I added the following line to my AUDIO_ITEMS section ;
('WebRadio', '/home/freevo/fxd/webradio.fxd'),
Location of the fxd file is wherever you want, but the fxd file contains
the info for each radiostation. Like so;
...................
<freevo>
<container title="Web Radio" type="webradio">
<container title="Non-WAIX AU Radio">
<audio title="NOVA 93.7FM">
<url>mms://38.112.16.114/nova937</url>
<cover-img>nova.jpg</cover-img>
</audio>
<audio title="Triple JJJ rm">
<cover-img>jjj.jpg</cover-img>
<url>rtsp://media1.abc.net.au/encoder/triplej.rm</url>
</audio>
<audio title="Triple JJJ asx">
<url>mms://38.112.16.114/nova937</url>
<cover-img>jjj.jpg</cover-img>
</audio>
<audio title="96FM">
<url>http://203.30.47.38/96fm</url>
</audio>
</container>
</container>
</freevo>
.................
Each station with minimal info above is separated by a CR. As you can
see there are many types of stream that can be used. Be aware that with
many webradio links you get on the internet, you will have to open up
the linked file in a text editor and look for the actual stream link
(asx or rm).
The only problem I appear to have with this system is forcing the
webradio audio to use my digital out hwplug from my soundcard, whereas
all my other movies and music use digital flawlessly. (*shrug*)
