How to add streaming radio URLs to music library?

[Luke 37095]

Just tried that in a bunch of apps including the browser and vlc is the only one that could handle it so there must be something non standard about it.

OK. VLC is showing as Streaming Info the following URL, which is also working well in Firefox and Chrome:

http://dg-swr-http-dus-dtag-cdn.cast.addradio.de/swr/swr3/live/mp3/128/stream.mp3

I've updated the strm file and recreated my "radio" Library...
Now, Emby is only showing the rotating "loading" circle... without any error or playback :-(

hi,

Short error description:

After using the link

http://dg-swr-http-dus-dtag-cdn.cast.addradio.de/swr/swr3/live/mp3/128/stream.mp3

Using Firefox and Chrome, I'm getting the Error Message that no compatible stream could be found, with the following information in the error logs:

Came across this thread searching for a way to add my favorite web radio to Emby.  It's the RTBF Classic 21 (classic rock) radio.  The stream apparently only exist as an ACC stream: https://radios.rtbf.be/classic21-64.aac - at least I'm unable to find any other type. Anyway, it works in a browser and I was also able to add it as a stream to my Volumio player, but when I add it in a .strm file I get the same playback error someone reported with .pls files.   Is this more than just allowing an .aac extension in .strm files?

Hi, try installing the IPTV plugin from the catalog if you don't have it setup already.

I was able to add this link https://radios.rtbf.be/classic21-64.aac to it and it would playback just fine in Emby.

Let me know how you make out.

[renecd 4]

Yep, that worked! Thanks!
