@NVC1019

Not that I'm aware of, no, but there are radio docks for these satellite providers and some streaming apps for smartphones, etc.

Best,

@kentoldhoj so most probably works fine.

I may gave you a link and then we could try, what do u think? I will set up a link and see if it works...before of buying it :) I want to make sure.

@gargara The SB more or less acts like an oldfashioned terminal. Everything happens on the server (interface, decoding, etc.). This is an awsome feature, because it makes the SB expandaple. New audio formats, interfaces or features? No problem, just update the serversoftware. There are litteraly 1000s of addons for SB, that do everything from weather and stockmarket to small games and online services. Just make your own flavored SB! ;-)

@gargara i'm also thinking if the SB connects to a radio then it is mp3 and they for sure have 2 options (direct stream, m3u list) and if it is like that we coud theoretically pass this pre-generated list. Can you try that?

[gargara]

@kentoldhoj well I thought maybe they created something cool like the iomega that I have include the basic webserver to watch the pictures.

i was wondering what kind of file / service the SB needs to understand what it is reading so maybe by IP:port/ and a pre-generated file it could work.

Tell me more :D
