My Radio

[GWI]

When I play My Radio I don't have any sound. I understand that with pure audio I have to play radiostreams with My Music. How does this work? I know I have to create asx or pls files but how do I do that. Until now I copied the url of a webstream radio into the My Radio plugin. I have a program with thousands of preset radio stations. How can I create a asx or pls file for these internet radiostreams?

Yep My Radio simply bypasses any player plugins.

You'll need an asx file for every stream. An asx file is simply a little textfile named after the station and with the fileextension .asx.
You can create/edit them in notepad. They look like this:

<asx version="3.0">
  <title>Arrow Classic Rock</title>
  <entry>
    <ref href="mms://arrowstream.atinet.nl/arrowrock" />
  </entry>
</asx>

If you have many of them you can organise them in subfolders on your disk.
In MP you have to do 2 things:

• Register the extension .asx bij adding it to the list in Music - Music Extensions.
• Make sure the folder where you have stored the asx files is covered in Music - Music folders.

Now if you select the "Shares" view in my Music, the stations are listed there and can be played.

Here's an example to start with: Arrow.zip

edit: Note that there's also a Shoutcast radio plugin available that lists all shoutcast stations!

Hi Symphy.

Thanks alot for you help, i have now set my radio up to play the web stream and made a folder with the .asx files. I works fine exept one problem, when i change stream i will not play the next one, i then have to restart MP to be able to chose another stream. Have you seen this before?

Thanks
