Adding Radio Stations

[Michael1t]

This took a little bit of work ...

You can telnet to the Z500
Note:Make gsure your USB Stick is plugged into the z500 before starting!
As I hate the Vi linux editor I use wordpad and move the file
with my usb stick ... see below
Note: My Z500 IP Adress is 10.0.0.139 replace this with your
Z500 IP Address can be found under setting Info
Windows User Instructions:
select run and the cmd enter- this will bring up a command window
from the c:> prompt type telnet 10.0.0.139 (press enter)
login: Root
to do a directory type ls -l (press enter)
the Radio stations are stored in the following file/directory
/tmp/settings/WebRadioStations.xml
this is a ASCII file I first copy it so I have a backup before starting:
z500:# ( this is the Linux Prompt like c:>) ( cp is copy command)
z500:# cd /tmp/settings
(this will make a backup version )
cp WebRadioStations.xml WebRadionStations.old
(this will copy the file to sub stick)
cp WebRadioStations.xml /tmp/usb/usb0/part1/WebRadioStations.xml
(press Enter)
Now the file is on the USB Stick
Now you can edit it with Wordpad on you PC.
type exit to logoff telnet
Edit the File and Add your Radio stations...
I will show this in my next post ...
put the stick back in the z500 and go to your pc and telnet in again
telnet 10.0.0.139
login:root
z500:# cd /tmp/settings
z500:# cp /tmp/usb/usb0/part1/WebRadioStations,xml WebRadioStations.xml
exit
Now the radio stations are ready to go ....
If you made a typo the Web radio list will not come up
Lots of trial and error ... By I got it working ...
I will give example in next post ...

<title>
<![CDATA[Demented Radio]]>

then save the file and follow the instructions in the previous post

I cant het it to work, when i try i get this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>telnet 192.168.123.153
Bezig met verbinding maken met 192.168.123.153...Kan geen verbinding met de host
maken, op poort 23: De verbinding is mislukt

So what wrong here :cry:

[courtox]

Hi,
telnet to port 23 is refused, that's normal, the telnetd daemon is not started with CS505 to save some memory.
The strange thing you've a got an error message other than english one! are you sure to try telnet to the correct IP adress?
To add a sepcific webradio there is one option available:

ok, but how do i add some strearms from this website www.di.fm.
I tryed to add this one from that site http://64.236.36.54:80/stream/1003 but than the player is telling me, Unable to load station playlist.

[courtox]

Could you make a test with VLC player first.
Then use "Advanced information" to verify if the stream is mp3 or Windows Media Audi 9 not yet supported?
If I make a test with your stream using VLC, I got:
Unable to open 'http://64.236.36.54:80/stream/1003'


Normaly on CS505 only mp3 streams are supported
Page 7 of the documentation
"Specifications – Continued
7. Internet Radio Support
o Integrated Internet Radio Player with access to SHOUTcast stations
o Stations streaming MP3 or ASX are supported"

I hope that in near future ZIOVA will add the support of all webradios, but you know today webradios are not stable in protocols

[courtox]

To add webradios from http://www.di.fm/
You can say:

http://huitres.chaudes.free.fr/ZIOVA/webradio_mp3.gif
then open the web radio inside VLC or Winamp, ask for properties, you will get the IP adress of the MP3 stream. You can add it to CS505 webradios.

For example I've selected that one:
http://205.188.215.232:8016

D I G I T A L L Y - I M P O R T E D - Soulful House - house music selected from Paris with love!

Sure i am French, that's why I've selected Paris ...

You can get more details sometimes using your browser to point out this stream. For example!
http://huitres.chaudes.free.fr/ZIOVA/webradio2_mp3.gif

What you are looking for is in SHOUTcst!


Make a try with your CS505 and give me your result, because I am not yet a CS505 owner.

This one is correct too: http://64.236.98.51:80/stream/1009

[bouwboef]

i know but alot of the stream have a url like this http://64.236.36.54:80/stream/1003 So i cant see the url i/we need to add it.

[md1]

Hi all,
I have a small question about ZIOVA CS 505 and on-line radio. I am not owner of CS 505, but in a short time I would like to buy one.
I used to listen my favorite on-line radio stations on www.abradio.cz, http://www.abradio.cz/radio/rock-for-people
on my PC. In manual of CS 505 I read something how to choose new radio station. But I don't know if I only can choose stations from SHOUTCast.com, or I can choose every station (url stream) ?
Can somebody (who is owner of cs unit) tune for example this station ( http://www.abradio.cz/radio/rock-for-people ) and write result ?
Thanks a lot...

As you can see few post above there is alittle XML file example of how the stations are stored inside the player in a file. This means that if you follow the whole process from the beginning i.e. save file to Usb->Edit=Add your stations->Copy to player, then you can add ANY urls to it. Therefore if your stations are from abradio and you can get the exact URL of the streams from the site - you will succeed.

[courtox]

For example, I've selected "blues" in your specific radio.
A tool start then under my browser, I am able to find the link:
http://www.abradio.cz/asx/blues64.asx

I made a try under winamp and open the previous URL. It is working.
Asking for properties under winamp, I can find the stream:
mms://82.208.28.37/blues64
