Radio Rivendell is absolutely my favorite channel out there. However, it rarely works when accessed from http://www.radiotime.com or any of a number of iphone radio apps which utilize the radiotime database for query and playing.

Is there any way this site could get with radiotime and get this issue resolved? Very frustrating.

P.S. This is also the only radio channel that I have problems with on my PC laptop. Very rarely connects successfully, again through radiotime.

Thanks!

Mark

Hmm... that's bad news. I'll have to look it up. You can listen in your iPhone utilizing the official Shoutcast app. That one uses the data directly from Shoutcast and I believe ALL our servers are listed there. Though the 128kbit streams might be too heavy for EDGE or some 3G connections. They should play nicely over WiFi at least. RadioTime might be using a wrong/bad/dead server... will see if I can do something about it.

I just was over there and checked "our page" out (http://radiotime.com/station/s_54579/Ra ... ndell.aspx) and the first server in the list apparently doesn't work. Is there a way in the app to get to play the others?

Not on the TV channel. I reported the problem to RadioTime.com. Hopefully they'll look into it soon.

Shoutcast redid their site in the last week or so, and now pretty much everything's broken.

Noo! I just started to get friends with the last one. Perhaps this one is better. Though I liked the dark theme better. It felt more "shoutcast" :-)

Radio Rivendell is still broken on RadioTime via TV. I'll report it to them again, but Elrond may want to check from his end. I don't know, maybe they use the Shoutcast connection and that messed up???

Seems as if one of our servers has crashed. And apparently that one is on top of the list of available servers. It's still running and is operable, it's just stopped streaming from Rivendell, which makes it play 5 seconds of Rising Shadows. I have removed it from our own queue, but I cannot force other services such as Shoutcast or RadioTime to do that unfortunately :-(

Can you enter stuff manually into your box?

I figured it out. It takes a minute or two for RadioTime to load up the RR "Play" menu (must be looking for that bad server) but eventually the menu appears and the station plays just fine. :)
