Having trouble streaming a radio source.

  • Apology: I do not use the full capabilities of LE, but simply use it as a blind head end to play music, and listen to the radio. This worked well, but recently, the radio streaming part has stopped working for me -- probably around the time I upgraded?

    This is the radio stream I listen to: http://kpbs.streamguys1.com/kpbs-mp3.

    And this is what I see in my log:

    Code
    2020-05-06 17:00:54.190 T:1937264656   ERROR: CCurlFile::Stat - Failed: Timeout was reached(28) for http://kpbs.streamguys1.com/kpbs-mp3

    I've noticed that if I paste the URL into IE, it prompts me to ask if I want to open or save an actual .mp3 -- this seems akin to the behavior in LE.

    If I paste the URL into Edge/Chrome, the stream will fire up and send me NPR goodness!

    Running on a Pi 3B+ with LibreELEC (official): 9.2.1, kernel: Linux ARM 32-bit version 4.19.106 (Can post full log on request)

    QUESTION: is there some sort of configuration setting that allows me to change behavior, such as USER AGENT, of something, so that I can once again stream the world?

    OR: should I take this up with the guys at kodi?

    Any help would be great!

  • I found some stuff about how to override the user agent, but I've really no idea what user agents might be appropriate for whatever subsystem Pi/LE is using (I'm one of those windows types). These didn't work:

    Is there a way to 'up' the logging, such that it would show me what's happening under the covers of this conversation?
