Radio Stations on Beomaster 5

13 replies

Hi,

 

Is there a way to manually edit the radio stations (or their streaming URL)

I live in Belgium and a little under a year ago the Flemish Public Radio all changed their URL's.

It seems that B&O no longer maintains this, so I was wondering if there was a way to update this by editing a config file. Googling didn't turn up anything useful, so I hope someone on the forum might be able to help.

Hi

I have the BS5 with the BM5 and B&O is still updating the service.

I had a station where the URL was changed and they made the change on their side.

I just wrote to their support.

Hm... In December 2020, the update stopped for me. After a lengthy correspondence with Beo Service, I gave up and bought a used BS5 on Ebay. From there I copied the databases and logo files back to my system ... I am based in Germany. Maybe the Europa server is down?


Hi Volker,

 

This worked perfectly. I was able to update the streams for my local stations. They only serve 128 kbit streams, and they all worked fine.

For future updates, I've added a share to the E:\cache\data folder

 

Thanks very much!

Best Regards,
Bart

nice idea ... that was already possible on the old XP platform. Greetings Volker

 

Hallo Volker

Da ist es was ich schon lange suche! Ich möchte URL von calmradio ( persönliches abo, werbefrei) hören. 

Mit PC bin ich nicht soo vertraut, aber einen Zugang zum service menue kann ich machen. Wie komme ich dann in die files der URL? und wie kopiere ich die entsprechenden URL in dieses file? Sehe ich dann die bereits aktivierten URL der programmierten Stationen?

Sorry für die Fragen, aber B&O software hat so ihre Tücken!

Freundliche Grüsse Ruedi Wild

Hi Ruedi,

zu Deinen Fragen:

1. Wie komme ich dann in die files der URL?
Es ist keine Datei sondern eine sqlLite Datenbank. Man benötigt einen Editor um solche Datenbanken zu bearbeiten. Ich empfehle die kostenlose Version von dBeaver.

2. wie kopiere ich die entsprechenden URL in dieses file?
Wenn man die Datenbank geöffent hat, kann man diese bearbeiten. In Deinem Fall z. B. eine neue Station hinzufügen.

3. Sehe ich dann die bereits aktivierten URL der programmierten Stationen?
Ja. und nicht nur die. Man Sieht auch das Land, Genre, Logofile etc.

Wenn Du mir deine Datenbank zusendest, kann ich es auch für Dich einpflegen. Aber die Hürde musst Du nehmen: Das Kopieren der Datenbank Datei (E:\cache\data\nradio.db) . Hier hat "bdepret" die beste Lösung herausgefunden.

Gruß Volker

 

 

 

Hello

I wonder if this application would work with personal URL like calm radio? I tried the workaround, but there is no possibility to enter personalised URL.

maybe I have not got the right way to achieve it. Thank you  for your hints!

Best regards Ruedi

Hi Ruedi,

do you have to enter your credentials after calling up the stream URL or did you get a URL with an ID or something similar?

Here is a picture of what the nradio.db looks like in DBEAVER :
