WX5FWD Audio Stream Usage FAQ


StatusFAQVersion


  • I don't hear anything.
    There may be periods of inactivity, when no transmissions are occuring. You may want to refer to the stream web site, shown in the stream description list on theHomepage, for schedules, status and other information.
  • FireFox does not open the stream in a media player or saves stream to file before or instead of opening the media player.
    Try using the playlist links instead of the direct stream URL, or start your media player and open the stream URL from there. Also refer to thisFireFox knowledge base page.
  • Microsoft IE or Windows Media Player does not play the OGG Vorbis stream.
    Try the MP3 stream format, or add the required CODEC to Windows Media Player fromVorbis.com. Or, you may want to try another media player, such as WinAmp,VLC,JetAudio or others.
  • Apple iTunes only plays the first entry in playlists links.
    The m3u or playlist support in iTunes is limited. iTunes may play the list entries out of order, or just plays the first entry. The solution may be to download the m3u file to your desktop, and drag it into a newly created empty playlist in iTunes. Another solution may be to installM3U2iTunes,a program which improves iTunes support for m3u files.
