Invalid stream URL with username:password


Recommended Posts

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature request, but when I attempt to add a stream URL in the format "https://username:password@example.com/stream.mp3", Poweramp won't let me tap 'Add' because it thinks it's an Invalid URL (I think because of the colon between username and password). Which, maybe it isn't a valid URL, but it would be nice to have the option to access streams requiring authentication.

You could try escaping the technically-incorrect colon to %3A, thus: "https://username%3Apassword@example.com/stream.mp3". Might try doing the same with the "@" to %40. Worth a try anyway.

Totally worth a shot, thanks for the reply! Unfortunately, looks like the input field doesn't like the '%' either - in the end, maybe that's the bug/feature request: to allow url-encoded stream URLs.

Yeah, those work for me too, actually. It seems like the issue is with certain characters earlier in the URL. I think I was able to find a work-around, though, by exporting my Streams, editing the SQLite3 file and then importing that back into Poweramp. Not ideal, but for my use-case, this isn't the worst. Thanks for testing this out with me, Andre.
