New Naim Internet Radio - feedback & requests Part1

Hi @Magnolia

I left a unit running today. About 16:00 UK time it started to get serioud buffer under-run issues. On the diagnostics the data just wan’t coming in fast enough.

It’s gone solid again and hence plenty buffered again. but will get more trace enabled to see how long its taking to download the segments from the server as something is running slow.

Will also get it on our connection emulation system to exercise the implementation in more detail.

Hello Steve,
Then I was mistaken.I thought Hi On Line Radio had more then one hi-def station.
Thanks.

Thank you so much! :pray:

Really impressed with the new radio service. Great sound and having the extra metadata is really nice. Thanks Naim.

Radio Paradise has a new mix. Can this be added if it hasn’t been already? Thanks.

Hello again and thanks for the consistent efforts. I would say the dropouts, which are currently ongoing, happen during the second half of the day, from Western Europe afternoon into the evening. For example, it is now 16:10 in Paris and Groove Salad drops out so badly I have immediately reverted to the MP3 stream. Have also spent time checking on my side. The screamingly fast and stable fiber ethernet connection into my ND5XS2 allows for comfortable and reliable streaming of all other stations, including the 4K Mother Earth stations. Brgds.

Pretty much the same here but even as early as 4 pm…

Looking at the countries in Australasia I think it might be more accurate to call this group Oceania. Possibly useful for some.

Hi @ElMarko

Early days on this one as they only have a 64K aac stream at the moment. As and when the better quality streams come online we’ll get them added.

Steve, I have experienced multiple times small hick ups on the WDR3 channel. It sounds like connection problems. I checked if it had anything to do with my internet connection, but the problem is limited to WDR3. Other WDR stations don’t have similar problems. The sound quality is very good. So I hope it has nothing to do with higher bit rate. In the past I listened to WDR 3 - Rheinland, but that is not on the list anymore.

I deleted most of my presets thinking they’d be carried over the new radio engine anyway.
In the process I lost one of my all time favorite station. Soul cafe radio (New York based).
Any chance naim add this in near future ?
Thanks

Thanks for the update, it’s great. One thing - the logo used for 2MBS FM in Australia is incorrect. It is that of Classic FM.

Cheers

I like this suggestion. Perhaps changing the word “filter” to “filter search results” could better clarify its’ purpose…my 2c

Hi @JoostMollerus

It does seem that on the new wdr3 hls streams the buffer levels are quite low (about 3-4secs max).

For now have added in the directory the legacy 256kbit mp3 stream and also this newer ‘hd’ aac one.

We’re investigating what is going on.

Regards

Steve

PS.WDR restructured their online channels a while back. This reflects the current state of play.

Hi @Digger1914

The logo we currently have in use is:

Have been hunting around and that seems right….

If not can you correct the error of our ways by posting an image of what it should be.

Hi @Digger1914

Added bonus. The ondemand / podcast content for 2MBS is now slowly feeding into the system.

Regards

Steve

Hi Steve,

Good news about the streams! Tat is the correct logo, but on both my iPad and iPhone I see this

Hi @Digger1914

Suggest delete the preset, browse to the station again, play it and resave it as a preset.

If planets are aligned it will look like this:

2MBS entry has had a good tidy up as well.
