[SOLVED] Radio Station not working

[kosi123]

Hello guys!

I recently installed moode on a rpi4 and tried a few radio stations. One of the ones that I usually listen to is FM4, which is preprogrammed into moode. However, it doesn't seem to work - all the other radio stations do work though.

Other radio stations that I added by the same provider (ORF) don't work either.

I did some searching but the only results I found were based on a technical error by the player, hence my question here. Does anybody have an idea for a solution? Or should I open an issue on github?

Works ok for me.

   

Try rebooting your Router, etc.

Oh wow sorry, I just immediately assumed moode was the problem since all the other radios worked. The weird thing is the radio stream does work on other devices, just not mine. I just rebooted my router and the rpi with moode, but I still get the same error:

Code:

Failed to decode https://orf-live.ors-shoutcast.at/fm4-q2a; CURL failed: Resolving timed out after 10630 milliseconds

Again, the weird things are:
1. All the radio stations (FM4, OE3, ...) from the same provider with almost the same streaming link (ORF) do not work
2. All the other radio stations I tried do work
3. The ORF radio stations do work on other devices

No idea what I should do now. Thank you though for your quick reply! I really love your work, moode has been amazing so far.

Curious. Working here in Maryland in moOde 9.2.2 on a Pi3B+ connected wirelessly to my access point/router.

What do you see if you try curl -v https://orf-live.ors-shoutcast.at/fm4-q2a | more from the command line of your moOde player?

Code:

Hello there!

Sorry for not mentioning the info sooner - working on a rpi zero 2w with moode 9.2.0 and also connected wirelessly.

This is the output:

Code:

 % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current

* Closing connection 0
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: orf-live.ors-shoutcast.at

Sorry if this issue doesn't have anything to do with moode; I'm not really well-versed in this topic and didn't know where else to ask.

This output confirms what was said in the error message you previously posted. "Could not resolve host" means the domain name service (DNS)---on your router or at your ISP or whatever---can't find a reference to the host at orf-live.ors-shoutcast.at.

The .at top-level domain (TLD) is Austria. The only entry in the moOde radio-station table which has .at as its TLD is the one for FM4. Looks like you may be blocked from this domain.

Thank you for your quick reply.

I am actually from Austria myself, which is why I like to listen to FM4. FM4 is part of the ORF, which roughly translated stands for public media company. It is funded by the state and by every citizen in Austria with a yearly fee.

Because of that, ORF and its programs should be accessible everywhere and by everyone - which is why the error is even more interesting.

Therefore I don't think I'm blocked - additionally, other members in the same household (connected to the same router) can access the stream.

No idea why it doesn't work - hopefully I'll figure it out.

@kosi123 

Then you said

 additionally, other members in the same household (connected to the same router) can access the stream.

By the same URL?---he asked with "a kind of Alice in Wonderland feeling of curiouser and curiouser."

As for figuring it out---Viel Glück!

Dankeschön!

Just tried it with a hotspot, to not be on the same network - did work.

As for the same URL - no guarantee for anything, as I said I'm not very well-versed. But there is a BluOS Speaker running, connected to the same router and playing FM4 every morning via TuneIn.

As far as I'm concerned, TuneIn also just uses the stream URL - so either both should work or neither, correct?

My laptop (on the same network) also gets an error using curl - I tried TuneIn there as well (the web version) and again, the ORF stations do not work, the others do.

I'm really confused. Thank you very much for your help though! If I ever find a solution, I'll post it here for future users with the same problem.

What are the network settings in moode?
Maybe its a DNS address issue.

They are listed in the startup log. The log can be viewed via the SSH command moodeutl -l or downloaded via the Logs section in System Config, or via Menu, System info from any of the Config screens. The startup log will be at the end of System info output.
