Note that our database also contains stream formats that can not be played by the Cobra radio's but can be played by others.. Like AAC streams.

Obviously these should stay in the database. Streams that have an updated URL can be fixed. Enjoy editing!

Hello! New here, and to internet capable stereos. Recently purchased a Cobra CIR2000, totally unaware of the situation these devices were in.
Was tempted to send the system back, but I found you guys  and am determined to make the most of the system.

Similar to Ziggy73's original post, I have found that a majority of Stations listed for my country (UK) are unavailable - most likely, I assume, to changes in stream locations.

There are still some entries in my Favourites (Live Radio) which cannot be deleted in spite of the shown red cross X.
After clicking on the red cross nothing happens. Is there anything I can do?

Yes, among with various other changes to the website..

If you go to radio, tv, podacast, vodcast.. then there should be a MyFavorites button on the left side of the screen. This lists all favorites and let you also remove them.

Is there a way of seeing, within the Web site, which stations I have selected as my favorites?

Just a small remark from my side to everyone.

If I search for a specific station in the Database it looks like many double or triple entries have been make in the past.

For example I searched today for Q-Music Belgium, that station had about 10 entries! And only 2 of them worked.

So I cleaned it up and now only one entry is visible, the other ones I've deleted.

What I would like to say is, please have a look if a station is available already and if it works or not.

If it's there and it works great! If it's there but not working please make it work or delete it.

In that way we'll clean up the database and remove all the double or triple links!

Thanks in advance.

 

 

Yes, of course when a station is gone it can be removed..

Thank you very much for your reply and the tips.

I can understand that you do not really want to remove dead links however sometimes the radiostation simply does not exist anymore, for example 24/7 motown & Durham FM. I would have thought that removing these non-existing links would cut down on the size of the database and might speed up search times.

All the other things I am looking forward to.

In case I can ever capture any of the error message I am going to put it in this thread.

Thanks once again.

I have come across some issues & wondered if it is just me or a general thing. 1. Database: It appears that a quite a few of the links I have tried for example in the Live Radio Database appear to be dead & would need removing.

Hi, lets see what we can fix for you.
I prefer to fix entries rather than just remove them. I have updated your account so that you can edit them yourself.

2. Database: When trying to click on 'Listen to stream' it opens a new window but the stream either times-out, is invalid or just plain dead. Adding some to 'My Favourites' will work and they play on my Disgo TVGO but not always. 3. Database: Sometimes clicking on links to add to 'My Favourites' will add it but also create an error message about some lines in a script being wrong. 4. Search: After having searched for Radio Stations to add to 'My Favourites' I can only add one. Then it jumps back to the 'Live Radio' listings and in order to add another I have to redo the search.

Opening streams works if your browser and media player are setup for that. If there is any kind of popup blocking etc. then it will not work.
Also there are some issues with how the links are opened. I will look into this. Also wil ltry to fix the adding of stations from a search.

5. On the radio itself a lot of the preexisting links in the 2 sub-menu don't seem to work. Either the player jumps straight back to the menu or just hangs.

The main links are working, the links after that are offered by the content provider.
It is possible that some links are not available 24 hours a day. I will check them.

6. Favourites: There does not seem to be any particular sort order. Is there a way to sort them? Maybe even freely categorize them?

Correct, this is on the todo list.

7. Favourites: I have tried to add a radio station to the database & also to 'My Favourites'. In this example I tried both the existing entries for 'Radio Wuppertal' in the database neither of which works. I tried to add a new working link to the database and it seemed to have been accepted but it never appeared. Then I tried adding it just to 'My Favourites' and got a message along the line that the address already exists in the database. After checking I discovered that while the first part of the address exists the second and further part differ. So I can not add the working link now. I can understand that you do not want everyone to be able to edit the main database as it would create too much of an opportunity for mischief but would it be possible to have editing rights to the links in our own 'Favourites'?

I have fixed Wuppertal for you. Also, you can edit links now.

Sorry if it sounds all the above sounds very critical. I understand that this is work in progress but I just thought it might be worth mentioning in case it is just me or I have overlooked something.

yes, thats fine. Thanks for your remarks.

So am I the only one with these issues or is there something I have overlooked?

Hello,

I just recently started using your firmware. Have to say great job. However I have come across some issues & wondered if it is just me or a general thing.
