how do I save favorites

[aubuti]

I'm sure you're frustrated, but I find it pretty much impossible to understand exactly what you have done, so there's not much I can offer in the way of advice. If you slow down and describe more carefully what you are doing (connected to which server, filling in which fields, clicking which buttons, etc.) it may be possible to provide some help. And rather then spending hours doing something before finding out that you're not connected to the server you thought you were, try testing out a few at a time to see if it works the way you expect.

I thought I explained. Can you reread my post I edited it I am logged into squeezebox.com. Uner "favorites" tab. Nothing is happening when I put in the shoutcast URL. then when I click "ADD" nothing. It only shows my Favorites I added yesterday while they were playing. Like I asked is there a MAXIMUM number of favorites we can save?????
Thank you
Jean

I'm not aware of a maximum but I wouldn't be surprised if the web interface for managing favorites does have a maximum. It would help to know how many you have in the list now. I just tried adding that URL to the favorites on MySB and it added it to the bottom of the list. I have about 90 stations on my MySB favorites list. What OS and browser are you using?

I did notice that if I tried to add a lot in quick succession that sometimes it wouldn't add the station. Thinking about your maximum concerns gave me the idea of deleting a station. After that I could add a new one, but then I could add several, so it doesn't seem to be an issue of maximum entries, at least not in my test.

Are you adding how ???? Now. the only way I could save and play on my radio was thru going into showcast from my actual radio and doing a search. Adding it by pushing "'more" button and adding to favorites that way

I added it just the way you described in posts #10 and #12 of this thread:
1. login to mysqueezebox.com
2. select Favorites tab
3. under "Add Favorite" put a name in the Title box (I used "test")
4. paste URL in the URL box (I copied the URL you gave directly from your post - http://74.202.111.231:2562/)
5. click the "Add" button
6. look at the bottom of the Favorites list et Voila! it's there

I tried over and over .even tried a 2nd url for the same program.......no go
Now I did have it in my favorites earlier. When tried playing. It said not found. So I removed it. The options were "from playlist" Not remove from favorites.
Now I cant find it on my favoites on my actual squeezebox radio. nor can I find it under "search" in the "shoutcast" application. when I "push" to "type" in the big knob to spell out "gcn"
wow hi is a pain in the ######. LOL

I think I see what jeanwedding is describing. On MySB I enter his URL http://74.202.111.231:2562 into Add Favorite and click the ADD button.

Results are it does get added to my list of Favorites on the Favorites management screen, however:
- station not listed in Remote Control > Favorites
- station not viewable as a Favorite from Radio or Boom
- after pressing ADD the title & URL fields do not go blank again for further additions, so it looks like the station was not "added"

Same URL plays fine in SBS. I'm guessing there is some bug causing a disconnect between Favorites and Control Panel (and the players themselves).

Jeanwedding: It is possible your URL's added to Favorites will work when they fix this. I'd sit still (not add any more) till that happens.

Only way I can add favorites is find them on "search" on shoutcast or Internet radio "search". I click the "more button" before I play it and add it that way. Some I have added on shoutcast didnt "take" , said something about an error in playlist. Had to redo those.
Thanks

I had the same experience trying to add favorites directly to the list on mysqueezebox.com. But I discovered that there is an easier way to add them than by "typing" them in on the radio (which is a real pain).

From the menu bar at the top of the page on mysqueezebox.com click on <Remote Control>. A new browser window will open with a menu similar to the one on your radio. Click on <Internet Radio>. At the bottom of the new menu is a <Search> box. Type in just the name of the station that you want (not the URL) and one or more stations will be listed. Each station will have a + and a little heart next to its name. Click on the little heart and it will be added to your Favorites list. If your Favorites page is open in your browser you won't see it added, but if you tell your browser to reload the page. Hey presto! It will appear on the list.

I am so glad you asked this question, because helped me to figure this out and is much easier than what I was doing before. (I'm afraid the documentation on this lovely radio is sorely lacking.) Hope this works for you.
