radio station field report - Listener - 03-28-2022

I have notice a couple of problems with the radio stations, so a few days ago I embarked on a project to check them all. I started with S through Z. These are the stations that had problems at that time.

Scala Radio

Soma FM redirected to 1.FM

SWR2

WBJC

Happy listening,

@Listener

Be sure to report which release of moOde (and which specific URLs) are involved. There are updates in almost every release. Here's a portion of the /var/www/relnotes.txt file for release 8.0.2

Code:
Radio stations

- NEW: Soma FM - n5MD Radio
- NEW: Soma FM - Synphaera
- NEW: Soma FM - Vaporwaves
- UPD: Byte FM
- UPD: Absolut Hot
- UPD: Absolut music XL
- UPD: Absolut Relax
- UPD: SWR 2
- UPD: WBJC Baltimore 91.5 Classical
- DEL: SomaFM - BaGel Radio (discontinued)

Know that URLs may fail to play for a variety of reasons, for example
  • the station's server is temporarily offline or unreachable because of routing issues
  • the station has changed server URL or stream endpoint
  • the station has gone off the air permanently
Know too that the automated URL checker is only a starting point because it may report as questionable a URL which in fact does stream through moOde. For example, just now my moOde 8.0.2 player shows

Code:
pi@m8pi3a:~ $ moodeutl -U
Checking...
Id    URL    Station
13    ?    ArtSound FM 92.7 | http://119.15.96.188/stream2.mp3
220    ?    PRM - Prog Rock & Metal | http://shoutcastunlimited.com:8512
226    ?    Dandelion Radio | http://stream.dandelionradio.com:9414

yet all three of these stations play here. (This discrepancy can occur because of the nature and timing of the station's response to the checker.)

Scala Radio is already part of another discussion https://moodeaudio.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=4811&pid=40581#pid40581

As an aside, "SomaFM" (maybe the Bagel Radio channel?) is not forwarding to 1.FM. I think, rather, that you were playing 1.FM and selected SomaFM. When MPD couldn't get a stream for SomaFM it reverted to the previously playing stream.

Whew! We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

Regards,
Kent
