Internet Radio Blues

Anyone got internet radio working as a selected playlist?

The hand picked and shoutcast lists dont show on my players, but playlists do.

With my 3 year old version of Twonky, I'd just add a playlist put together by me for radio station I selected, but dont seem to be able todone this anymore and the radio selected looks crap as your not able to add remove stations... only genres!

I can confirm that. Any 5.xx version did not work for me. Local stored mp3s are ok. Any m3u-playlists containing URLs to internet radio stations are not shown. Did not get an answer from the TwonkyMedia support to this question. Ticket is still open.

Hi

After I posted links to the specialist ReadyNAS version on the Linn forum, a few folks got back to me about this. It seems that 5.0.68 (don't know about 5.1) doesn't pick up radio m3u playlists. Incidentally, 5.0.68 doesn't pick up normal (local) playlists either (even after a rescan). The way round this is to set the rescan to -1 and they'll be found (you can set rescan back to 0 afterwards and they'll still be there, but you'll need to set it to -1 to pick up any new ones you add after that). As I say, this trick does pick up the local playlists in 5.0.68, but it still doesn't pick up the radio ones.
