Which streams to add?

Open JonnyTech opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

Absolute Radio has many stream links for all of their different stations:

Can you advise which to add. Can they be grouped by station and/or format?

if a stream sends the same content as another, please give them all the same name. at a later time i will change the code to group stations together, but if streams have the same name, but different bitrates,... i can expect that they do send the same and group them together automatically thank you!

i am still thinking about a better interface for a case like that. it has to be so easy, that everybody can understand what is meant by the added input fields on the add-station-page.

i cannot play any of the streams on absolute radio.co.uk :( maybe they are geoblocked...

Indeed, they have changed their policy:

International Streaming FAQs

As a broadcaster funded entirely by UK advertising derived from UK listening, it is not economically viable for us to have our audio streams available outside of the UK.

Damn :(

@JonnyTech The rest of the new "Digital Impulse" (44 stations) should be added to radio-browser (17 added). You can find them at https://www.shoutcast.com/Search
