Internet Radio possible in Emby ?

[Polar 0]

Hi all,

 

New kid on the block . Am a long time Plex user, but am checking out Emby as an alternative. My question: In Plex I use a plugin that allows me to add a single Internet Radio URL. This then will play on any device, both from web browser and other OS apps. In addition to this the music can continue to play when browsing the media library.

 

On Emby I installed the IPTV plugin and got my Internet Radio channel playing. But it stops playing when I leave the IPTV page.

 

How can I achieve this in Emby ? Needs to work from the Roku client as well.

Hi, yes probably because it plays like a video.

 

You could also do this with strm files in a music library:
