Fixed Radiobrowser - Access Error issue on some models

[jonnieZG]

Fixed issues:

• Station UUIDs used by radiobrowser are translated into shorter strings, to work with some older radios (#67 and #74)
• Fixed radiobrowser service stations/byuuid/ REST method name

Thanks for your work :+1: I've annotated a few things for you.

The main fix is the shortening of the ID. Am I getting this right?

Exactly. Tested and working on my ancient V477.

Hello

I tested version 1.1.1 with my Yamaha NP-S2000.

The following result:

Operation directly on the Yamaha NP-S2000: seems to be OK. I haven't seen any errors so far.

Operation via the “NP controller” APP does not work. When selecting a station, the error appears on the Yamaha: "unable to play" (app: Android and IOS) Example: Radiobrowser-> Country-> Germany-> Classic Radio-> Error "unable to play"

If I use the search function on the iPad (IOS), all listed stations can be played. Search: "WDR" -> "WDR 1Live - DJ Session" -> OK, station is played back

I'm not a Phyton programmer, who can help? Suspect missing code in the APP part (Translate UUID into shorter strings)

Thank you for the great work so far.

Regards K. Hagena - Germany

@milaq this might be an off-topic question, but why the additional_info parameter in method get_station_by_id? Since station_tracking is currently hard-coded to False, it fetches the url from the service twice.

File server.py: station = get_station_by_id(stationid, additional_info=(not station_tracking))

I don-t have the NP Controller, but AV Controller, which are two branches of the same Yamaha app for different radio models. While browsing and playing on my RX-V477 works fine now, I noticed that on "AV Controller" app when browsing through categories list gets stuck somewhere after 1970's. I guess that might be an encoding problem that I'll look into. But definitely that's a different issue.

since the upgrade to the RB uuid-API i had problems with my "old" RX-V777 using RB, tested with the lastest commits. In the past time we already had the 15 char problem with some old receivers. I tried just jonnieZG's code with my receiver and RB does work now!

I don't know why my changes are not merged into the main project, but I use it anyways since it works great, and I am not bothering with that. I will keep improving my version as I see fit and you are welcome to use it.

Any news about this fix? Is it merge @milaq @jonnieZG I've got the same error on my RX-V677 and expecting this fix ;-) Thank you for your work

[mppod]

I can confirm this fixes the radio browser access error on Yamaha RX-A2010 (#77 does not) - the list of countries does not load fully though (stuck at Loading ...) - the same for other submenus under Radiobrowser->xxx->...

[SpeedyGoneZales]

Hello @milaq, would there be any chance to merge this pull request? My receiver, Marantz M-CR610, is affected, too.

Thanks.

[onkelbeh]

Can confirm this made it work again, have three RX-V679, and a RX-V481D.

I would really like to try the JonnieZG version of Ycast to my rx-v577 I cant access subdirectories. As a Github noob i cant find a way to download. Please help

Hi, I don't know if this is the right way to do it, but my method for testing each fork. Unfortunately none of them solved my problem.

cd /home/pi/tutorial-env/lib/python3.9/site-packages
svn --force export https://github.com/jonnieZG/YCast.git/trunk/ycast

To adapt to your directory tree.

[zofman]

Thank you, i'll give it a go and let you know

pip3 uninstall ycast pip3 install git+https://github.com/jonnieZG/YCast

does ist for me....

again tested a few minutes ago. (thanks to milaq and jonnieZG)

Try that too, if everything else fails. Thanks all of you !

[zofman]

Problem is still there.. "Failed to get Net-usb list" is the error i get when i try to browse with my computerapp ( Home remote) "access error"on the display of the rx-v577 I can access the first category but the next category gives the error. Hope Milaq or one of you finds a way to make the radiobrowser accessable In the Netherlands the FM frequencies are getting removed form the air in favour of DAB+ and cableproviders no longer provide analogue FM. So internetradio is the best option. preferably through my yamaha receiver.

Thank you very much, my method was really barbaric. Everything seems to be working fine but DENON N9 keeps saying FILE FORMAT ERROR

[TheBossME]

My actual Setup is nginx Proxy on debian 11 bullseye arm64 on a proxmox lxc container, together with unbound and pihole.

The Rest of the Setup is completely Same as described By milaq for nginx.

After testing several builds that of jonnieZG suits me best. To facilitate installation: pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/jonnieZG/YCast My suggestion would be to put "My Stations" before "Radiobrowser" like yay6. Merci beaucoup!

[zofman]

Tried all of the above, sadly its not working for me. I think there is something else going on in my network because the symptoms stay the same. Mystations work, radiobrowser only 1 stage ... Asus rt ac86u with Merlin to raspi2 to rx v577

I can not estimate how good your knowledge in routing Linux ... DNS.. etc... I am happy to help over a remote session if I can.

But i'm do not Programming in Python.. But, have also a Yamaha Setup Running Fine. Mine is a Network/receiver 2.0

[zofman]

Thank you for you offer, But its not worth the effort. I manually put the stations in mystations.yml And start saving money for a DAB receiver

[Essoloani]

When I got interested in YCast I didn't know anything about raspberry and even less about linux. Today I am happy with what I learned at my age. Vtuner sent a wrong message on Hi-Tech and YCast is a great response.

@zofman I had the same problem here I recognized that i had two versions of ycast installed while "uninstalling it twice"

Thank you both guys, milaq and jonnieZG. Thanks to you, my old Yamaha RX-V473 can play radio again without greedy vtuner service. Also Radiobrowser seems to be much faster than vtuner. On the milaq version ‘My Stations’ worked fine, but Radiobrowser was returning Access Error after entering category. That problem was resolved thanks to jonnieZG effort :) On his fork, Radiobrowser work just fine on my RX-V473.
