NOT A BUG : Pionneer hifi can't stream a radio

[fab-kaz]

Hello,

First, thank you for great work !

Ytuner works like a charm here (i had to deal with a already installed dnsmasq though).
Most of the mp3 streams works ok from my pionneer hifi except this one: https://stream.radios.bzh/listen/rkb/radio.mp3
However, i can easily access the mp3 stream with a browser.

Do you think Ytuner 2.0 will solve this problem or should i think about transcoding the stream on my server then deliver it the pionner hifi ?

Thank you and regards,

Fabrice.

Hi Fabrice,

Most of the mp3 streams works ok from my pionneer hifi except this one: https://stream.radios.bzh/listen/rkb/radio.mp3
However, i can easily access the mp3 stream with a browser.

Unfortunately, most of our devices do not support TLS/SSL (https). This radio station uses it and even if we want to force the http protocol it will be redirected with HTTP301 anyway :

Do you think Ytuner 2.0 will solve this problem ...

No, not in this case. YTuner v2.0 can auto resolve URL links (look at this thread #36 (reply in thread) and info about MANGORADIO) but this won't help with your link https://stream.radios.bzh/listen/rkb/radio.mp3 because it requires TLS/SSL support. YTuner does not in any way mediate the audio stream between the AVR and radio stations.

i think about transcoding the stream on my server then deliver it the pionner hifi ?

It seems that the transcoding process is not necessary. In this case it would be required to build a proxy service that would terminate TLS/SSL traffic and intermediate communication between the AVR and the radio station.

Hey,

thank you for your quick answer !
I wonder: in a future version, maybe Ytuner webserver could proxy this http stream to the avr ?

Unfortunately my answer wasn't quick. I've been very busy for the last few weeks and I don't have time to work on YTuner and finally prepare version v2.0.0 even though most of it is already done and I'm testing it in my free time.

I'll think about it... 🤔 It's all about free time, which I always lack. 😞

Hey, i'm back.

i've done what you told me: a proxy to distribute http when https is asked. And it works like a charm :)

Here it is:

`cat /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/radios.conf
server {
listen 84;

# Radio RKB
location /rkb.mp3 {
    proxy_pass https://stream.radios.bzh/listen/rkb/radio.mp3;
    proxy_set_header Host stream.radios.bzh;
}

}
And in the stations.ini, i have simply:RKB-Radio-Kreiz-Breizh=http://192.168.1.108:84/rkb.mp3`

Thanx you for all !
