    How to add new Hong Kong Radio 88.1

    Can anyone tell me how I could add the Radio 88.1 to my SqueezeCenter ?

    for some reasons the pre-loaded channels do not include the 881 and 903 channels...

    many thanks....

    HKCR 1 (88.1) and HKCR 2 (90.3) are both listed (among others) in SC > Internet Radio > World > Find City > Asia > Hong Kong

    You need a free RadioTime account, RadioTime login info entered onto SqueezeNetwork.com > Accounts > RadioTime
    Your SN login info must be in SC > Settings > SqueezeNetwork

    The Radiotime link doesn't seem to be working via SB for me (in the UK).

    Also the url (mms://mslive05.881903.com/cr1) on their website isn't working via the Squeezebox (although does in WMP).

    There is a "report broken link" on the Radiotime site and they are very good at fixing things promptly.
    Who am I on LAST.FM?

    Siduhe broke it again.

    HKCR 1 is working fine here (US), but HKCR 2 is not working here either.

    commercial radio 881 or 903 cannot be connected now.

    can anyone tell me why? or how to fix it?
    I am using SB3 classic and running the latest SqueezeServer 7.4.1 on WindowsXP.

    The link for 881 and 903 be:

    http://www.crhk.com.hk/Resourse/Vide.../cr1_local.asx
    http://www.crhk.com.hk/Resourse/Vide.../cr2_local.asx

    I can connect using Windows Media Player or radiosure. but not with SB3?

    The .asx file is a playlist file not a direct url. If you open it up, you get mms://mslive05.881903.com/cr2.

    If it's an MMS only stream, this isn't supported by the SB. You can get the broadcaster to check the box to enable http streaming as well. Some people have had success as a workaround by disabling native WMA on WebUI/Settings/Filetypes/Windows Media.

    The better solution is to use the Radiotime streams - are they still not working?

    thanks, you are right, the two radio streams work by disabling the wma native support.
