    Hi PA

    Once you create a Favourite in TuneIn it will auto-magically replicate to all players in TuneIn Favourites.

    You can then save that Favourite as a Preset on other Players or use FollowMe to move the stream to another Player then save it...

    Many thanks for the reply... but it does not work since my players are on different locations and on different networks

    In location#01 I have access to the webradio I mentioned : http://92.63.180.33:8000/mount.m3u

    But when I want to recreate it as a TunIn/Fav on location#02 it does not work (since 92.63.180.33:8000 is rejected)... This is why I would like to see the actual URL stored in location#01, it must be somehow different has I have been able to create and and as it works

    I made a free account on tunein.com and added that to my BluOS music services. Primary reason was reordering the stations, which was not possible in BluOS. It turned out to have the added benefit to be able to restore all TuneIn favourites, including custom URLs, after a factory reset of BluOS.

    The only thing I cannot remember is whether adding the new TuneIn account to BluOS overwrote the existing stations in BluOS..... I think it did not, but added the BluOS stations to the TuneIn account instead, but I am just not sure of that, maybe Tony can tell?

    I your case it seems worth a try, making sure you note down your list of stations first, in case they get deleted. Worst case, you have to add them all to the account once, then deploy from there to all your devices.

    Great idea... but it did not work.

    I have created a TuneIn account (and add a random radio in my favorite as a marker).
    Then I added it to my BluOS music services.

    It did synchronizes both ways.

    But my custom radio (created in BlueOS by adding the URL), though uploaded in my TuneIn account are not listenable in my browser. For an already listed radio, there is a visible url when the mouse is on it but nothing for my custom radio. And even when I click on it, nothing happens...

    The favorites must be stored somewhere locally at blueos controller level... but I cannot find out where...

    I am not able to do a lot with them from a browser either. But when I use the Android TuneIn app, I can play the custom streams, see the URI and even copy that through the sharing symbol (square with arrow).

    But instead of doing this all manually, I was rather thinking off adding this same TuneIn account to your other players on different locations, thereby syncing all stations to the other players.

    You are very helpful !!!

    Eventually it worked !

    The creation of "http://92.63.180.33:8000/mount" on the windows blusound controller is not working since the IP adress 92.63.180.33 is rejected (and "http://92.63.180.33:8000/mount" is the only url by which I can access to this radio).

    But fortunately the coding is done differently on the android app, therefore I was able to create "http://92.63.180.33:8000/mount" on the android app. It has then automatically synchronised, I found it on my PC and it is now working from my PC.

    My guess is that I have created "http://92.63.180.33:8000/mount" on my PC with a previous version of BlueSound Controller and that worked for some reason (and still works) but not with the most recent version...

    Many thanks for helping me.

     

    Best  regards

    Great to hear you got it working :-)

    TuneIn is a bit scattered in its features, reordering the sequence of favourites only seems to work on the website, other things only work in the app. But having an account is certainly a benefit, allows you to share/sync the favourites between devices. Would be nice if Bluesound / BluOS adds this to their documentation.

    Cheers
