Cannot identify m3u8 easily #1234

Hi,

Thank you for developing RadioDroid, a very efficient and ad-free android radio application.

For Radio France streams, using m3u8 streams allows to avoid 30 seconds of ads message at startup (old streams like mp3 or aac does include the ads). When browsing radio-browser.info, I can see which feeds have the HLS stream info type.

But when using RadioDroid to add a station, that information is not displayed and it makes radio identification very difficult.

I tried to edit my favorites to provide the wanted m3u8 feed, but because of missing RADIOBROWSERUUID information, that does not work. And bad luck, browsing radio-browser.info does not display the UUID (or I did not find it).

So is there a way to identify or easily create a favorite lists for my radios from Radio France with only m3u8 feeds ? or could the HLS information displayed in the stations list when it is the case ? That would help a lot.

OK, I found the web page to add a new station on Radio Browser : https://www.radio-browser.info/add

And adding tag HLS helps to identify it in RadioDroid.

You can close this item, sorry for opening it before searching... (did not know I could add new station by myself).

Hi @pled,

browsing radio-browser.info does not display the UUID

I support the idea that radio-browser.info offers the RADIOBROWSERUUID information 👍

Workaround: In the meantime, you can download and open a m3u playlist that contains your favorite radio station from radio-browser.info. You will find the RADIOBROWSERUUID in this m3u file.
