The problem

Tune-In provides for some radio stations (e.g. Radio Swiss Classic or Radio Swiss Pop) several streams. Such entries do not work, while stations with a single stream do work correctly.

Do not try to fill in the conclusion yourself. The problem is that Radio Swiss is not working on Tune-In. If that has anything to do with the fact that multiple streams are offered is to be seen later.

I politely disagree with your reply, Marcel. Radio Swiss Classic (shown radio station on the screen shot) does perfectly work on Tune-In, Radio Swiss might not exit and might hence not work.

Investigated the issue, like I suspected it had nothing to do with the fact that there were multiple streams in the radio station. In fact it was a codec detection issue which I just fixed. Next update (2.0.7 or 2.1.0b6) contains this fix.

@ufankhau Please confirm this has been fixed.

Thx Marcel for fixing the issue with no stream being picked up when several streams are offered by Tune-In Radio for a specific radio station. It is still unclear to me, which stream music-assistant does pick up by default (acc or mp3), when several streams are available. The UI does furthermore not always show the "type" of stream (see ? in screen shot attached). I have so far not identified a pattern of when the type is shown correctly and when a "?" is showing up. Last but not least music-assistant shows sometimes 2 streams in the "Queue" section (see attached screen prints), even for a radio station with a single stream offered by Tune-In Radio (e.g. Radio Beach Westkust).

So, overall a great step in the right direction with some glitches remaining to be fixed (e.g. "?" in UI and double entry in Queue)

PS: I like very much the changes brought to the volume bar with the - and + buttons .... for the time being the default step change seems to be +/- 5% .... could this value be defined by the user in future? I personally prefer +/- 2% changes in volume ....

On the second image that just looks like you have added it twice

[ufankhau]

Sorry, but I did not add it twice .... I have repeated the steps and cleared the queue ...

.. selected the desired radio station and started it with "Play Now (clear queue)"

... the stream starts correctly, the queue shows 1, but in fact it lists two items .....

... sorry for being such a pain .....
