Looks good Mike, I think the test appears to be successful  .  Tried all of the selections and got pretty much an immediate response.  Also a good start on getting stations.  Only thing could you add a va between clifton and weather on the website name

Thanks

My Bad... fixed.  You have the honor of being the first error reported (if this develops). 
For that, you receive a Gold Star:

... So what's next? 

Let's decide... I always felt that it'd be good to have some page up with the feeds that sites could link to, and a couple of us to sorta, kinda, monitor with a bit of quality control... etc.  and there's cleaning up to do on the scripts... lot of extra stuff in it that I'm not using.
This isn't the script I wanted to use, but I couldn't get my #1 choice to reliably respond to various stream (great for files, lousy for stream)... right now I'm trying to figure out how to code each website as a link, with current scripting, up in the title bar, so I need some help with javascripting... I think that should be fairly simple, but don't know enough.

Anybody else want on board, email me site link, and your streaming link to your local encoder.
I've played with several 'streaming' applications, and overall Broadwave seems to be more consistent and better quality. Some are pretty lousy and over complicated.

Looks good Mike. Sorry I cant help with the coding but thanks for the effort.

Thanks Mike

For that, you receive a Gold Star:

I can place it on my mantel next to the one from WU .  Have put a link to the page on my noaa radio pages, similar to what used to be there for the WU stream page.  Hope sites jump on board, we need a name for the net.

I see they finally put a note the radio page is broken.

Good for them... meanwhile our prototype test ain't broken. And another PWS owner and a scripter weather-lover have informed me they're working on a couple of features to add... stay tuned... http://ourspecial.net/NOAANET2/  this will truly be a community project when it's done!  Great!

Not sure how much they're really working on it... audiostream.wunderground.com and audioplayer.wunderground.com don't resolve through DNS anymore. I'm pretty sure it's dead. Of course, they might just have done that to keep people from trying to connect while they're working on the server(s).

As to how I stream... I set up a $5/mo VPS with a low cost (but pretty good quality) hosting provider and installed Icecast on it. I set up a firewall on it so only SSH and Icecast can get in (just because Linux has a tendency to have other ports open, even if there's nothing listening on them)... oh, and since it's the only thing on it, Icecast is running on port 80 so corporate firewalls aren't an issue too. It's even dual-stack, for those of you with IPv6.

I'm trying to get control of the TuneIn listing for my NWR stream, so the over 8,000 people that have saved it as a favorite still have something to listen to. Not sure how successful I'll be in that endeavor though.

I notice that on their weather radio page it now says this at the top of their page...

"We know this feature is broken... and we're working on it. Hang tight!"

[satcop]

Well don't hold your breath, I just got the following email from "William":

We have an official announcement on the 1st, but I can confirm that we're ending the radio feature.


Thank you,

So folks if you supplied the feeds to WU, please check out the page the Mike (Cutty) is working on.

Very nice, Cutty! Looks great, works great (thank you for not using Flash plugin!) and I got a kick out of the song!
