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!

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?
Regards

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?

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).

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?

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?

HT1143 Radio streaming to apple TV

How do you set up radio streaming?

Hi Alley Cat
Thanks for replying
Specifically I am streaming content from Itunes (The plan was to replace my dvd player with my imac dvd function streaming to the apple TV)
It is accessed under Computers menu in aTV.
Folowing your other reply's comments:
I agree ATV should buffer before playing to avoid uninteruppted playback. However, mine is buffereing only enough to playback 10-20 minutes at a time and then rebuffering.
This obviously works for the kids cartons but is no good for a 2 hour film
I think this could be down to my wifi droppnig out. I have an AirPort Extreme Base Station mated to a normal sky router/wifi box.
Every so often my mac loses sight of the airport and airport needs rebooting. If this is the failure, would that affect ATV?
Any thoughts??
cheers
Andy

Stream from atv to antother tv

Im using my atv in the livingroom where the main tv is. But I sometimes want to stream the atv content to my bedroom tv. Is there a device that can make this possble. That doesnt cost more that a new atv in it self.

No as that is not how the ATV is designed. However there are other products that can send stuff from your computer to your TV, but will have nothing to do with the ATV.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Listening to 3rd party radio stream (via Tuner) gets interrupted by ipod

I was listening to an internet radio stream at the gym tonight when all of a sudden the phone just switches over and starts playing a song from my music library. The display on the phone still showed the Tuner app' in the foreground but with the audio from the ipod app' playing.
I switched to the ipod made sure it was paused and then tried to play Tuner radio again only to have the ipod cut back in a few minutes later. This kept happening until I left the gym.
I understan that if the internet stream drops out then the music will stop, but why is the ipod "kicking in"?

Thanks for responding!
No, I don't jump the gun and advance to the next song/podcast, it just plays through to the end and then the next song starts.
I don't think the JBL On Stage works the same way Ford's Sync does. I should have been more specific in how the car's built in iPod interface works. You cannot control the iPhone's iPod features from the iPhone screen when plugged in. The screen displays a message that it's in slave mode or some such thing and all control comes from the car's controls.
Things like the On Stage you still have control over the device while docked, so it may be reacting differently.
I looked at Circuit City for any kind of device that was more than just a dock/external speakers, but no luck there. Surprised that place is still in business, poor selection, no customers...

Lost "American" iTunes radio stream folder

I somehow erased or deleated the "American" radio stream file from my iTunes. I would like to get it back. I miss some of the stations or streams and can't find them in any of the other folder.
How can I get that folder/stream reinstalled without the risk of losing or damaging all my any other iTune library? How did I lose it (delete it) in the first place?
Dual 2Ghz G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9) iTunes 7.1.1 (5)

If you're referring to a genre or station in the Tuner section of iTunes, you didn't "lose" it, per se. Those listings come from a server somewhere (only Apple knows where), and from time to time listings are altered, added or removed and there's no way for a user to put them back. If the station is still netcasting, you should be able to do a web search for them, find their stream, and either add it back to iTunes (it'll just appear in the library and you can drag it to a playlist for easy access), or use whatever player the station now supports (some stations get removed from the iTunes Tuner because they no longer cast in an iTunes-compatible format, as is the case with Air America, if that's who you mean).

Radio streaming via a router?

Since my uncle added a router between his Tower PPC Single 1.8 and his Dell, he can no longer receive any radio streaming. Considering he is an avid international radio listener, to say that he is peeved is an understatement.
Disconnecting the router from the entire system restores radio streaming 100%. So my question is: once a router is connected, do one or several ports need to be opened somewhere to allow radio streaming?
* Guy

Virtual PC
Thanks for the info, it'll allow me to open the appropriate ports *IF* I can figure out a few questions.
But first, here's more on the situation:
-I thought my uncle streamed his radio servers from an Airport Base station to his AEX. Wrong. He doesn't own a Basestation. He turned his PPC into an Airport Transmitter and that was enough.
- Here's a list of things that don't work since the router has been installed:
* His USB Logitech microphone will not transmit on either iChat (3.0) or Skype. The 'potentiometer' visibly works in the Sound System Pref, but the mike will not operate out of his computer. However, reception from others is OK in both Skype and iChat.
* Radio streaming via iTunes.
* Real Player radio. (Unable to connect to the server)
- His new router is a DI-604 by D-Link. In this link (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93333), the router is an 'acceptable' router from Apple's point of view. Now I need to know: does this router have its own firewall on by default? My uncle's PPC firewall is off and he wants to keep it that way. I don't know much about the D-Link, he threw the box and instalation manual in the garbage already. Not only is he technophobic, he also considers manuals are for wusses...
- If I need to access the ports on the D-link, how do I do it: via the host server? Terminal? Some funky app?
- By tomorrow morning, I'm sure I'll have more questions to ask, but hopefully someone will have answers to the above.
