Custom Radio stations

Procedure for manually adding internet radio stations 

There are two methods to manually add internet radio stations, you can use the EC Play app or use the Web interface. The latter is in most cases the easiest, as it’s easier to copy and paste using a computer. Search the WEB for stream URLs (addresses) and logos.

 

Please note: old favourite radio stations are no longer active and should be removed.


Finding stream URLs

If you don’t already have the stream URL you can find most stations here: www.radio-browser.info  Use the search field in the top right corner: 

  • As an example, searching for the Norwegian NRK stations gives the following results: 
  • Click anywhere on the desired station and you go to a new page where you will find the stream URL. Copy this over to EC Play, or the web interface: 

 

  • Both mp3 and acc streams are supported. This page also displays other info, like in most cases URL for the Icon, which you can copy over to the EC Play app or web interface. Please ensure there are no leading spaces before the http://
