cannot play back a public radio station that uses m3u chunks (windows 11)

[ultraleetj]

I did the following to reproduce: followed the instructions in the read me and used the following source URL into the appsettings.json https://streaming.rtvc.gov.co/Radio_Web_Mas_Colombia/Web_Mas_Colombia.stream/playlist.m3u8

which I presume to be the master file that sends the m3u8 chunks to be played. I ran the app using command line and when I run it the following diagnostic output comes up, along with an error to check the buffer length configuration

Hi @ultraleetj,

Many thanks for reporting this issue.

I fixed the issue into version v1.0.9.

Best,

[ultraleetj]

this works a charm, thanks so much! as far as I can gather there is no way to get currently song titles correct? due to the way these stations work

[massej]

It's definitely a good thing to integrate.

I will add this feature on the to-do list,

I think there are a few stations that are sending the song titles but often the radio don't send any title information.

Many thanks for the suggestions,
