Description Barry Caruth 2007-01-30 10:06:45 UTC

Please add support for UK Channel4 Radio streams to SqueezeNetwork. They seem open to partnerships (just implemented WiFi streaming via The Cloud metropolitan WiFi network). 

Most of their streams are MP3 but they have some DRMd WMA which obviously wouldn't work.

Comment 1 Andy Grundman 2007-01-30 10:13:34 UTC

If they have mp3 streams, they're already supported.  Do they not work?

Comment 2 Barry Caruth 2007-01-30 10:21:47 UTC

The Mp3 streams play fine - I was referring to making their available content browsable via the SqueezeNetwork interface.

Comment 3 Andy Grundman 2007-01-30 10:41:49 UTC

So you just mean add them to SD Picks?

Comment 4 Barry Caruth 2007-01-30 10:44:29 UTC

Well yes - except they don't just have a single stream to tune into for the station - each show is on demand - more like a podcast than Internet Radio so I think there might be a bit of work required to interface with their list of available shows.

Comment 5 Andy Grundman 2007-01-30 10:47:06 UTC

Ah ok, so they should provide an RSS feed for their podcasts, or an OPML feed.
