  • Hi there!
    • http://www.desotowiwx.com
I have checked all my settings and I can't see what is wrong but for some strange reason my weather radio is not being listed at http://www.wunderground.com/wxradio/index.html

But the weather radio is streaming at http://audioplayer.wunderground.com:80/tonspa/desoto.mp3

did the Weather underground change a setting I did not know of?
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

Do the entries for "Stream Name" and "Stream Description" (see example below) on your WU weather radio sign-up page match EXACTLY (case-sensitive, and no trailing spaces) as you have them in Oddcast/Edcast?  (I think the WU automated process does a string comparison to check for matches.)



Also, on a different note, you may want to add a direct link to your stream on your web site, in addition to using the WU flash player, in case this issue occurs again.  That would also allow your visitors to use their default media player if they prefer.

yes I have looked at that. I have looked at the setup of weather underground weather radio a lot of times. still cant get it to go online.
You are right about the string comparison thing.

What is the deal with all the urls ending there mp3's with mp3.m3u??? mine still ends in mp3....might be why it is not showing up....??

No, unless you just changed it, it's showing up on the audiostream listing as ".mp3.m3u" as it should.  In Oddcast the mountpoint should end with .mp3.  The m3u is added by WU. 

I can hear the stream and it sounds like it is being encoded correctly... no buffering issues.

If you're still having issues tomorrow night, I could take a look at your configuration files and look for differences between our setups.

I just tired to reinstall it on a new computer and now it will not even try to log into the weather underground stream...no clue how I broke it but I did a good job on it.

I think WU is having issues at the moment.  I haven't been able to access their audiostream page this evening.
