I can't get any of the radio channels to work on the tv I got. What am I doing wrong?

[HisCicci]

I have a tv and i can turn it on and see the page to select radioi but none of the stations will load.  What do i need to get them to play??

First, you need stations that are actually on line.  At any given time, many of the stations you try will be unavailable, so you just have to keep trying until you find one that works.  Test them out by dropping the URL into the proper field in World >>> About Land >>> Sound, assuming that you have permission to change the media stream on your parcel.  Then, you need to be sure that you followed all of the creator's directions about setting up your radio, including the part about deeding the radio to the same group that owns your parcel (again, assuming that you have permission to deed things to the group).  Finally, you'll want to make sure that your own preferences are set to allow streaming music (in Preferences >>> Sound & Media).

Take a look at www.shoutcast.com to id stations that are playing content you want to hear. You can then load these into your TV Media Notecard or system.

Then Lets say you want Nature Sounds...

Go to

http://www.shoutcast.com/radio/Nature

Pick any MP3** stream link and right-mouse click on it. Select the Save target as... ????.pls to your desktop. Open it with any text editor. Inside you will see something like the following:

[playlist] numberofentries=1 File1=http://88.80.200.195:8000 Title1=(#1 - 13/80) stream.silent.li organic relax radio: nature sounds Length1=-1 Version=2

The Land URLs is the http://....at File=1

In this example http://88.80.200.195:8000

So in this case do: World / About Land / Sound / and set the Music URL: to http://88.80.200.195:8000

Good Listening to you!



P.S. ** It's important that you pick a station broadcasting streaming MP3 because the FMOD service that comes with SL only recognizes and supports this method.
