zradio - works, but

[xamindar]

I\'d just like to share my little input on zradio.  I have had two problems with it and after fixing those, the program seems to work quite well.

1.  I had the problem of it not saving the stations I have added to the play list.  Like it was mentioned above, just fix the permissions on the xml file so that zradio has permission to write to it.

2.  After many frustrating attempts at adding the japan-a-radio stream to the list and having it fail to load the list the next time I ran zradio (the playlist would be blank), I finally figured out that certain characters can not be read by zradio.

For example, the japan-a-radio stream had the \'&\' in the station name and once I removed that from the xml playlist file (just replaced it with \'and\') zradio would load up just fine with all the stations I had added.
Strange little bug huh.

i hope this helps someone.

arnoldmm,

I installed zradio 1.2b on my SL-5000D today under OZ 3.3.6pre-1.  It is perfectly capable of functioning and does quite well under OZ.  To get around the Architecture issue, just uncompress the ipk file and extract the data.tar.gz file.  I did this using WinRAR and copied it over to my z to the root directory.

Then at the console type:
tar xzvf data.tar.gz

and it will put everything where it needs to go.
Restart OPIE.

Grab the oz-compat libs and install them from:

Then select zradio to use the compat libs.

This worked for me, if you have any questions, feel free.

I never knew about this, I think I\'ll try it out. Right now I listen to the stream off theclassicalstation.org and I\'m sharing that in case anybody else is a classical fan. I use their vog stream with xmms on OZ.  I help support them because when I pointed out to them that there was no mention of linux on their stream page they actually added instructions for it! Not that the instructions were needed for most linux users but I was impressed and so now I help support them because they have no funding outside of listeners.
Anyway, there\'s good classical and I will see if zradio works on my setup here.
