Good evening
I've just finished setting up MinimServeur on a Linux-based server (Gentooplayer) via the JPLAY IOS application.
I have retrieved the database of radio streams I listen to from Roon and it turns out that some streams in AAC format work intermittently.
the idea would be to go through MinimStreamer to be able to listen to them and also have the Logos of the Web radios
how to set them up, I'm a beginner with MinimServer
thank you for your help

You need to create a .m3u8 playlist file containing the radio stream URLs. This is a plain text file with contents like the following:
Code:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,[Linn] Linn Radio Classical
http://radio.linnrecords.com/cast/tunein.php/linnclassical/playlist.pls
#EXTINF:-1,[RPmain] Radio Paradise Main
http://stream.radioparadise.com/aac-128
.... etc.
The names in brackets [ ] are stream IDs. You can choose any names for these. They are needed to tell MinimServer that you want to use MinimStreamer to play the radio stream. Place this file anywhere in your music library.
To add a radio station logo, create a .jpg or .png file whose filename matches the stream name (not the stream ID) and place this file in the same folder as the .m3u8 playlist file. For example, the Linn Radio Classical stream could have a logo image in the file Linn Radio Classical.jpg or Linn Radio Classical.png.
After doing the above, do a MinimServer rescan.
If you are using the JPLAY app to play a MinimStreamer radio stream on your IOS device, it will probably not work because of a JPLAY issue. I reported this problem to the JPLAY developers some months ago but it is still not fixed. You should be able to play the MinimStreamer radio streams on some other renderer.
FYI … Since few versions ago JPlay can detect radio streams from Minimserver/MinimStreamer as playlists and can play them without issues
I tried playing the Linn Radio Classical station on my iPad via MinimStreamer using the latest version of JPLAY 1.2.3 (142) and it failed to play. Which version of JPLAY are you using?
I’m on beta versions (1.2.3 - 143 as of now), but I don’t play radios on iPad, I use the app to play radios to HQPlayer and then to the system, but it works playing to MPD (RoPieee and SOtM sms200 ) too
… I’ve always had issues trying to play Linn channels even without JPlay, but Naim works fine (for example, as many others) … this is Naim playing right now
What URL do you use to play Naim Classical via MinimStreamer?

The issue I mentioned in post #2 relates specifically to playing radio streams via MinimStreamer on the IOS or iPadOS device running JPLAY.
