Can not play a station (that works on Windows)

[igorkooo]

At first - great work (and player). Especially this last update.

Other stations (such as http://50.31.135.43:80/wwoz-hi.mp3) work fine.
But my favorite https://studio20.radiolize.com/radio/800...1578641935 works fine in a (Windows, Chrome) browser but could not play it on RPI (latest moode).

If someone has a clue where to dig? I think that some codec update happened and mpd infrastructure simply does not support it (yet?).

Thank you,
Igor

Hi Igor

Some web browsers will let you inspect the online player and discover a stream url (search for details on the internet). In this case I got

   https://streaming.radio.co/s5ad4b474a/listen

It plays fine in Moode and is reported as 201kbps.

Interesting to compare the two sources by looking at the metadata returned to the http request (an artful use of wget in debug mode)

For the original URL (minus the useless tracking info supplied by the trailing "?1578641935")

Code:

wget -d https://studio20.radiolize.com/radio/8000/320kbps.mp3

So the second URL supplies the same stream but at twice the bitrate.

Thats cool :-) I didn't know that about wget.

Hi guys,
You are THE BEST! Thank you very much!
Besides I've just learned what else to do with wget, except download url links ... and that some urls have player implementation. It works perfectly well. And I wish to thank to Tim again for pushing this story forward!
I think that presently, this is the best small player option on RPI.
Best,
Igor
