STV Import: Web Radio Plugin for SageMC v1.1b 7/31/06

[Morgan111]

This STV import takes the incredible WebRadio import created by koelec and provides a STV import that is customized for the SageMC base STV. The download here contains koelec's download zip with all of the support files but with the original webradio_import_1_1.stvi replaced by webradio_sagemc_import_1_1b.xml.

See koelecs main Web Radio page for additional details and information:
STV Import: Simple Web Radio

No Longer Supported
Please note that this import is no longer supported, as the SlimPlayer import has additional features and is capable of playing the steams of this player. This plugin will have formatting issues when imported under SageMC 6.3.5 or above.

Installation

• download zip file from this page Simple WebRadio for SageMC
• extract the zip file in the root folder of your sageTV installation
• import the webradio_sagemc_import_1_1b.xml in the detailed setup screen to install the plugin
• Map a remote or keyboard command to Custom2 and/or add the WebRadio to a menu with Studio or instructions farther down.
  When you access the Web Radio menu screen for the first time the plugin will create an initial stationlist.txt file with some example stations if it can not find a stationlist.txt file in the root folder of the SageTV installation forder, ie normally SageTV/SageTV.

• Prevent "display_video_on_menus" setting from inadvertantly getting set to Never in different situations. This affects the display of the video preview window on the guide and menus.

Adding to Menu

To add it to the SageMC MyMenu page without using studio, here are some easy instructions I modified from flachbar on adding it to My Menu.

- enable My Menu in the main menu options menu (ESC on keyboard)
- go to My Menu
- you'll get an error screen, but just ignore it
- bring up the options menu
- Add new menu item
- Internal screen
- scroll down to "WebRadio by koelec"' and select it
- enter a name for the menu
- bring up options menu again, select 'save menu def file'
- bring up options menu again, select 're-read menu def file'
- now you should have a menu item which will open up the Movie Times screen

... or you can use the new menu modification configuration in the new SageMC Addon under
Settings->DetailedSetup->Advanced->SageMC 16x9 Options->Menus and specify "WebRadio by koelec"as a menu screen
