Why are entries in stations.conf hardcoded? I want to remove certain streams I can't connect to. When I remove them, they still show up even if stations.conf is empty. I have more to report but I'm kinda busy right now.

Did you also remove them from /etc/soma/stations.conf?

There are no hardcoded stations. They are either in there or your local list in ~/.soma.

Nope, but will give it a try. Thanks, nice program btw.

Thanks.

The only thing is that when I add new stations to the list in /etc/soma I don't make a stations.conf.new and instead overwrite the old list. That means that the ones you remove will likely get added back.

The best way to get around this is to add your favourite stations to ~/.soma/stations.conf and they will always be at the top of the list.

That did it boss. Thanks!!! This may have resolve my other issues.

Thanks dive, I'll be adding this to my soma stations.conf file :-) ....can I ask how you figured out the url?

First I clicked on the link and saw that it played. I tried it in mplayer but it wouldn't play, but then I saw that it had aac in it and everything after that was options, so I chopped the rest off.

I have removed all of the entries from /etc/soma/stations.conf which is now a empty file and control from
/home/******/.soma/stations.conf.
Now everything is working and running smooth and don't have any issues atm. Thanks

Thanks dive, tried it with the a few other stations on that site and they work too...if only they were in the stations.conf file which comes with your soma :-) ....thanks

Well if you'd like to print out a list like:

Station Name,URL

I can add them for the next update.

I confess that I am new to soma but I am having a great time with it. A small issue though: the following plays well enough:

but when I add this to ~/.soma/stations.conf as:

I get a 'No Streams!' message. Doubtless I am missing something obvious .

It works for me, but I'm guessing that it's taking too long to load for you, so it hits the timeout catcher.

I will look into making this setting an option, but for now you could change the setting in line 337:

if [ "$COUNT" -ge 150 ]; then

Try changing 150 to something larger.

Interestingly enough this made no difference on my system but I note in a previous post in this thread there was a suggestion for Australian iiNet users (amongst others) to use some ISP sponsored bandwidth free addresses. ABC Classic FM is on this list and this address works fine with soma so I am a happy customer

Puzzling that I cannot get the direct address working...

Edit: Recompiled up to the latest svn MPlayer, crossed my fingers and now it works! Obviously a user error and my apologies for the noise as well as my thanks for this great application / script...

A few of the stations I listen to online dive, thanks.
