**mitchjs** · 06-12-2011, 02:06 PM

this adds web radio... it uses Winamp as player (so you have to have winamp properlly installed)
(you dont have to use winamp for RR has nothing to do with that)
sample skin for carwings is included
a bunch of streams included

thanks to Dartman_71 for his ideas and testing...

Awesome plugin. I have it working well, but few things I've noticed regarding winamp. For some reason when loading road runner it loads 2 instances of winamp - one for the radio and one for my music. Not a huge issue but if I listen to radio and then switch to my music, I can't adjust the eq as it's focussed on the instance playing radio.

I've tried manually closing one of the instances after loading RR but this creates its own issues. If I listen to music and then try to listen to radio, the radio stations won't load and I get an invalid URL message.

Any suggestions?

great plugin! is it possible to start a stream by double clicking on the list item in any way?
further i made a skin for elite lite 1.6.6 - if anyone wants it or mitch want to include it, let me know.

**pierrotm777** · 10-11-2011, 08:04 AM

it uses its own instance of winamp, the eq should match the other instance(music), its complicated...
dont be closing any instances of winamp

Thanks

Images goes to genre folders, for example RideRunner\Plugins\RRWebRadio\Streams\Dance

If your station is playlist like... Radio Plaa Plaa.m3u then you name image Radio Plaa Plaa.jpg.
If you use URL for example http://83.145.201.209:8000/ then you name your image WebRadio_83.145.201.209.8000
