Re: Internet Radio Streaming Audio ??
That is because the links you provide go to playlists, which mpd doesn't support (or at least not well). You have to add a single stream directly. In the case of the MPR link, the playlist contains a single item: http://classicalstream1.publicradio.org:80/ which is something mpc/mpd accepts (At leas...

Re: Internet Radio Streaming Audio ??
That NPR address you provide is a flash-based player. It will never work with mpd. That's like trying to, say, play a tape in a CD player. If you want to listen to NPR on your wifi radio, try these streams:

Re: MPD could not find any local wma files
I see wma in his list of protocols... Ah, there's a scrollbar .... I thought that on the local machine, "mpc add <file>" would add the file to the DB? That's not what my mpc does. I get an "error: ACK [50@0] {add} directory or file not found" message when I try that. Maybe a bui...

Re: No internet connection
Neither. I simply installed the Backfire release of OpenWrt and configured the whole thing myself. But I do use it in the same way as a music player which plays music from the local network or from an internet stream.

Re: No internet connection
Your /etc/config/wireless looks ok, although you could try wrapping your SSID in single quotes. Here's my complete /etc/config/network, which helped someone else on this forum before: config 'switch' 'eth0' config 'interface' 'loopback' option 'ifname' 'lo' option 'proto' 'static' option 'ipaddr' '1...

Re: No internet connection
Whoops, sorry, I jumped to conclusions :) Looking further, you place the wl0 device in the "wlan" network, but there is no definition for "wlan" in /etc/config/network. You need to add something about wlan there, such as (in my case): config 'interface' 'wlan' option 'proto' 'dhc...

Re: MPD could not find any local wma files
"mpc add" can only add files that are already in the mpd database. You cannot just add any file on your local HD. Make sure the wma file is actually in your DB by using "mpc listall". As an aside, I believe mpd only adds tracks to the library it can decode. From your "mpd --...

Re: No internet connection
In the wifi config file, you need to change the "MySSID" and "MyKey" (and maybe the "encryption") settings to match your local network setup.

Re: alternatives to the WL-520gU
Nope, it's on my todo list :) Another option, albeit somewhat less compact, is to use a fanless mITX board. You should be able to find an older model EPIA board for not too much money (Although someone over on ebay seems to think they can ask $189 for one!). My EPIA 5000 currently serves as Asterisk...

Re: WMA streaming on WL-520GU
I don't know if this is an option for you or not, but if you have a NAS or home server or something that IS powerful enough to play the BBC streams, you could set up mpd on that device to re-encode the streams to something the 520 can handle, and let your internet radio connect to your local server....
