XBMC radio add-on?

[Tecni]

The Shoutcast  works better ,dont need extra addon.On my 2 Raspberry only select random station but not open the stream(Radioaddon).i want say musicgerne and play on Devices X .(Later with Movies^^)

[jitterjames]

OK.  But I thought you wanted to use the radio stations on radio.de

The radio addon is very small. I don't see any disadvantage to intalling it. If it possible to run the addon on a raspbmc I think it would be a good way to play radio stations, with the benefit of a nicer interface.  I don't have a raspberry pi to test it on, but I am surprised that it does not work.

Anyway, does the shoutcast command now work for you the way you want it to?

It will definitely be ideal for you to be able to "Play genre x" in specific rooms, as well as playing movies.

If you are happy now with the Shoutcast command and it is working on all machines, then great.

However, I am wondering whether the problem you are having with the radio add-on stream could be, again, a small typographical error in your VC code for sending the commands to the correct xbmc device?

If you decide you would like to try again to get that radio.de code working properly, feel free to post your complete radio add-on code for VoxCommando (including how you are sending the information to different machines), and we can try to help you solve the streaming problem.

This information could be helpful to other users who have multiple XBMC machines as well.

Here the Code .Don't know why its not working on Raspberry.

What did the history window show? Did you have activate the python-plugin in VC? Did you have installed the Voxtool-addon in XBMC (not sure it is needed)?
All this information can help to locate your problem.

[jitterjames]

We can't possibly solve a problem when the only information we are given is "it does not work".

Post the voxlog.txt file and the log from xbmc.

[Tecni]

Hi ,
i forgot install "vox tool" on Raspberry. 

Now no Problem 

[jitterjames]

Thanks for letting us know.

If you had posted a log I probably could have figured that out for you right away!

Hi guys,
This add-on is better then the Tune.in ? I never used the rad.io
Thanks
Clayton

[nime5ter]

I don't know anything about the Tune.In addon, but on the XBMC forum there is a thread where users compare the Radio addon to Tune.In very favourably: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=119315

[jitterjames]

I don't know anything about Tune.In either, but from what I have seen the Rad.IO addon is pretty good.

You can also use Rad.Io directly in VC or with mediaMonkey without using XBMC.

[claymic]

I use the tune.in here, works fine. Thanks for the reply i will test the rad.io here. Today is my day to install VoxCommando in my new htpc, i will have some fun.
