It is only tunein that is not working. Try Streema, which was also
stuck 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.

Simon.

Technical issues (I think that’s the right phrase) are preventing

that fact….

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.

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.
http://www.wifiradio-frontier.com/setupapp/fs/asp/authlogin/RegForm.asp?lngy=eng
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?
