After some thought I've decided to switch to a different Windows player (MusicBee). I feel it will have better support (well it hasn't been updated in a while so we'll see) and has more of the features I want.

I used to be an Linux user and I'm happy that these user have a quality player (Strawberry) they can use. I wish you all the best.

I was able to download the new version 1.1 dated 7-14-24. It was the msvc version. Thanks! However I launch it and it pauses for a couple seconds and closes (crashes?).

I'll try the other version. I did uninstall the old one 1st.

Thanks

@jonas I sent an email to the address you provided with a copy of the transaction.

Thanks

@jonas

I think I paid via Paypal, I'll need to research and get back to you, thanks

I don't get why I'm forced to pay $5.00 monthly when I have already been a paid supporter of the program multiple times.

I don't know how to compile programs so that is not an option nor should I have to do that.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here?

Anyway I appreciate the update and the time you have put into the development.

Thanks

@arno Thanks, SomaFM is great! But not so much for talk radio. Also why be restricted to what you can hear?

@ben2talk

Thanks, nice list! Still have issues with the m3u8 files playing but the others work. Hopefully a newer revision of Strawberry will fix this.

@athoopen

That works thanks. Issue is as far as I can see is it does not work for many streams. Namely the m3u type stream. MP3 streams work just fine. The m3u format is the most common form of stream now it seems.

@athoopen

Hi I created a text file in notepad:

NewsRadio.m3u

I just copied what you gave me without changing it:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:0, BNR Nieuwsradio
https://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/BNR_NIEUWSRADIOAAC.pls

I get the following with the warning symbol:

This appears to be a text file

../gst/playback/gstparsebin.c(2409): type_found (): /GstPlayBin3:pipeline-9-pipeline/GstURIDecodeBin3:uridecodebin3/GstURISourceBin:urisourcebin8/GstParseBin:parsebin7: ParseBin cannot parse plain text files

Am I suppose to use a different program to create the file other than notepad?

Thanks!

I agree I would like to see for features available for the Radio Stations and the ability to add more varied stations. For example BBC Radio 4. I can get the link to play in VLC but not Strawberry. See below:

Thanks!
