How to set up a really good radio player on VLC

[shantiq]

NB: This is also elsewhere on the forum but i have "refurbished it" and thought it might be of interest to "new" visitors to the site ALL THE CODE HERE is the handiwork of Ben Dowling


Radios from Listenlive.eu or shoutcast
or if like me you are an audiophile and favour high bitrates up to 320k and even one Flac
the following links will delight you

http://radio.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac
http://radiobit.50webs.com/
http://www.head-fi.org/t/255379/high-bitrate-internet-radio
http://stream.psychomed.gr/streams.html
http://www.linn.co.uk/music#radio

seen here on vlc 2.1.5 Rincewind


=======================


This is mostly all classical apart from the ones marked with ☯ are Ambient/Relaxation and ☪ classical iranian and turkish

Based on info mostly from shoutcast.com and listenlive.eu
[Links may need to be updated from time to time]

[obviously remove and add entries to suit your musical interests]

● on listenlive.eu to find url of actual station [right-click on where it says kbps/save link as/open in text editor and find url]
● on shoutcast to find url of actual station [right-click on play button to save link as/open in text editor and find url]

Thanks shan, I have scooped up your list and look forward to exploring it further!!!

[shantiq]

Andrew i was stunned to see how often they "change" their url. Two years on 8 or 9 of them had shifted. All up to date i think Oct 2013. I shall keep an eye/ear open :::]]]

took about 4 minutes to install on 13.10

Hi guys still on 13.10 and wondering is this marvellous lua script still works fine in 14.04


now in 13.10 we have VLC media player 2.0.8 Twoflower
in 14.10 you have VLC 2.1.2 Rincewind

now does the script still get picked up here


i tried Rincewind on 13.10

then tho no radio applet; so my question is any of you got this going successfully in 14.04 with Rincewind? thANx in advance for input

i downgraded again to 2.0.8 and back it is


PS I am waiting for a month or two into 14.04 since i only have one machine and have had my fingers burnt before :]]] but i want to know if the script is still ok if any of you have got it going successfully thanx

Hi guys still on 13.10 and wondering is this marvellous lua script still works fine in 14.04

I am still running a guide to build the development version of vlc and this guide has been updated for 14.04 last week. Good news is that the script works very nicely on this and I would assume would also work on the release version.

[shantiq]

Ha thanx Andrew maybe the PPA i used did not do what the standard release of VLC on 14.04 does... anyway cool this little applet matters to me much
PS added 5 prog rock stations to the list for us all 70s dudes Purple Piper is a corker by the way!
