[SOLVED] Radio Station switching bug

[Tim Curtis]

There is a station URL checker in moodeutl but a bug is preventing it from working. Below is a command to fix the bug.

Code:

sudo sed -i 's/. SQLDB ./. SQLDB_PATH ./' /usr/local/bin/moodeutl

Then run moodeutl with -u or -U option. 

Each station in the cfg_radio table is probed by attempting to connect to its URL and read 1K bytes of data. It takes a few minutes to complete. In the example below the ? means that the probe was unsuccessful. This can happen for the following reasons:

- Station has ceased operation and thus the URL is not valid anymore
- Station is OK but currently is offline or has issues with its streaming service
- Station is OK but the URL is not valid anymore
- Station is OK but the method used by the probe to connect to the URL is rejected by the station
- Station is OK but network or system issues are preventing the probe from working

Code:

pi@moode:~ $ moodeutl -U
