Error with certain TuneIn stations. #123

Closed WillBishop closed 7 years ago

WillBishop commented 8 years ago

I am trying to play Triple J on TuneIn

But I get an error of "Sorry, something went wrong"

However BBC Radio 1 works just fine.

Any ideas?

It seems I cannot get any Australian stations working

I also get a lot of 'I'm not sure what went wrong'

Some stations give me this error:

Now BBC won't work either, saying Sorry, I can't reach TuneIn

The API switch is something we need to do but I don't have an ETA at the moment, we're currently in the processes of moving the project and codebase onto a more collaborative effort as a standalone project which should make it easier for more people to contribute and hopefully get more stuff working faster.

The TuneIn stuff is improved in the new project but I can't get "play triple j on tune in to work on there either"

However there seems to be bigger issues with TuneIn from Alexa as I am getting the same errors using my TAP or Echo, Amazon are doing a lot of work to ready for the UK launch this week so I suspect things like radio stations especially outside the US are in a state of flux. I'd suggest sitting tight on TuneIn issues for a few weeks until it settles down. Hopefully we'll have the new project ready then too.

Ok thanks, I really want it because at the moment I am using a voice activated script to listen to that radio, problem is, when I use AlexaPi, it throws alsa errors saying the device is already in use, any way around this?

This project is now deprecated in favor of the new AlexaPi (https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi) which has all the features of this project and much more, such as:

Please switch over to the new project and if your issue persists there, file an issue in the new repo's issue tracker. Thank you.
