I build the awesome Radioglobe and I am just astonished! But there are some troubles. If you roam around the globe, then you will find plenty of stations where no sound is coming out. Maybe the stream URL changed? Not sure?

Is there a way to update the station List by our self. I found a Website called "http://radio.garden/" which uses the same approach just digital.

Maybe there is a way to use their datasource?

I have recently built a RadioGlobe and have also found many silent stations. The stations are stored on the "stations.json" file in a text format which can be "pretty" easily modified. I have already made a few hundred changes to my stations file, and I also used the RadioGarden website to copy the station web addresses. I am a NOOB here, and I hope there is an easier way of doing this...but here's my process:

  1. Login to RadioGarden (I'm using a iMac).
  2. Find the station you wish to add to your RadioGlobe
  3. On MAC OS- Click on the "view" tab, and "Inspect". This will pop up another area of the window which shows you all sorts of info about the website you are viewing. Click on the "Network" tab. You will see the websites the RadioGarden play buttons all link to.

3a. In Microsoft Edge browser (or many others), find the Developer Tools. Then click the "Network" tab. You will see the websites the RadioGarden play buttons all link to.

  1. Open a copy of the RadioGlobe stations.json file on your computer. Search for the city in which you want to add the "new" station to. Copy/paste the lines from an existing station name/URL to make a NEW line, then you can modify the NEW line with the info from the station you wish to add (from RadioGarden).

  2. You can add new cities as well, as long as you follow the same exact format as the other cities use. It helps just to copy/paste a city & stations and then modify it.

  3. If you make a mistake, the RadioGlobe WON'T START! A simple comma forgotten, or added will prevent the entire program from running. Check carefully that you've typed it all exactly as the existing info reads.

  4. I use FileZilla to transfer files between the computer and the RadioGlobe. Stop the RadioGlobe service, then drag/drop the new JSON file, then re-start the RadioGlobe service.

Done!

There are also online JSON file editors which may make this a bit easier, but I've found it's easier for me to just work in a text editor with some copy/paste magic.

I HOPE there is an automated way of doing this! Perhaps someone can help out here!
