Radio stations not playing with error code: 501 - Pepsican - 13-08-2017 16:22

Hi

I have a problem streaming radio stations from an M3U file. Note that when I run the M3U file in Foobar2000, things work fine. The URLs also play in webbrowser, so I am certain it is not the stream location.

Control point: BubbleUPnP
Renderer: mRendu with BubbleUPnP Server installed as OpenHome renderer.
UPnP Tweak: mime-type check is turned off on the control point.
MinimServer & Streamer are the latest version and run on DSM 6.1 with ffmpeg.

When I try to stream a station, I receive "Action failed (Code: 501)". Any ideas what this means? How can I debug this?

Code:

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:-1, BNR Nieuwsradio, 128kb

http://icecast-bnr.cdp.triple-it.nl:80/bnr_mp3_128_03

#EXTINF:-1, NOS Radio 1, 192kb

#EXTINF:-1, 3FM Serious Radio, 192kb

Your current M3U file settings are for a direct connection to the internet radio streams and it appears that the microRendu renderer is not able to play them properly.

Instead, you can configure the M3U file to route the internet radio streams via MinimStreamer in order to get it to help the renderer play them. This is described in the "Routing network streams via MinimStreamer" and the "Transcoding" sections of the MinimStreamer User guide:

To get you started, one of the first things to try is to see if providing additional audio stream information, such as the audio format, helps. All those streams are in the mp3 audio format, so the following change to the M3U file should route them through MinimStreamer and get MinimStreamer to provide the mp3 audio format additional information in the streams:

Code:

#EXTM3U

#EXTINF:-1,[BNR;mp3] BNR Nieuwsradio, 128kb

The problem might be that these streams are "icecast" and require MinimStreamer processing to remove the icecast metadata from the stream before passing the stream to the renderer.

You're good. You're very good!

The file as you included it in your reply is the version that fixed it. Just the tags was not enough. I needed to include the file type.
