sabandy Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hi! I try to stream my favorite radio station via Poweramp - but I can't get it running. The url that I found is http://www.ndr.de/resources/metadaten/audio/m3u/ndr1niedersachsen.m3u When I put this url to VLC the stream starts playing immediatly. Poweramp accepts the url when adding it into the streams section but it plays nothing. Can anybody help me to hear my favorite radio station in my favorite music player?

6b6561 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I downloaded the m3u file which is a playlist, this contained a single URL which points to http://ndr-ndr1niedersachsen-hannover.cast.addradio.de/ndr/ndr1niedersachsen/hannover/mp3/128/stream.mp3 which plays nicely. @maxmp is the playlist broken or is it PA which isn't able to read a .m3u with just a URL in it?

andrewilley Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 That M3U file works fine for me, I just downloaded it (i.e. ndr1niedersachsen.m3u ) and placed it inside my normal PA Playlists subfolder. A quick rescan and there it was, with the radio station showing as the only item inside the Playlist. Or you could extract the direct link for station stream (http://ndr-ndr1niedersachsen-hannover.cast.addradio.de/ndr/ndr1niedersachsen/hannover/mp3/128/stream.mp3) from within the M3U text file, and paste it into PA's 'Add Stream URL' feature if you prefer. It played "A Walk in the Park" by the Nick Straker band by the way, then "Perfect" by Fairground Attraction, and "I Can See Clearly Now". I like your taste in music stations!

6b6561 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 It's logical after all: the add streams dialog expects a URL to a stream, and the link provided is a m3u is a playlist. the m3u works fine as a playlist. So it works as designed, nothing to see, please move on! 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elmar Moser Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Hi, I have the same problem with m3u-file. I've applied your workflow and added the file "https://streams.br.de/bayern1obb_1.m3u" to my playlist (Wiedergabeliste), but nothing happened. ??? best regards Elmar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 @Elmar Moser That M3U file is merely a container (playlist file) holding the actual stream link, duplicated three times for some reason. You could download the file bayern1obb_1.m3u to your local device and PA would pick up the contents as a playlist, or just add the actual URL that is contained in the M3U file, which is https://dispatcher.rndfnk.com/br/br1/obb/mp3/low . Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
