Bob,

Thanks for your work. I have you work up on my site SandPointWeather.com. I have a suggestion/request, I would prefer both characters in the state be in uppercase, what do others think?

Also, in the paragraph under the audio player and NOAA All Hazards logo, a possible typo...

...website owners and others though NOAAWEATHERRADIO.org, ...
Should though be through.

Thanks again.

Next, I would like to add John's Map.

Dennis

Edit:  This should run fine in the narrow Saratoga with a width change. Shouldn't be a big deal(I Would think).

John
I've edited Bob's scripts to run in a Saratoga narrow template.  You can set the width using '$divWidth' in the main script's settings.  I have it set to 656.

You can get the main script here, select script here, and the includes script here.  I've also modified the includes script to state that I'm not contributing a feed, so you might want to change that.  Just search case sensitive for 'This website' to locate the text to modify.  I haven't placed this script in my menu because I'm waiting to receive suitable radio in order to also contribute a local feed.

Sweet!  Mine is up.

http://www.bismarckweather.net/wxnoaaradio.php

Now we just need to figure out how were going to handle the updates to those two include PHP files to show an accurate list of stations.  I know my station stream, so I could add it manually.  But I don't know the other station stream in my state.  So I couldn't add it.

Thanks folks, I can make the state abbreviations all caps, if that is the consensus. Just have to go back and change the file.  Tried to get all the changes to make it saratoga narrow compatible, if I missed any let me know, I will update accordingly.  Also have one on my mobile site, but it uses a slightly modified cell-top.php.  I haven't got this one on ?sce=view yet but if anyone is interested and giving it a swing let me know via pm.

For updates, since I will leave those as ?sce=view you should be able to just download when you have the time, I will update them with the new info as soon as get to the file when  have a new set.  Just means you may be behind by a couple of days until you do the update.  Any ideas besides having the program reach out for those files remotely?

  The other stream from you state is in the current include and select update, and so is yours no need to add it manually, unless you are talking about another stream.

My preference would be all caps for the states. But you might want to consider adding that as an option to be selected in the script.

I got a Midland WR300 radio a couple of days ago. But I can only get reception in one room or if I go outside.
I have ordered an external antenna to see if that helps.

These are the errors that come back on validate.  Seems you cut off a header.  Also you dropped off a < in front of a <?php which is printing out as a ?php.  Probably at the top of one of the files.  It is the include file which has the missing <  It was supposed to be the very first character in the file, you probably dropped it on a cut and paste.

You left the wx off of the file name thus the 404

Hope this helps. 

Oh and you will want to move the select=select in the select file to your site from the Ne station in your copy of the select file.

Bob,
Correcting both of those errors appeared to have corrected it.

Hi Folks,

Got my map updated. Unless I have duplicated someone, I have 80 feeds, including the alternate feeds.

John
Crap!  If you've got 80, I must have accidentally deleted someone again... phooey...gotta recheck my main... only got 78 counting the 2 or 3 alternates...
sigh... now off to comparing lists again... rats.

sigh... now off to comparing lists again... rats.
oK... FOUND the discrepancies...
briefly:
1. Tim asked me to hold off on his WXJ57 South Bend stream access ... waiting for him to update. So it's currently inactive, and not listed on NWRORG
2. Steve sending alternate Green Bay feed on a server I was having trouble accessing, removed for now.. that's the Green Bay KIG65 alternate from de Pere you have listed in your config... I'll go back and recheck that feed...

Always good to have alternates, folks... No Problem sticking an "extra" access connection or multiple stream sources...
Only drawback might be that it really loads John's map marker display, if he enters 'em all... at somepoint he may have to begin 'clustering' locations.. especially in upper Midwest! 

Mike


So at the moment, 78 active. but I think that's about to go up one or two...

I have a question regarding connections to my streaming server.

Currently I'm running Broadwave Audio Streaming - Free Edition. It's my understanding this is limited to 2 concurrent connections. If noaaweatherradio.org is connected to my Broadwave server and 3 people access my stream via noaaweatherradio.org, are these 3 users now trying to connect to me, or is noaaweatherradio.org simply rebroadcasting to each user so that only 1 connection is actually made to Broadwave on my system?

Just wondering if I need to upgrade my Broadwave in order to provide more than 2 connections.

Thanks,

Steve

Ideally what you should do is reconfigure Broadwave to "upload" its stream to the Crushed Box software site.  Then everyone that is listening will be streaming it off their server, and not yours.

That way you don't need to buy a full license.  And it won't eat any more bandwidth from your home network than the single stream that is uploading.

I've not been able to determine how Broadwave can point to an Icecast.. it's designed as 'standalone'..accessed directly...it's its own server.. and works quite well in that mode.. maybe I'm missing something....


Steve, try the free M3W or butt encoders from the HowTo page http://noaaweatherradio.org/howto.html and point  to wxradio.dyndns.org
we'll pick up your feed and get it on the pages. The website actually will make as many connections as folks click.  Any connections other than 2, in your case, will probably result in 'no response', I don't know how that would work.  I've broadwave Pro, which has a higher limit, on my main feed, and have never noticed an issue, or had one reported to me..

I've made some additions, modifications on the howto page, Mostly in the Quality section...including external antenna suggestions.

In adding and testing stations, testing encoders, etc, I've discovered some things, learned some things, and revised some of my opinions an assumptions... resulting especially from some close work with some  newer streaming folks..

Notably:  There is a wide range of "volume" levels across the many stations,... might check my suggestions, and look at your settings...
stations with a lot of noise on reception might consider actually raising their bitrate to 32 or greater.  For sure, please try to send both channels, and peak volumes at -12 to -6 on average with your level indicators.... (your ears will fool you.. use the indicators)

Edcast is simply not producing, overall, consistent quality across the board, as some of the other encoders. Try the M3W, or butt... right now I think the M3W may have the edge... based on my local testing...that could change... but I definitely feel that edcast/oddsock users might consider changing encoders... .

I'll give M3W a shot. By the way, the link to M3W on the HowTo page is broken. It should be http://noaaweatherradio.org/Encoders/M3W/M3W.zip not m3w.zip.

With 81 streams you may want to update if it has been awhile (3 days), the latest version of the current script  you can see it in action here:http://cliftonvaweather.com/wxnoaaradio.php.  As a reminder the code has 3 files, the main script, a select script and an include script.  I have them available via ?sce=view.  Please note that the select and include files are constantly updating as we add stations, or if stations change their url, so you may need to download updates of those from time to time to keep up.

The main file can be downloaded here , the select file can be downloaded here and the include file which really does all the work can be downloaded here .  To have the code start on your area weather station change the default callsign on the main page and move the selected=selected on the select page to the station that is your area from the one Sterling site here in northern Va.

Quite a few tweaks as a result of suggestions from gwwilk  The current version as of this moment.... is 170313C
