John S did a little quick audit... 2/3 of the entries are confirmed refugees from WunderWeenies...
Anybody done a rough search through the internet and seen how many pages this WU brain cloud has killed?

There was likely even more as the index page didn't contain all of the streams, the sign up for it wasn't working for a very long time, but the streams were in the audioplayer area.  Anyway having fun keeping up, keep those sites coming. An update on my little project, it seems to be coming together for regular website and mobile version. regular website here and mobile version here.  Probably time to start a new thread.

Dummy questions....

How do you get started?  Is there a script that has to be created and put on my site?

Thanks,

I was going to jump on this bandwagon also but I see someone else is streaming the station I have. So much for that. I will just sit back and watch this thread. :)
Alternate Streams are good! power outages, blown modems, ...  Jump In

Ok... added a bunch of 'new' streams... mostly courtesy of Chris shoutcast...
...have about 4 trying to track a freq and station on...

I also Updated Many previous links to Chris'  Shoutcast server links... WxRadio: that takes a load off your 'raw' connection', and perhaps improves the quality in some cases.

http://noaaweatherradio.org

I think this collaboration with Chris from CrushedBoxSoftware is going to work well..., and we owe him a big thanks.

Couple of notes on noaaweatherradio.org.  Haven't had a chance to update the little info blurbs.. bout time for "Gold Rush" anyway...
PWS SITE Links are indicated by

1. NO links are provided for feeds which are generated by source that isn't either a 'weather oriented site' or otherwise 'commercial'
2. Non weather sites, or courtesy feeds from 'friends' are listed as 'courtesy' with no link
3. Stream Thumbnails: (so far)
Streams from wxRadio.dyndns (Chris)
 

Streams direct from source PWS or other sources
 

Mike

I been testing my icecast server and my internet connection just to see if its worth it. I want to make sure that I have a good connection and a worthwhile signal before I even post a link. But the testing is looking good.

Hey Joe!
You need the weather radio, connected to computer audio, Pi, or some device to install some encoder that provides an MP3 Stream, and we need access to that stream... I've Broadwave, there is BUTT, there's the old defunct Edcast... set up your own Icecast, and other thingies... Lots of folks are 'pointing' their encoder stream to the 'donated' Icecast server: http://wxradio.dyndns.org:8000/ furnished by CHRIS at 'Crushed Box Software", with which we have a free non-financial, no advertising 'partnership'... all he gets out of it is the access to the stream for his inexpensive phone apps.
See how to:  http://noaaweatherradio.org/howto.html
which is by no means extensive, but more details will be added as we can... the 4 of us are right busy...

FOX set the thing at 16kbs, shoot us the access, and you won't even notice its running on network.  I'm running at 128kb test stream to WxRadio, then to the page, and it bother's noting noticeable... see the very last 'station' on the player....

Getting enough streams going now, that that player's 'search' feature sure is handy!

Also check these experimental 'things'... and give us some feedback...
Test Map on this test does not select stream:
http://noaaweatherradio.org/index_huh.html
Test WWA page updates about 1 minute (seeks at 20 seconds) and plays streams...
http://noaaweatherradio.org/ProbWWA-1.php

Also the Prob pages currently onboard..

Ain't this a hoot?

Mike

Quickie hardware thought:

Mono to stereo adapter 3 fir $4.30
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002EOHX0/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Stereo 1/8" cable  3 fir $8.99
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018VVTMGW/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
MidlandWR 300 $42.95
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00009V2YV/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Haven't tried BUTT
https://danielnoethen.de/
others, search Broadwave, EdCast Clones (which might even work for you)...
And a buncha folks rigging up PI systems... check thru the thread

I've got hold of an elaborate, free (overkill) broadcaster I'm playing with... excellent, with
some filters, equalization, visualization, much, much, more than we need for this...
but free, and dang cool and stable!
Ain't gonna reference it yet, but it is a Cadillac.. and free...and purty...

It's hard to trace the pedigree of oddcast->edcast->altacast but Altacast seems to be the latest incarnation

http://www.altacast.com/index.php/downloads/

I've not tried it as my old edcast is working just fine on Win10 :)

I'm in the process of adding more info to "how to" page, including some links to the more prominently used software...
Got any to nominate besides AltaCast, Edcast, Broadwave, Icecast, ?
Not necessarily utilizing 'webcam' streamers which can also do audio at this point, later maybe as we grow.. too easy to lose my focus, and need to keep it sorta basic right now. Too many things goin'.

Also if Mike and all will give me a quick link(s) and data about the PI hook-ups I'll try to add them, also.

Hi Folks,

Have been doing some more auditing on the WU spreadsheet to see where we stand.

Out of 128 feeds, we have 43 on our project, with a possible 2 more we can add. I consider this an excellent start. Hopefully we can add more.

That leaves 83 feeds that are now DOA. Of those, 48 did not have a website listed, or no longer exist. The remaining 35 have websites, but with links to feeds still pointing to WU.

The 2 feeds I came across are:

NV   Fernley      WWG20   162.450   /Glendale2x/fernley.mp3   http://www.rollernet.us/wxradio
NV   Reno              WXK58   162.550   /Glendale2x/reno.mp3           http://www.rollernet.us/wxradio

I have added these to my radio page.

Save the .pls file and open it in notepad or another text editor... that should be the direct link/URL to use.

Pro tip: Icecast can also serve up a playlist (.m3u format) file too, just by adding .m3u to the end of the mount point URL. i.e. http://stream.mikev.com/khb36.mp3.m3u

I think you have mine listed twice, the Minneapolis ones.  The first is the one I gave you, the other one is from Broadcastify I think?  If that's where the other one is from, they are both coming from me.  That's fine, just letting you know.
