BBC ending Shoutcast stream

From your Sig.


Lounge: Vortexbox Microserver 2 (LMS 7.9.1)

Update your LMS

ronnie

To cut a long story short I now have BBC stations streaming via the Squeezebox Radio from my music server using the BBC Sounds plug-in and have the six (6) presets setup.

Hadn't really considered my music server as the Radio is the only Squeezebox device I now own and was using that streaming direct via my router.

Many thanks for the steer.

Nice to know this forum is still going strong.

Get a Pi, run LMS on it and then your radio will connect to that over the network instead of to mySqueezebox.com. Aux In not used.

Thanks for the input but Man in a van has provided the elegant solution.

I saw that from Ronnie and thought to myself there is no way that he will be able to do that. Sorry but I have some experience of Vortexbox. The hardware it’s running on is likely to be only 32 bit which unfortunately means you can upgrade only to VB2.3 if I recall correctly and I don’t think that will run up to date LMS. I hit this issue and had to upgrade my hardware before I could install VB2.4. I might be wrong and what you have is 64bit. Hopefully it is.

My profile is a little out of date but FYI I'm running Audiostore Nova Sonicorbiter V.2.8 on my music server and Logitech Media Server V 8.4.0 app.

That’s perfect. Pop the BBC Sounds plugin on it and reconfigure your Radio and you are good to go.

That's where I'm at. :-)

Thanks to everyone for their help.

If you add the Material plugin you will then have a very easy way to navigate the BBC Sounds plugin (via /material web page on your LMS) it works great on a phone browser as well ... giving you easy access to recent programmes - easier than doing it from the screen of the SB Radio.

Much easier!
