Sorry for the delay, but my old PC gave up on me, and it took me a few days to convince it to work properly again.
I'm attaching the Json that I would like to import. I tried using the restore function, but I don’t see anything—maybe I made a mistake when creating the backup.

In fact, when I try to restore, it only activates the playlist cursor, but not radio moode or personal radio.

I would also attach the ZIP file, but I don't know if it's possible.
tanks for attention

@antoaudio

Yes, you can attach your ZIP file to a post in this forum, but it must be smaller than 2048 KB. If larger, you could post it to DropBox or some other filesharing site and post a link to it in your forum post (or in a private message to @Tim Curtis , me, possibly @bitlab , and @Nutul if he wants to see it)..

Regards,
Kent

Hello everyone,
if you allow me, I would like to give my personal and humble cent: Antonello, could you try with the attached .zip file?
Thanks, sorry for the intrusion and best regards,

Thanks for stepping in, Francesco. I wasn’t trying to make this a private club—-just naming a few folks off the top of my head.

Ciao.

Bingo!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot!! What was the issue with the ZIP? I'm going to compare it with the one I generated. Thanks for everyone's support e grazie Francesco!!

Hi Antonello,
I'm glad you're happy to have solved it.
I found that the RADIOFRECCIA stream address was not correct: but this cannot cause the malfunction that you had reported.
The identification number, being relative to additional stations, seems correct to me to start from 500 and, furthermore, I noticed that there was no continuity (the id. 2 was missing).
Last note: in some cases you used "no" for some fields.
Frankly, I have not, intentionally, tried to replicate the problem but I preferred to create a file starting exclusively from "station" and "name".
Kind regards.
Ciao,
Francesco

Hi, I don't know if I've "reinvented the wheel," but based on the experiences mentioned above and needing to reload some Italian stations, I wrote a Python script that automates a few tasks:

It downloads the configuration using the Station Manager utility.
It retrieves a list of radio stations via the Radio-Browser API (I filtered n Italian radios and m Tuscan radios within the script).
It attempts to download the station logo if available, converting it from PNG to three JPG formats; if no logo is provided, it assigns a default.jpg (which I took from Moode).
It merges the data with the Moode backup, avoiding duplicates, and generates both a JSON file and an icon folder.
It creates a ZIP file and reuploads it using the radio_station utility.

I'd say it works fine, apart from the hardcoded filters, which aren't pretty but get the job done.

Just to give my small contribution, I'm pasting the script

That's pretty cool. I think it deserves its own thread with an appropriate title so others can find it easily.
