"Local" radio stations rearranged by city?

[att666]

Hi team,

I have been running SBS 7.4.1 and enjoyed the fact that when i hit
"Internet Radio" - "Local" I got 2 options: "Stations" and "DR" (Danish Radio Broadcast Network). Hitting "Stations" got me some 30 danish radio stations to choose from. This listing was all the danish Internet Radio stations.

Without doing an upgrade - I know see that hitting the same menu "Internet Radio" - "Local", only gives me 6 stations (useless ones) from my city.
----

Q1: According to what or who are radio stations within SBS re-arranged on the fly? It must be some external listing which does dynamic updates?

Q2: To get a complete listing of Internet Radios in my country (denmark) now seem impossible. Some stations are now olny found under genres, some under "country",some under cities etc. How do i get a complete country listing like before?

Q3: in the menu "internet Radio" there is an option to "search". This search function seem to be a bit broken:
Searching for "MGP" - gives me the station "DR MGP". Perfect
Searching for "DR" - gives me no results.
Can someone explain this?
-----------------

Anyways - I upgraded to 7.4.2 this morning, but nothing is changed. Except that all album art is gone (i have a folder.jpg / cover.jpg in each directory). Could it be that it is just very slow to process?

Any comments/hints are welcome.

Thanks

I have also been wondering what was going on with the Danish channels.

Previously all the channels from the national Danish Radio were one of the two groups under local.
Tuesday it was just one big pile of stations.
Wednesday half the stations were gone and the firt 3-4 stations in the list where actually TV channels?!!

Status in this moment: the TV channels are gone, but still only half the channels are there. Among the casualties are all the DAB channels from Danish Radio.

Hi - I dont know why, but I get the feeling that SBS hooks directly into radiotime.com - thus whenever changes are made to radiotime.com indexing, it is reflected directly on our sbs systems.

Btw.: I believe I managed to find all the DAB channels by either doing a search, og browsing through to country/Denmark or via world networks (Denmark Radio - DR). But that sucks...

Thanks

Try this..... Internet Radio > Search > danish

It returns about 36 stations all listed as "DR". Guess you'd have to save each to your Favorites.

Hi Toby,

Thanks - DR is only about have the danish channels. This is the point, it is no longer possible to have only one view of all the channels.

Btw. Do you know how the SBS Internet Radios are arranged, it must be some online hook into another services, since they are updated on a daily basis without touchng my own system.

I believe everything within the Internet Radio menu's are handled by RadioTime.

Another option to accomplish what you want is to use your RadioTime Presets.
Go to your www.RadioTime.com account, search "danish", then go through the results and click on "add to Presets" to those you wish to keep.

You could then keep them right there or create a New Folder for Danish Radio, select all and move all from your Presets to your new Folder in two clicks.

Now all of your personally selected Danish stations are all in:
My Apps > RadioTime > Presets > (folder) Danish

Toby,

Thank you for this hint. I'll give it a try - it sounds like a very good workaround.

Hi Toby,

I did what you said:
1. Created an account on radiotime.com

2. Made a couple of folders in "my presets"
a. Folder for All danish channels
b. Folder for DR (Denmarks Radio) channels

3. Moved all relevant stations to correct folders.

Problem is now that Radiotime v.2.0 is nowhere to be found in the UI menu when I access SBS through the browser?

The plugin (RadioTime v.2.0) is enabled under settings/plugins but I cannot find it under "my apps".

Wonder if I need to upgrade the plugin?

btw. I am running SBS 7.4.2

Thanks
Christian

Just install the RadioTime App on www.MySqueezeBox.com, configure App by entering your RadioTime login info into the App.
It should then appear in your SBS > My Apps (give it a few minutes to catch up).

As always, make sure your CORRECT MySB login info is entered onto SBS > Settings > MySqueezeBox.com, hit SAVE.

Thanks again,

Sorry if this question is trivial. I have always just been running my Squeezecenter/SBS as a standalone server on linux. Would this mean i would have to switch back and forth between my local server environment and the online "mysqueezebox.com" music source?

I will give it a try.

Thanks
Christian
