NY2006 Picks. ;-)

Thanks Andy, that was I am looking for...hopefully it will work with Squeezebox...I can't test right now as I'm recording music on my stereo if I open a stream it might get recorded on my CD's...

Yes its just that I couldn't find the RCI English that would play with Squeezebox...It seems that there are many radio stations from Canada that don't work with Squeezebox even though they are Windows Media URL's...Hopefully with future updates more media streams will work. I'm can't test the URL Andy supplied right now, can you please test to see if its working with Squeezebox ? I did test on my PC but would like to know if its working with Aqueezebox. Thanks.

OK as I think I said in the other thread, SqueezeNetwork's support for certain WMA streams is not as good as the current 6.5. SN will get synced up with this latest code in several weeks, so if a station doesn't work on SN but does work on 6.5, rest assured it will work soon.

I am using 6.31 Slimserver as I did have problems not seeing a space where to enter my XM password t in 6.5b..I haven't tested yet but hopefully the URL will work for 6.31 if not I can wait as you said it will be soon. Thanks.

Hmm, it's working fine on my SoftSqueeze provided I convert WMA to FLAC, but I get a "Can't connect to server for:" on my SB2.

When I try it through SqueezeNetwork I first got a "No items in playlist" then it tried for a long time to connect without success.

I believe the fact that not many streams from Canada work is that the broadcasters just don't pay much attention to it and have very low-capacity servers. It's one of those "golly-gee, look, we're in the 21st century!" kind of things to say you have but when it comes time to actually spending money to increase reliability, that's where it falls short.
