ok thanks, fair enough but can I reiterate my request to have the track info page latch? If what you say is true and there is more interest in what’s playing then this would seem an obvious addition.
I have a specific request concerning the new radio aggregator service.
The station now playing page gives details of the station along with the station’s webpages. Fine.
However, the information shown also lists a variety of social media links. This includes the property (X) of the sociopathic billionaire now known as Kekius Maximus, formerly Elon Musk.
I suggest that these social media links be removed (on validity & social responsibility grounds alone).
Hi @castalla
On these products we try and keep politics out of the mix. That’s why there is quite a range of stations without any bias on what we do and don’t include on news/talk stations. Even North Korea have a voice on Naim Radio.
Like it or hate it, X is used by radio stations as a social media outlet and hence why we expose it. If the end user doesn’t have an account then typically it will just show a screen asking them to sign up.

Nice try! Kekius Maximus is politics writ large - I find the inclusion of his personal social medium as offensive. When I peruse a station’s information, I don’t want to be reminded of his pernicious social network.
But hey! I’m just one of those woke Guardian readers.
Thankyou Steve.
I have been using the Hidef folder in the Naim App for 3months, and there are many stations I can’t bring myself to listen to:
eg Pure Radio Hardcore
Is there a way for users to delete or hide such stations from the Hidef folder ?
I am already using the ‘favourites’ and ‘presets’ selection options.
Hello, can you let us know when the firmware release for the Unitiqute is planned to be available? Thanks.
Hi @Dugby
The general idea is the radio directory contains everything. Either browse or search for stations. The ones you like save them as favs/presets. We don’t support filtering the directory as its ever changing on content.

I have 2 online radio stations where I pay t to fund the radio. However none of them will work on the new Naim radio.
Folk Alley not so important since the only thing you get is a add free stream, but no extra it seems.
The other station is different. Radio mars from Denmark found at www.radiomars.dk
The main stream is on the naim radio, however access to shows on demand only works either from web after login or using the radio app they use for streaming.
What should they change so that the added station would work with login and showing the on demand streams?
Claus
Hi Claus,
Radio Mars - It’s a bit hard to give a definitive answer but as the ondemand streams are behind a paywall it’s unlikely they can be added to the naim system unless they are running more a subscriber trust system where they assume subscribers won’t share content. Typically the best way is use Airplay to send the audio to the streamer.
Folk Alley Subscriber - that used to be a normal url that can be added via the ‘added stations’ view.
If you would like this investigated more raise a support ticket to our support team, reference this thread and we’ll do further checks.

High quality station I don’t think is in the database yet: https://listen.camp from https://www.campfr.com/ (organisation includes Chris Watson, Julia Holter, Richard Dawson and other notable artists (if weird experimental stuff is your bag!))

Hi @jf_naim
It is now
Noticed that it does have a server side geoblock on it, but it seems to play in UK and Europe OK.

Hi @CDev
ref legacy products - we’re aiming to get those out in the next month or two. They’ve been a bit of a fight to get them to beta state due to various software components needing to be upgraded. Almost there…

Thanks for the update @Stevesky
Hi,
Just to let you know our own Naim Jazz radio stream had a problem with the https feed that we supply for third party systems. Our own radio directory service uses the http variant so not affected.
This is now corrected, but in the process of correcting we kicked off about 70 listeners worldwide from the server in the process. Sorry for disrupting your Jazz chill time.

Thank you Steve. You do us a great service indeed.
Hi Steve, my favourite station Soul Central Radio UK is listed, but the stream doesn’t work anymore. Can you help, please?
This is my favourite radio station however it does suffer from drop outs anything that can be done would be much appreciated.
Hi Chrissi,
I assume we are talking about this station:
From trying it here it seems to play ok.
If you have it stored in a preset suggest reselect the station from the directory and see if it then plays.
I’ve also checked the scanner history of this station and there is mo reported down time.

Steve
Hi @pcd
Is your streamer running the latest streamer code?
I ask as we purposely increased buffering for stations like this one to 6seconds to help minimise dropouts, as they buffer very little server side (about 1 second). We used to buffer 3secs minimum. The compromise is time to play vs link reliability.
Example on the diagnostics page:
So that is just over 6secs of audio buffered. However, if there are any networking issues between streamer and station server then this buffer can deplete quickly.
Can you also see if other radio stations like Le Son Unique (in the Hidef radio section) also have the same problem.

Steve
Hi Steve,
thank you for your response.
I deleted my preset
I selected the station from the directory
I restarted my router
I restarted my Atom
but the Stream did not start.
All other Stations work well.
