Radio URL will play when manually entered but script unable to do so

[Emma Krokus]

I have a radio station script from Shadow Bright - it runs a number of radio stations (up too 99) and I've added to it on many occasions.

Today I came across a nice new station - http://149.255.59.164:8128/stream?icy=https - but on loading, the script tells me:

"Configuration notecard line "station=New Radio http://149.255.59.164:8128/stream?icy=https" (from "Configuration") could not be parsed." and the station does not appear on the list.

 

I am presuming this is a script issue - could someone point me in the right direction to solve this please?

Thank you

You should post the source code (or where to locate the source code).

I'm pretty sure it doesn't like the ?icy=https string at the end.  See if you can use the URL without that.  If not, try making a bitly equivalent.

Rolig's suggestion worked - thank you !!

In future, would discarding anything starting with ? from a radio URL be the way to go?

Your guess is as good as mine. I suspect that it depends on the site and on what the directives in that final string are providing. All I can say is give it a try.  I have used shortened URLs (bitly or the equivalent) successfully in the past, so I know that works as well.
