    I haven't done this, but I would think that the playlist should be in the folder that you define in the Music section in Configuration - Music, and press the playlist settings tab. There is the playlist folder defined.

    Ok Guys, I would like to set some buttons to play my favorite radio stations.
    I pickup the link of the radio station place it on the folder called "my playlists" .

    Then I go to configuration of one button and select a key to use with that station.

    I name the key same as folder but it's not working, it starts playing something else from my music database.

    What am I doing wrong.??

    I got the same problem as Hilfer. I created a playlist which has a shoutcast radio station in it. I selectit to be played at startup but is does not get played. Some random music from my database is started. Checked and tried this several times but it won't work :(

    Any solution would be really appriciated! Thanks.

    EDIT: As stated below, when manually selecting the playlist the radio starts just fine indeed, same here...

    It's strange as it works ok with:

    Artist
    genre

    I think only the playlist is the problem, and my pls file is correct,it plays on aimp2.

    Ok I've made a few tests with 2 radio files like this:

    !- playlist that greasygerrit says it's working on his system:

    [playlist]
    File1=http://82.201.100.9:8000/Radio10Gold
    Title1=Radio 10 Gold
    Length1=-1
    NumberOfEntries=1
    Version=2

    2-Station that I want to add to my list:

    [playlist]
    File1=http://jam-aacp.rautemusik.fm
    #Musik.JaM - #Musik Internetradio, Webradio, Online Radio - RauteMusik.FM - Hear it and love it!
    Title1=#Musik.JaM - #Musik Internetradio, Webradio, Online Radio - RauteMusik.FM - Hear it and love it!
    Length1=-1
    NumberOfEntries=1
    Version=2

    My conclusions are: both files play inside MP music section when selected manually
    None play when activated by a key through " one button music "

    Both play the same music from inside my music data base.

    Any ideas ??

    I tried 2 ways of enabling the hotkeys: giving the name of the playlist or giving the entire path to the play list folder.Nothing worked.

    Both playlists work fine.

    just store them with an extension of .pls in your playlist folder.
    then you can assign it either to the "Play" button or any numeric button.

    if it still doesn't eork then post the logs please.

    Ok it's working now:

    I know why it was not working.

    I used to copy and paste de name of the stations , but with win7 it copies only the name and not the file extension.

    Now I added manually the extension pls and it's working.

    Thank you all for the help.


    GREAT PLUGIN.

    I stll have 2 more questions:

    1-When playng randomly is there any key to go to the next music ??

    2-When playing a playlist with a radio stream and when I stop playing and click another key (for a new station) nothing happens ?? I haveto return to basic menu and then it works !!
    is this the normal behaviour ?? this doesn't happen when playing music from my database.
