https streams: how to play them?
I have an https stream I want to hear: "https://streams.radio.dpgmedia.cloud/redirect/joe_gold/mp3".
Adding "streams.radio.dpgmedia.cloud/redirect/joe_gold/mp3" or "https://streams.radio.dpgmedia.cloud/redirect/joe_gold/mp3" or "streams.radio.dpgmedia.cloud:443/redirect/joe_gold/mp3" into the config/preferences does not work. Is the code capable of handling https streams? If so, how to let it know it is a https stream.
Thx
Sorry, the radio cannot play SSL streams. I do not understand why a station decides to use an encrypted stream. Maybe the are affraid that someone listens in....
Your links are redirects, not a stream. Click on the link. Redirect will resolve to an actual stream (HTTPS). Remove "s" in the URL. Confirm. Unsrecure stream starts playing. Copy the URL. http://icecast-qmusicbe-cdp.triple-it.nl/joe-gold.mp3
It works perfectly fine. Should work also on the Radio.
Hi, I'm all new here, so I am reluctant to open a new topic ;-) I also have a one stream address that is not playing: ais-sa8.cdnstream1.com/2749_64.aac The track info is showing, but no sound. Works in browser and on a Frontier Silicon based webradio (Teufel360). Any hints?
Thank you for the great work!!! Armin
This stream is playing with my radio (running an old version Th 03 Nov 2022 ...) Tested with the web interface. I pasted ais-sa8.cdnstream1.com/2749_64.aac in the field "Enter a station/file here ..." and clicked PLAY
Also tested it. Plays well with my set-up (SPDIFF output). If you are using a VS1003, AAC is not supported.
I tested it on a fresh build/download last night, using the Helix SPDIF optical output on a "china" ESP32-wroom board.... Also pasting the URL via the web interface
OK, nothing wrong with the radio!
The stream is only ~64k, so the reuslting SPDIF sample rate is 22k. My amplifier (Denon PMA-50) cannot handle sample rates <44k. it is working perfectly on a cheap SPDIF to analog converter.
I guess there is no option for an upsampling of the SPDIF output?
...just for documentation on how to obtain a 44,1k bitrate from a 22,05k stream: In helixfuncs.h/playChunk(), double the samplerate and output each sample twice.
Though the 64kbit stream does not really sound adequate on HIFI equipment ;-(
Again thanks for the great effort&prompt support! Armin
