How to do remote radio streaming

I use Apple TV primarily because the iPhone Remote App lets me stream saved audio to my stereo. It would be a boon if I were able to control internet radio streams without having to be at the TV. Would also like to have the Remote App functionality on my laptop. Any thoughts?

DIY how to guide: BBC radio streams in iTunes

Been searching for a while to get BBC radio streams (for me, specifically BBC radio 4) working in iTunes, and since I could't find any information in the discussions here, this is how I did it with help from various sources on the net.
What you need:
flip4mac plugins installed (free)
VLC (free)
QuickTime 7 Pro (the regular QuickTime 7 does not allow saving)
Safari
iTunes
You'll find the bbc stream links on the below pages:
http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/playingradio_progs/real_wmastreams
http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/playingradio_progs/local_radiostreams
What I did:
1. copy the url to the radio station you want
2. open the url in VLC, let it start playing
3. save the playlist as m3u
4. open the playlist in QuickTime 7 Pro, let it start playing
5. in QuickTime 7 Pro, save the stream as .mov
6. open the .mov in iTunes and play it
Even though it lists about 10 minutes in iTunes, it will play the live stream for hours.
Happy BBC radio-ing in iTunes!

Well I know a much easier one:
open iTunes
click radios
click news/talk radios
click radio 4
That would be indeed be easier if it worked: unfortunately it doesn't - it looks rather as if the BBC have turned the stream off (unless it's a fault condition, of course).

ITunes Radio Streams Not Listed

Hi,
After installing the latest version of iTunes on a Windows XP machine, iTunes does not list the radio streams, not even the catagories of radio streams. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the radio streams visible? Prior to upgrading, the radio streams were available. Also, the computer is behind a company firewall and most, but not all, radio strams are blocked.
Thanks,
Phil

Company has now blocked all iTunes radio streams.

Everytime I want to remote my itunes from my iphone, itunes search for radio-stream updates. I often use remote when I'm not connected to Internet so itunes tell me that I should connect to Internet. This is new since 10.5. Can I turn this off?

Can I turn off the search for Radio-Stream or does someone else has an Idea how to fix the problem?

how weird is that?
oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
anyway, thank you for all the help.
to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.

How do I manually download radio stream list in 7.01?

Hello,
I reinstalled Tiger and Itunes 7.01. When I started Itunes for the first time and selected Radio I got a message that the list of radio streams need to be downloaded from the internet which I agreed to. Unfortunately I had forgotten to setup the internet connection so the download failed.
Now the list of radio streams is empty and I'm not asked if I want to download again.
How do I initiate a download of available streams manually?

I tested my previous post with my 'Test' account before posting that reply and it worked.
This is what I did:
Deleted the .plist file, disconnected modem and ran iTunes.
Clicked through the initial questions and clicked on 'Radio'.
Got an completely blank window; reconnected modem, clicked on 'Radio' and the categories appeared. Clicking on the small triangles loaded the streams.
Did the same steps again, but before connecting the modem again, I first quitted iTunes and deleted the .plist file.
Both times it worked and I got the streams.
Sorry, I don't know why it doesn't work on your system.
Your 'Radio' window is completely blank? Not even the categories?

I'm sorry, looks like the Banshee Wiki is disabled at the moment.
Arch wiki should cover everything Arch-specific and some other things *users find useful*. Arch specific means pacman, not Banshee. Do you know how do you write a wiki? You search for the relevant information and put it in there yourself, so that others could benefit. You've noticed that the wiki is lacking info about how to play radio streams in Banshee or Exaile. Great, go and find that info (read the FAQ on Banshee's site, google, read MLs) and be sure put a nice HOWTO into the Arch wiki when you find the answer.
Radio streams don't play in Exaile either. It does show that it's playing but no sound.
Doesn't anybody here use Exaile or Banshee?
I can play the streams going to radiocrazy.ch or somafm.com and then opening them with VLC.
Why would it play that way and not throught one of the other programs?

How to change Radio Stream Genres?

Hi, i'm a fan of a clean iTunes Lib. I had only 20 Genres! Thats enough!
But when i import a new MP3 Radio Stream, i get a new Genre, damm, i cant chance it.
How can i change this genre forever?
THANKS

I don't think it's that simple. Can you Francois give us the code to do that?
I am using Forms 6i release 2 and use the following code (as advised in help):
set_radio_button_property('item','radio',PROMPT,'text')
And it does not work. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this?

Radio stream on ATV - How?

I want to use the ATV to stream my favorite radio stations to my stereo (which is attached to the ATV). Of course I can select ATV as a loudspeaker in iTunes, however I would like to select my radio station directly from the ATV.
I have tried to copy the radio stations into a playlist which was synced once, but then shortly after all the stations in that playlist disappeared on the ATV.
However, they still show up greyed in iTunes, like the other synced media. Same happens when I add new radio stations.
Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

There have been other posts about this problem if you do some searches on "radio." Yeah, you need to have the computer with iTunes running somewhere, and you need to sync your radio playlist. BUT after awhile (perhaps overnight, after your computer has been turned off and back on?), the radio list might appear on the Apple TV, but you will find no "songs" (stations) in the playlist. Or, at other times the playlist might disappear.
I, and others, have tried numerous workarounds, but I don't believe there is a workaround that fixes the problem. The only way I have been able to listen to radio on my living room stereo reliably is to run the radio stations from my iTunes/computer, and use Airstream to select the Apple TV speakers to listen.
I do hope Apple fixes this in a future upgrade because the radio streaming is fantastic when it works, and I have found many new groups and tunes this way. Its a good way for them to increase their iTunes sales!

When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?

It's very frustrating and I don't understand why it happens. It might happen other times, but I notice it the most when I'm streaming the radio through itunes, though I think it's also happened when I'm streaming music or shows from NPR, so I don't actually know if it's an itunes thing, or an internet thing? Or just my computer being stupid? But how can I fix it?
Thanks!

My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8
It seems clear to me that sometimes, seemingly randomly, software will access the video card (flash player, quicktime, Safari's HTML5 video player, etc) and it will cause a freeze and then log out.
However - it could just be video card + processor under load.
This didnt happen before 10.5.8 and I'm thinking it's not the new 27" display causing the issue.
I'm going to attempt to find time to revert back to 10.5.0 and then combo update back up to 10.5.7 which may be difficult as our IT is remote and we don't have access to Snow Leopard discs.
I may just have to bring my own in.

How to add a radio station to the library

just loaded itunes 6 (windows box) and can't find out how to add a radio station to the library

If your current stations in WMP are .pls or .m3u URL's, they may work in iTunes also. Use the "Open Stream" command from the Advanced menu and put in the URL that includes .pls/.m3u. If the URL is a .mwv variety, those are Windows proprietary format and not supported by iTunes. Same with .ra streams (Real Audio).
.pls & .m3u usually indicate MP3 based streams supported in iTunes. It's up to the original radio station/streaming site to select the format and make it available. Shoutcast.com & Live365.com are great resources for mp3 based streams.

Remote video streaming not working with Windows Server Essentials Media Pack

I installed Server Essentials Media Pack and the video streaming via remote access does not seem to be working. I see all the video files on the server's remotewebaccess page in "Media Library" group. When I try to play the video in Chrome
the player appears for a brief moment, but then the browser starts downloading the entire file. With Internet Explorer the empty browser window opens and the download starts. I am trying it while outside of my local network. The video streaming used to work
with Server 2012 Esesentials. Am I missing some additional codecs or remote streaming is no longer supported?

Hi,
What’s the default player for these media files on your computer? The issue may be caused by the default player could not load the media file correctly. Please make sure Windows Media Player
with full codec installed is the default one. And then check if the media streaming feature could work as normal. Here is an article about how to configure the media streaming feature, hope it helps.

Categories for radio streaming are missing on latest version

Categories for radio streaming are missing on latest version.How do you access them.

Hello squeet4915
Depends on which one you are referring to. You have iTunes radio that will shuffle the songs for based on an artist or genre. Then there is Internet Radio and that will have a bunch of categories for listening to different genres.

Stream what? If you mean airplay then you can only send 1 video stream, audio cannot be separated. Music can be sent to different airplay enabled speakers (including those connected to ATV) within iTunes or by using remote app.
