How do I find out the URL of my favorite radio station to add?

Asked by Peter Bittner on 2015-12-17

How do I find the correct URL for my favorite radio station? What technology / interface does the radio station have to support?

For example, I'd like to add Ö3 / Oe3 and Antenne Vorarlberg as radio stations. Is that possible? Their websites are:

- http://oe3.orf.at/live/
- http://www.antennevorarlberg.at/player/

There is a How-to page in the uRadio Wiki that is supposed to explain the process, but unfortunately the Wiki page on this topic is empty.

What about trying Google?
E.g.

(What about trying to be less arrogant? Have you read the question?)

What technology / interface does uRadio support or expect?

Hi Peter,

I am a user pf URadio since several months and I try to support here. What I do to add my favourite stations is:

Open the page of the live-stream in your browser (in my case Firefox).
Rightclick inside the window to get to the context menu and pick: show source code of the page (Seitenquelltext anzeigen in the German menu)
Search the page (Ctrl-F) for mp3

In your case of Ö3 I find: the following text string on the page of the live stream of Ö3:

"streamingUrl": "http://mp3stream7.apasf.apa.at:8000/"

Enter the following into the http section of the "add your own station" of uradio:

http://mp3stream7.apasf.apa.at:8000/

This will work. I have just tested it.

Any further questions?

Regards and happy listening with uradio!!

Thank you Matthias!

There should be a help page, a hint on this or on resources that explain the setup step-by-step in the uRadio app. Now, this is documented here, at least. Thanks.

Thanks Uranicus, that solved my question.

Hi Peter,

good to hear that this helped you to solve your issue. About your proposal: I am not the programmer and I am also not skilled to really do something about it. But I believe that the genius behind this (Rubén Parra) will read it and might take it on board for future developments.

By the way: my proposed solution is working for me with all stations I have added to uradio. I do not know if this is really a universal solution. But I hope that the users that are struggling with adding a station to uradio will read it and get their inspiration to solve their issue.

Uranicus / Matthias

By the way, if you follow post #5 and you only find a "m3u": uRadio will not play this link!

But there is an easy way out:
- open an editor (e.g. gedit)
- open the link with the extenstion m3u
- within this file there is the usable streaming adress

E.g. if you want to test this:
- open in gedit: http://www.wdr.de/wdrlive/media/mp3/kiraka.m3u
- this link contains: http://kiraka.akacast.akamaistream.net/7/285/119443/v1/gnl.akacast.akamaistream.net/kiraka
- use this link in uRadio
