Why can't I stream Radio Stations????
- I am really new at this Storm stuff. But I'm getting the hang of it. When I go to radio-locator.com and select the radio station I want to stream, the music player on my Storm comes up, but doesn't do anything... just says loading...
Here's the link - httpwack-wack)wmc1.liquidviewer(dot)net/kstpam
Moodio.fm does the same thing. Sends me to the music player and sits.
I've tried Slacker's radio program but can't find radio stations.
I did find a program - nobex that streams radio stations, which works, just doesn't have the station I'm looking for.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

- Not necessarily since it deals with the browser/media player not being able to stream audio. I have the same problem, I had it working for a bit then it started doing exactly what the OP describes. I'm in the UK so can't use slacker.02-16-09 05:12 AMLike 0
- When I use m.moodio.fm, the video player has to be set to either full screen or not full screen, I forget which one. So togle that setting and see if it fixes the issue.
Edit: it looks like the video player has to be set to full screen for moodio to stream. Weird but true.

Once you have done this, then go to m.moodio.fm via your BB browser, log in and then select the station you want to listen. Once you select the station, it will then load in the media player and you should be good to go.
Hope this helps02-16-09 10:39 PMLike 0 -
My only problem with moodio is that I stream the radio but still want to browse the web, which is not possible because the media player acts as a browser for moodio (it's not an app). Flycast is no good because it doesn't have the station I am looking for (92.3 KROCK in NYC).
Anyone have any other potential solutions?02-17-09 08:14 AMLike 0 - Thanks for hijacking my post. I realize I'm new here, but I posted my question looking for an answer to my question. Instead, I get a Mod who moves my post to this section when my question has nothing to do with 3rd party apps. Then, once here, my post get hijacked off on some tangent about Moodio.
I don't think I've ever had this happen in another BB system like it happened here.
Thanks.02-18-09 03:14 AMLike 0 - I have the same issue. If it helps I tried BerryTunes with the same result. I do get this station w/Moodio. I have no way to verify but since as I understand it Moodio repackages the stream, perhaps its the stream itself that's the issue. I do think the BB can play some WMA streams. Anyone have a fix or explanation? I'm curious if this station works on a WM phone or iPhone.02-18-09 09:19 AMLike 0

Moodio came up because its the most reliable way to stream a radio station to your Storm. Another option is to use Flycast and hope that one of the radio stations you're looking for is listed there.
Some helpful information you might include next time:
OS Version currently running?
Battery Pull before/after attempts at streaming?
Does streaming work from other programs/websites for you?02-18-09 11:56 AMLike 0 - Check if you have sufficient memory. If you have many applications installed or running in background, it will eat-up all the memory and moodio wont run.
Check free memory as follows
Options -> Status -> File Free. if you have 6-10MB free, you should be able to play without any problem. Also check if your BB OS is at least 4.5

Vodafone are having current problems with steaming on the Storm through there network. Last I heard, they're working on a solution but not ETA for this fix...
Hope this helps mate

With Moodio you can easily add a station if you know the URL for the stream. The problem is it is often difficult to get that URL because it's hidden inside of a media player that opens.02-22-09 07:42 AMLike 0 - Does Nobex allow you to listen with a mono bluetooth headset? I like listening to talk radio but the Blackberry media player programmers think that you would only listen with stereo headsets. Why do they control this so much. Let us decide how we want to listen to streaming radio.02-22-09 09:22 AMLike 0
