Internet Radio Block

[KingKoz]

I was searching for a block that would give me a block that had a configurable list of stations and one that wasn't page dependent. Meaning I wanted to select a station to listen to and continue to surf while listening. I tried many of the existing blocks but none seemed to work with mp3s and my shoutcast station. So, I took one that was close to what I wanted and tweaked it til it worked for me. Here is what I came up with. It works with .pls, .rm and .aspx streams. It may work with others, I only tried those 3.

Enjoy

In your TP Block manager, just create a SCRIPTBLOCK and paste this code.

[rider]

Just tried it seems to work well.Thanks
One ? how do you add more channels?

[KingKoz]

If you scroll down in the code the the section where the <FORM> elements are you will see a notation I made in the code showing where/how to chage the stations to the ones you want. One other note; you will notice there are <OPTION> lines that do nothing but act as header info for the station list. Those should be changed or deleted to suite your needs. You will need to know the URLs for the stations you want to listen to.

Demo?

nice idea.. only problem is it requires one of two players i dont use :/

[misjka]

Ah, I think this rocks    :up:

But, only two default radio stations worked: KozRadio and BBC 2 (which actually was Radio 3, not Radio 2)...
And the Station Homepage didn't work either - nothing happens when clicking on it...

Never the less, I made a simple translation of the script into Swedish (below) .

Mmmm, would be great to also have some info about what is being played on the station one chooses... Just like the KozRadio block on your own forum, but a dynamic one that changes depending on what station the user chooses...

EDIT: I have now added quite a few radio statíons of interest - especially for Swedish users - in the code above...
