** Hastings Rock Radio **
Am a little puzzled by this, we went around this 2-3 years ago by
ensuring as best we could most of the portals had a link that is valid
all of the time. There may be one or two really old ones (like possibly
the one Nick had) that were never updated with this beyond that nothing
should changing.
It's possible I'm getting over excited about nothing here but....
If a portal was carrying our placeholder prior to the broadcast then
everything is working and we should not be given them "new" information
for the broadcast which may then be incorrect when we finish & hence we
go around the whole darn thing again afterwards. If a particular portal
hasn't yet switched over, that is down to caching at their end and they
generally will switch although it may take a day or so. We know this
from previous years and there is nothing we can do about it aside from
adding confusion. For example, we know TuneIn needed a particular URL to
avoid them losing our stream post broadcast, if you end up giving one of
them the "wrong" URL that will break things down the line.
Rgs,
Jon.

Hi Andy,
It is not a problem of the stream net address. It did not change last
night. As I said in a summary post, this is a problem at Streama. They
have an out of data address from whenever it was when they were given
the information, maybe some years ago?
I noticed last night when we split from the loop. I have sent them the
correction, just a matter of waiting for them to correct. Will let you
know when they have.

Hi Simon,
This is from Ray Copeland on the DJ FB group:
"Yes Roberts on launch loop ... the stream net address must have
changed when the launch occurred at midnight for this to happen...
can we not utilise that steam address?"
Several people are reporting that they are stuck with the
pre-recorded message that was on the website, and not all seem to be
able to refresh their radios by unplugging & plugging in again.
Cheers,
Andy

** Hastings Rock Radio **
Here is a summary so far:
--
Portals (some of these feed internet radios and maybe smart
speakers?)
TuneIn: Ok
vTuner: OK
Streama (+Simple Radio app): broadcasting our loop - have contacted
them
with updated info so hopefully this will be corrected soon
airable - contacted them with the info but no web interface so don't
know
--
Internet Radios
Reciva: - OK - we were only listed under 'Genre' but following
contact
now also geo, in 'UK' list
Pure: - contacted them with the info but no web interface so don't
know
Frontier: - they use airable, no web interface so don't know
--
Not sure about smart speakers as I do not know what they use,
probably
one or more of the portals. I think the above gives us pretty
comprehensive coverage though.
regards,
Simon
