FStream - confusion: can't get any streams to work

Iv'e tried those links but in Australia they don't work with F Stream.
Is there ANY radio app (Wunder maybe) which will allow me to listen to BBC radio in Australia on my iphone???
The links on http://www.bbcstreams.com/ don't work for me either.
Iv'e been on lots of pages and tried many BBC radio links but none seem to work on the iphone

Do the links work directly in your web browser or a media player? If not, then I guess your location is what's stopping it working.
This subject is discussed at length on this thread but the short answer seems to be 'No'. The only way to play BBC radio streams outside the UK is with Real Player which is not available for the iPhone.
Can anyone get any of these streams to work ?

Hi,
Use the following links :-
Radio Warrington - http://208.53.138.125:8737/, format is mp3
Preston FM - http://icecast.commedia.org.uk:8000/prestonfm.mp3, format is MP3
Each link you provided opened in iTunes, the URL's and format were available from Get Info. You should be able to use this to find the details for other stations too.

I somehow got a work around for those websites, however before you proceed, I would like to warn you first that some of the stations' URL are very very long and quite painstaking to type, and to some extent still won't work and you'll hear nothing.
I use this URL Snooper to get the stream URL first. I believe you need Winpcap as the network sniffing driver.
Both are installed. After doing so, I google whatever station I want to listen to. When their page is opened and I see their "Listen Live" link, I run the URL snooper. Note that there shouldn't be any traffic going on the bandwidth, else you'll see a bunch of URLs floating there so make sure you're not using any internet-related programs first. After running URL snooper, click the Listen Live, notice at the URL snooper program you'll find quite a bunch of URLs - I always take the one with rttsp (I probably misspelled that) and usually it works 80% of the time. Hope that helps
Hi Rob
Thanks very much it worked great.
Just one point the URL I get in Itunes get info is
http://www.radiowarrington.co.uk/media/winamp-Radio_Worm.pls
I'm I looking in the correct place ? I've attached I screen dump.
The only Radio Warrington link I can get to work in Itunes is the above, did you get all the others to work.
Thanks once again

Hi Andy,
I think you are looking in the right place. I used the m3u link you provided, whereas you are using the winamp playlist link. I think they all play the same stream but give you different format options. The RAM link will not work as FStream does not support Real Media.
Rob.
No, it's just your stations I can't get working. I only have a handful of stations at the moment, mostly BBC, they all work on 3G.

Do these programs have a Mac equivalent? Or can some one help me find the appropriate link for this station?
Or I could always find a copy of XP and install that then run the programs or use Darwine!
Did you make sure to "Use the Cellular Data" option on the settings? I can use mine on 3G with some minor problems (yes.. my radio station lags because I get it from Asia
)Which station are you looking forward to listen at? I'll just use mine & pull up the link for you (hopefully)
It found six, mind you they're pretty long. Good luck typing, and please like I said the links might not work. They look like the links I saw when I URL sniffed Kube93.com, and on my case they didn't work
Hopefully one of these URLs work out for you. Good luck.BTW it was on the upper right

Oh Yes upper Right - My bad! And by Good Luck typing" you mean good luck copying and pasting since Fstream has the ability to add stations through any web browser - under the 'More" tab at the bottom - 'Web Management"
I will let you know if any work, thanks!!

Wow you are truly amazing!! Thanks you so much!! If you could point me to a tutorial on how you did this (for the future)- or maybe you could write one up real quick. I went ahead and copy and pasted each of the links in Fstream and they all worked!!! All 6 of them!!! So I was wondering if there was a way to tell what bitrate and format they are so maybe I could keep the best one
Wow.. I've seen that added feature but silly me I haven't tried it yet, I've been typing since the first version (duh silly me) thanks for the heads up!
It's good that all six worked for you, I'll try some of the stations on mine and see if it works.
I don't know any way to tell which has the best bitrate out of all 6, but for the tutorials please refer to post #34, that's all I did. You are on a Mac right? (cause unfortunately I'm on a PC)
i have a couple of stations that i can't get to work if anyone has any suggestions.
the first is sorcerer radio and from the website (srsounds.com) i followed the directions and put in this address: www.live365.com/play.sorcerer1?tag=terra
the second one is mouseworld radio: www.live365.com/play.torg0?tag=terra
both of these only work very sporadically. i have the 'cellular network' set to ON, but when i launch fstream it very seldom connects. is there anything that i can do to get the connection more consistantly?
