Connecting To Radio?
« on: September 17, 2011, 12:32:44 PM »
I have a few questions.   8) When I click on "Radio" in the menu list I get the drop down with all the station Genres. But when I click on ANY of the stations I get a "Unable To Connect To Radio Server" message every time. How can I play radio on Winyl? And I also have no idea how to connect to Last.FM I get a connect to last.FM client feature?
And how do I open the Smart list dialog And Settings list dialog boxes? I found the main menu drop down window, bt not the others?  :(  Thanks. :) John

Sometimes, some radio stations may be unavailable. If all station unavailable always, perhaps you're using internet through proxy and you need to set proxy in settings dialog. Also possible your firewall is blocking internet access for Winyl, in this case, you need to change your firewall settings.

For open settings dialog: main menu->"Settings"->"Advanced..."
For open smartlist dialog: right click on "Smartlists" and then "New Smartlist...".
For edit smartlist: right click on smartlist and then "Edit...".

Im not trying to be stupid, but Ive clicked on everything in/on the player. I go to advanced settings but the word "smartlist" is NOWHERE to be found anywhere.

And I am not using a proxy. I cannot connect to ANY of the radio stations or Last FM  :( My firewall isnt blocking it either. I use Live365, Winamp, Spotify, Windows radio, Itunes radio and have no problems. Winyl will not let me play/connect to radio.  :(

Radio
Try to add direct link to radio to any playlist (Main menu->Add To Playlist->Radio/URL) http://www.181.fm/winamp.pls?station=181-90salt&style=&description=90's%20Alternative
and write result.

LastFM
For working LastFM scrobbling, option "Scrobble tracks with LastFM client" in settings, must be enabled and LastFM client must be running when Winyl running.

Smarlists
See attached screenshot.
