[SOLVED] Internet Radio url: error curl failed to decode

[feh123]

Hi I updated to 9.1.3 and I wonder if 9.1.3 altered or affected the implementation of urls for the radio stations. The stations already in Moode seem fine but some of the new stations I have created have problems. These stations fail to connect with the error failed to decode (or resolve host name). These urls work for me in VLC. But my problem urls are not as simple as a mp3 link. One opens to a selection of urls (VLC just picks the first one in the list - this is KUSC. You can manually pick others - they all work in VLC). The second type contain hyphens (KlasuPro, Finland) and third type are .pls (BBC World Service).

I have copied the moode startup log at the end.

They all seemed to be working well and the only change is I updated to 9.1.3. Of course this may just be a coincidence and something else is causing the problem. I just wondered about 9.1.3!

One solution could be to add these three stations to your current Moode list - apart from the World Service (which I use for news) they are all really good classical music stations. KlasuPro hopes to do CD quality sound!

Thanks

Fred

Playable URL

   

[TheOldPresbyope]

 These urls work for me in VLC.

1. You didn't share any of your URLs with us to examine.
2. VLC works extremely hard to suss out the actual playable stream(s).
3. The MPD stream decoder(s) do not. As Tim pointed out, you have to feed MPD, hence moOde, the URLs of playable streams.

Kent

[Tim Curtis]

Actually MPD supports pls files containing playable URL's but Moode's radio feature does not because it uses the stations playable URL as the key that ties together the station metadata, cover art and audio information.

Now that you say it, I remember I used to know it.   The older I get, the smarter I used to be.

Even so, VLC is especially tenacious. Definitely a go-to tool.

Apologies for not adding the url's that are not working. They are:

http://wsdownload.bbc.co.uk/worldservice.../eieuk.pls

http://96.aac.pls.kusc.live

http://rondo.iradio.fr:8000/klasupro-hi.mp3

I was a bit over engaged by why they are not be working now! All these urls used to work with Moode. Of course it could be that the station has changed it's own way of using them - the BBC is very good at this and KlasuPro has been known to disappear.

Hi, Fred.

So, from the command line

Code:

rho@bookworm:~ $ curl http://wsdownload.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/meta/live/shoutcast/mp3/eieuk.pls
[playlist]
numberofentries=1
File1=http://stream.live.vc.bbcmedia.co.uk/bbc_world_service
Title1=BBC World Service Online
Length1=-1

The File1=  entry is a playable URL that works fine for me here in USA.

Code:

rho@bookworm:~ $ curl http://96.aac.pls.kusc.live/
<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
<hr><center>cloudflare</center>
</body>
</html>

Moved permanently, eh. Well, let's see where

Code:

rho@bookworm:~ $ curl -L http://96.aac.pls.kusc.live/
[playlist]
File1=https://25063.live.streamtheworld.com:443/KUSCAAC96_SC
File2=https://27283.live.streamtheworld.com:443/KUSCAAC96_SC
File3=https://14103.live.streamtheworld.com:443/KUSCAAC96_SC
Title1=KUSCAAC96_SC
Title2=KUSCAAC96_SC-Bak
Length1=-1
NumberOfEntries=3

Again, the File1= entry works fine foe me as a playable URL.

Code:

rho@bookworm:~ $ curl http://rondo.iradio.fr:8000/klasupro-hi.mp3
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: rondo.iradio.fr
rho@bookworm:~ $

As you say, KlausPro has been known to disappear.

Thanks Kent for doing this. BBC World Service is now working for me with the .pls url! However KUSC still gives the error. How are you getting to the command line? I will try that too.

Thanks again.

Either ssh to the moOde player from somewhere else or use moOde’s built-in Web SSH Terminal. It’s reachable from the System configure screen.

However, for these two stations,  you could just cut-n-paste the URLs from what I posted.

Kent

[feh123]

Thanks Kent the -L command is really useful! I added the file addresses for KUSC and World Service and that worked well. I have tried to email KlasuPro so ask why their link is no longer working.
