It is only tunein that is not working. Try Streema, which was alsostuck
on the old jingle but is now fine. The new website player is working,
though my phone cannot handle it. I have linked directly to the stream
here as the player will not read the .pls file, otherwise all OK.
I think the problem with tunein is with themselves. Wait a dy or two and
lets see if they catch up; Streema did.
regards,
Simon.

Once you have the various streams up and running, can you please let
me know what they all are and I can advertise them on social media.

I have just started looking at the website but it will take me a
couple of days to work out/remember how it all works and to put up a
link to the stream, show reel or whatever we make available. Start the
stream whenever you want and I will put up a link on our website as
soon as I can.
I will let you know when this is done, then it can be promoted elsewhere.

Simon.

Ok, have just asked tune in to play Hastings rock, and have
listened to the jingle, and that's all, Nick, are we in a position
yet to start the pre-broadcast stream? If so, let's get it going,
and then Sarah can drop that out to social media and perhaps
Simon, or Sarah, can pop,it up on the web site as well, so people
can start listened get in, and getting their "tech" ready, given
the ammout of aggravation we have with people unable to listen to
the stream when we first come on, would be good to get these
wrinkles ironed out before hand.... 😄

Just to let you know we are now available on the Reciva
internet radio platform and on the Tunein and Streema apps.
Nothing as yet from Pure, vtuner or Frontier Silicon though I
know Jon has contacted the latter.
No one has responded regarding my question about Radio Player.
Thoughts please.

Simon.

As promised I have sent a request for us to be added to
the following:
Internet Radio Portals:Reciva, Pure
Internet Radio Apps: Streema, vtuner, tunein
The most onerous of these being tunein where you have to
sign up to all sorts of conditions which I have done, so I
hope we have the music license to cover this? They also
put advertising in the stream, at least at the start so I
find it rather irritating in my view.
The only major player I have problems with are Frontier
Silicon, which provide the chips in current Roberts sets
(and others). As Roberts is quite a popular make I think
Frontier should be contacted. The trouble is you have to
have a set and I do not have one. My Roberts has a Receva
chipset so I can (have) added us to their database but I
cannot add us to Frontier.
If anyone has a later Roberts internet radio or other set
containing Frontier Silicon technology, then here is the
link to set up an account where you can then add our
stream. Please let us all know if you can help and if/when
you have completed the task.

The stream url is:
http://www.hastingsrock.co.uk/32k-aac.pls
The other big portal here in the UK is Radio Player. I
contacted them in 2013 and they require payment (£99
annually at that time) and could not come down due to
agreements with those who funded it in the first place
(BBC and major commercial players) even though we are only
on a short time. However, it might be good for us to be
there as its UK based (none of the apps listed above are)
and carries no advertising - except any the station itself
chooses to add. It is also heavily promoted so is perhaps
not a lot of money in the overall scheme of things. I have
not done so as yet but will contact them again if you
wish? Perhaps we could get someone to sponsor it, then we
would have to add our own message at the start! Thoughts
please.
http://www.radioplayer.co.uk/for-stations
There are loads of portals for TVs and other connected
devices but we cannot cover them all so listeners will
have to add us themselves if they want to use anything a
bit obscure. We will only cover the major players.
So just a matter of waiting for a response from those
contacted so far.
regards,
Simon.

Hi all,
Back a good number of meetings ago we agreed to put a
"placeholder"
audio recording on our web server and point the
Internet streams at it.
That way anyone tuning in outside the broadcast would
get a helpful
ditty explaining we're not on air and when we are on
air, we seamlessly
switch it over to the live feed. This also means Simon
doesn't have to
keep updating TuneIn etc. with new feeds every year.
I think this was left with me to (technically) make it
happen (which is
probably why it's not come up again) however we need
someone to actually
make said ident such that I actually implement this.
It's probably
because no one individual actually got this part of
the job that it's
fallen off the radar. Anyway, since we're now going
ahead I think this
needs to be done as a matter of urgency since as Simon
will tell you, it
takes some time for the Internet radio servers to
catch up. Plus it'll
serve as a bit of self promotion should anyone
actually tune it as we
can tell them when we are actually on air....
In other news, I dug out the server from the loft
yesterday and yep,
it's packed up. So I'm going to need to buy a new
machine now.... One
day things will just work when I dig them out of
mothballs (anyone else
miss "toaster", than old 266 lasted for years and was
practically
indestructible, the only thing that finally did for it
was dodgy power
at the Robert). I should be able to get something
suitable for under
£100 if that's ok everyone?
