Adding radio stations

[Thantica]

Hello. I have tryed adding Absolute Radio into the radio streams ingame but I must be missing something since it does not work (opened it in browser and added the link into the format). Can anyone post here the neccessary text to copy into the stream file? Thank you

Assuming you mean Absolute Radio at http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk you can get a list of their radio stream URLs here: http://www.absoluteradio.co.uk/listen/on-other-devices.html. However those URLs won't work in ETS2. You'll need to enter those URLs into another media player like WinAmp to get a URL ETS2 can connect to.

I know the 128k MP3 streams work in ETS2, haven't tried any of the alternate formats. As for the text you need to add to the live_streams.sii file, it should be added to the end of the file after the last existing stream but before the closing brace, like this:

stream_data[195]: "http://relay.181.fm:8056|181.FM - U-S 181"
stream_data[196]: "http://http://stream.timlradio.co.uk/ABSOLUTE80SIRMP3?ats=1|Absolute Radio - 80s"
}

Easiest way to do it is to just copy the last entry in the file and add 1 to the number in brackets and then replace the URL and station name, being sure to include the | between them with no spaces.

You also have to change the top entry "stream_data: xxx", the number must be 1 greater than the index number of the last entry in the file. It is the number of entries, the list starts at zero so the number of entries is 1 plus the index number of the last entry.

{
live_stream_def : _nameless.421C.CA48 {
 stream_data: 262
 stream_data[ 0 ]: "http://mp3stream7.apasf.apa.at:8000/|NRK P3 - NL"
 stream_data[1]: "http://icecast3.play.cz/evropa2-128.mp3|Evropa 2 - CZ (128k)"
...
 stream_data[261]: http://nprdmp.ic.llnwd.net/stream/nprdmp_live01_mp3|NPR
}
}

NOTE: The entry "stream_data[ 0 ]" does not have spaces before and after the zero in the actual file, the forum does not properly display that line without the spaces.

If you can open the URL (that you want to put in the file) in Windows Media Player, then you can probably put that URL in the live streams file.

Typically you may find playlist (.pls) URLs, these will usually not open in ETS2
