Perhaps you haven't noticed but there's a reason for this informative sentence on the New Station screen

Enter the URL to the actual stream and not to a playlist of stream links.

When the endpoint for the URL is a .pls file, then MPD parses all the File<n>= entries in the file and loads everything into the queue when the station is added/played.

Take, for example, http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com...DNAAAC.pls. It contains

Code:

[playlist]
File1=http://25353.live.streamtheworld.com:80/KINK_DNAAAC_SC
File2=http://25353.live.streamtheworld.com:3690/KINK_DNAAAC_SC
File3=http://22723.live.streamtheworld.com:80/KINK_DNAAAC_SC
File4=http://22723.live.streamtheworld.com:3690/KINK_DNAAAC_SC
File5=http://25333.live.streamtheworld.com:80/KINK_DNAAAC_SC
File6=http://25333.live.streamtheworld.com:3690/KINK_DNAAAC_SC
Title1=KINK_DNAAAC_SC
Title2=KINK_DNAAAC_SC-Bak
Length1=-1
NumberOfEntries=6

Selecting this file will result in 6 "tracks" being entered in the queue, each playing the same stream but via a different port and/or subdomain (done by the station for load balancing, I presume).

What's needed is a URL to a stream endpoint such as http://25353.live.streamtheworld.com:80/KINK_DNAAAC_SC

I've listened now to all four KINK streams---<main>, CLASSICS, DISTORTION, and INDIE. Not my cup of tea but my kids/grandkids would love them!

Kent

PS - note that the station logo did not come across in your original post.

now i know why my kink radiostations stop working within a couple of hours, and by pressing the <forward> button they continue te play.
