Hi all. I've been trying to figure out this streaming radio station feature, On my laptop. It works no problem. i can access it via next...i have tried on mobile and again it works no problem. But on pc i cant access the options. i tried with My account and an alt i made just to test it. i tried on edge and chrome. and uninstalled , reinstalled , cleaned cache and installed beta. cleaned my browser history and made sure i was upto date. But still no luck. i have attached a picture. Anyone else suffering the same problem? or have any solution to fix. I have attached pictures. Thank you so much (Ps if this in in wrong topic. I apologize)
Hi @JasonJayJa, most URLs or addresses for the main page of an internet radio station or music streaming service usually will not work. The only URLs that work in the IMVU "Live" room streaming radio player are known as "Direct Stream" URLs. This is a URL that, when it's opened on a standard browser (Chrome/Edge/Firefox), music usually starts playing instantly (even if it does have a control for stopping and starting it). Some radio stations have 'alternate' URLs for these pages, and that allows for this.
Now, ...in the event you have ever done any DJ'ing in IMVU and have set up and used your own radio station account on a platform such as Caster.fm, zeno.fm, radio.co, listen2myradio.com, etc, for your listeners to tune into. This new streaming radio in "Live" rooms is fantastic because people no longer have to link to your radio station separately. Everyone who enters the room will immediately hear the music playing when they come in the room.
But the same thing applies here even if you're a DJ with your own radio station. Some of these platforms' radio station page URLs for the DJs do not work, so if you are a DJ with your own radio station platform account, there is an alternative. When you sign into your radio station account and go into its dashboard or control panel, you will notice there's some place in there that has 'alternate URLs' listed for you to use. These are the direct streaming URLs that will work in the streaming radio player in a live room.
I actually built and operate my own radio station using Azuracast software, but I have the same problem with my station. The URL for the main page for my own station does not work ( https://starseedradio.com ), but my alternate 'direct stream' URL does work ( https://starseedradio.org:8000/radio.aac ).
