PS3-Radio: How to add thousands of radio station to PS3MS

[ps3-radio]

I'll look into the TV stations. I'll have to find a listing and then see if the PS3 will play them. If so, I might be able to parse the web to build a local listing.

I pasted your Toronto stations in my favorites.csv
I reran PS3RADIO steps 2 & 3.

The stations appear in my menu but when I try to play them, I get 'unsupported data'

Do they work for you on the PS3?


ps: I found a bug in my code with URLs containing an "=" sign. I have updated the program.

[ps3-radio]

All of your Toronto stations are playlists and not the actual stream locations.

I manually opened each file and grabbed the stream location.
I also created a Toronto skyline icon.

Here is the updated info: (tested each one, they all work now)

Toronto - Q107 CILQ Classic Rock,http://208.80.52.108:80/CILQFM,file:///C:/Program Files/PS3 Media Server/PS3-Radio-Icons/Toronto.png

note: I have updated the PS3RADIO.zip with the Toronto station info

I'll see if I can have PS3RADIO.exe download and convert playlists for us.
It would mean that more of the stations would work for us.

Hi thanks for this... it works great here. I was also really glad to see that my little island Guadeloupe is among the countries. Just to let you know that I've changed the french flag associated to it (which is technically absolutely correct) for this one http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File: ... PLG%29.svg ... which suits better to my heart
Keep up the good work and thanks again.

Another update:

1st: to rasfigjohn: Glad it works for you and I have updated the flag icon to your choice. Since you live there, I assume you know which flag is yours!
How many stations do you see for your country?


To everyone:
----------------
Download the 12 August 2009 release. I have made a significant change. Since the PS3 can not play 'playlists', the PS3RADIO program contacts every URL and tries to extract the real IP info. This has caused many unplayable stations to suddenly work. rasfigjohn: I now see 3 stations for your country. Was it 3 before?

As a test, before you download and update, check out the US-Washington Comedy channel called "Cringe". Does it play?
Download and update. Does Cringe work now? The update fixed it and MANY more stations. This update will add a significant number of stations to your list.

hello everyone,

i can't seem to get all the world radio stations back after adding some favorites to the favorites.csv file. after updating it i ran ps3 radio again and just did steps 2 and 3. after doing this all that i get is the favorites folder showing on my PS3. i tried upgrading to 9.08.12 and going through all the steps again but still only the favorites folder shows up.

thanks

[ps3-radio]

post your favorites file here.

Most likely a stray character is causing grief. Perhaps I can change my the program to check for it once I know what can go wrong.

[phrozenstare]

ok man thanks. the new entries are the last ones on the list

i had to zip it cause the forums wouldn't allow the csv extension

[phrozenstare]

looks like i was able to get everything back i just deleted the favorites files and reloaded it by downloading the ps3radio files again and this time i just placed my added favorites at the top of the list. thanks anyway but maybe you can use the file i posted for reference if something similar comes up.
