This is the API I found - it provides a way to shwo cover art but needs
an API key which is supplied to an "app" ( any piece of s/w which uses
radionomy)  creator and AFAICT all app subscribers use it.

I think that their API (at least the one I looked at in 2013 or so) was
for broadcasters rather than listeners.
However, they are broadcasting using Shoutcast compatible ICY data (I
didn't check to see if it is a real Shoutcast server or Icecast etc).
For example - the ICY data when I played it a few minutes ago was:
ICY Info: StreamTitle='Accardo violin : Canino piano - Mozart : Violin
Sonata G major KV 301 II Allegro';

So - this should make LMS think that this is an artist called "Accardo
violin : Canino piano" playing a track called "Mozart : Violin Sonata G
major KV 301 II Allegro"
This /might be/ from
https://www.discogs.com/Wolfgang-Amadeus-Mozart-Violin-Sonatas-KV-301-303-481/release/1046200
... (correct soloists) which could then lead to artwork of ...
https://www.discogs.com/release/1046200-Violin-Sonatas-KV-301-303-481/images
and Discogs has APIs ... but it might be too much guess work for
classical stuff.

I did some more digging and found that Radionomy were going to look at
making artwork available to LMS ... but that was in 2011
http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?82680-Radionomy-web-radio-service-now-available-on-the-Squeezebox-!=607881=1#post607881

Note - I was talking about per-track artwork not station logo. If the
issue is the station logo then I presume that submitting the station
info to TuneIn/RadioTime would result (eventually) in it appearing there
with copied logo (Mozart headshot).

Radionomy has an API to provide all sorts of info about what is playing
but that would require a custom plugin which is beyond the OP's
skillset. Unfortunately, the simple solution I suggested doesn;t work
either. Editing the Favorites.opml file and adding the station icon
results in LMS showing the icon in the favorites list but radio mast
icon is still shown when playing.

Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Mozartiana Radio Feed

2016-05-10 Thread Paul Webster

If the streaming station inserts the artist name and track title into
the stream - e.g. via Shoutcast protocol - and does it as "artistname -
tracktitle" then there is a good chance that LMS (via TuneIn) will show
matching artwork.
However, given that the particular station that you are talking about is
playing classical music and has titles like
"Malat : Kurpfalzisches Kammerorchester Mannheim - Mozart : Divertimento
E flat major KV 113 IV Allegro"
then there is little chance of this matching anything.
A custom plug-in could try to work it out assuming that there is a
source that could provide the covers.

No _simple_ way. It can be done, but does involve some coding. And then 
it's still depending on the data quality on Last.fm. It might cover most 
contemporary pop music, but little Classical or local (to my country)

There are really not that many stations that provide art in the stream ,
nothing Logitech can do about that


LMS offers hooks to implement this kind of service. My experience with 
the radio station I'm using the most is it can work pretty well (using 
Last.fm to provide the artwork), but is prone to errors, as it's only 
artist/track name based search.

Tune in probably provided a lot , and probably some off the other radio
directory type app's we have .

Tune in also provides LMS and mysqueezebox.com with your local radio
menus and that structure to explore other countries and cities, a nice
touch .

In reality internet radio is 100's of thousands off channels with ever
changing urls so a directory service helps a bit I think :) otherwise
it's the usual hunt for a new url when they change .

TuneIn is a directory and its "Value-add" is to insert station-art and
also "what playing now" fdor those station which don't provide it - they
make exsiting streaming URL "better" and presumably somebody pays this
somehow.

Othwesie adding art to a streamign URL is not simple on LMS and the
curver gets even steeper. LMS can display a single icon for a radio
station but you need to create an OPML file which is then setup as a
Favorite or manually edit the Favorties OPML file.  In the "outlkne" for
the Mozartiana station you are defining you can add an URL for the
"icon" parameter - this URL point to the station artwork.

2016-05-09 Thread StevePalmer

Problem solved (I think!)

(I'm pretty unfamiliar with this whole technical side of
streaming/internet radio etc, but I like the convenience!)

My original preset linked to a url hosted by TuneIn.com - that link
doesn't work any more (there's a recorded message with an American
accent saying this station doesn't steam and to contact the radio
station). So I guess it used to be OK but they've stopped streaming the
Mozartiana service for whatever reason - I think I'd been using that url
link ever since I first bought the SB radios a few years back.

Now if Link the preset to http://streaming.radionomy.com/Mozartiana, the
preset works fine.

However, I noticed that there's no 'station art' for the station or
(m)any other Radionomy stations. Does anyone know if that's a temporary
glitch, or do I need to do something my end? 

Thanks everyone! :)

I don't think I ever added it using a straight url (it's been a while

box stating it's opml.radiotime.com/Tunes.ashx?.. plus a load of other

The method I think I used for adding it was to search for the station
name. But I can't seem to find the station any more.

Sorry for not sounding very competent with this!

Hi BPA. The station is not playing on any of my radios. I had it as a
preset. It says 'the play list is empty'. I gave the url simply as a
reference point for the station. I wasn't suggesting I was trying to use
it on the radios.

All other presets I've created  work fine. Mozart ian gas been fine up
until a few days back.

Does this help?

Thanks.
