Which RadioDroid version ?

[hurzl]

0.14.6

@hurzl
Deutschlandradio Kultur has three OGG streams, have you tested all three ?

• 48-128 kBit/s VBR -> works for me on HUAWEI Y201, and HUAWEI P8 LITE
• 56 kBit/s -> works for me on HUAWEI Y201, and HUAWEI P8 LITE
• 33 kBit/s -> works for me on HUAWEI P8 LITE. On HUAWEI Y201 I see "Bereite Stream vor..." and it does not play.
  ( http://www.dradio.de/streaming/dkultur_lq_ogg.m3u )

I noticed problems with OGG now and then with several devices and software, maybe a general problem for older Android versions. Sometimes, closing and restart of RadioDroid, or the smartphone helped.

Loading and buffering of the slow streams can take 2..3 minutes until audio is played! But works.

Here are the Stream Urls for all quality levels:

Ich probiere "OGG HQ". Mehr ist an Text nicht zu erkennen. Was hat die IllegalStateException oben damit zu tun?

@hurzl
I justed wanted to point out (and confirm in that way), that playing OGG sometimes works and sometimes does not work. I cannot debug the code at the moment, but on my HUAWEI Y201 and the 33 kBits/s stream (which is not playing there), when I try to stop the play action, RadioDroid crashes on that device.

it is always possible to "share" stations with other mediaplayers. for example VLC. it will play any station. for the time beeing i am using the android internal mediaplayer and it does not play all streams very good :(
maybe i will add FFMPEG at some time. but this will need much work

fixed crash in 0.19
