  • Probably, through an app I guess.
  • Radio stations are very easy to implement from a developer's point of view; it should be as easy as finding the correct URL and entering that.

    IR range improvements is a different story and unrelated to the media player.
  • IR and mediaplayer ? I don't see the connection... Radio-stations is something obvious imho... I would like to have radio 1 back...
  • lol no connection between the 2 but just wondering if some knows
  • Yes just to let us know if it could be improved
  • When will media player be implemented in Homey ?

    Now that Homey Music is in place (Beta), this thread is relevant again! Any volunteers for getting radio stations in Homey Music?
  • Radio stations were available in the Vradio app, but it was pulled when Media was removed. I hope the app will be updated and re-released.

    Or can somebody build an app using the same service as Sonos: Tunein Station? http://tunein.com/

    Radiostations?
    I am already casting radiostations for a long time with the Chromecast app to my Sony HT XT3.

    Exactly, that's why we need a special radio app. So everyone can use it. Not only with Sonos but also with Bluetooth speakers.

    Well, lets try to encourage @santor to make his radio app available again, post your support in the issue I created.
    I've looked into it but can't get it to work without the  variables Homey.env.VRADIO_STATIONS_HOST, Homey.env.VRADIO_STATIONS_PATH and Homey.env.VRADIO_ARTWORK_SOURCE. These variables seem to have been set on submission of the app to the appstore but are missing now.

  • Should be awesome if they can implement TuneIn so you can have a Remotec zwave scene master activate different radio stations by pressing 1-8 on the pad!

    The Chromecast app already supports radiostations wich could be used in a flow
  • Ok cool and can they be played on a sonos?

    Well as said it's a Chromecast app that supports it, so i don't know if Chromecast can stream to Sonos, should work when Sonos uses your TV output? Otherwise a dedicated tunein app needs to be made then it will also work :)
