They have BLOCKED inserting URLS into the Portable boombox !!!!!

[PRESIDENT TONALD DRUMP]

portable boombox does NOT allow you to paste radio station urls in !!

In the test branch it did.
Why have you blocked and stopped people from pasting in there own address to radio stations.

I am NOT happy.
I purchased solely on the basis I could paste my urls in and play my music.

I do NOT want to play your selected channels nor do I want anything to do with the BBC as in the UK we are required by LAW! to have a licence to play BBC live streams tv or radio.

FIX IT PLEASE.
stop blocking us from having fun !

Custom URL in BOOMBOX?

The new DLC is out and all, but i've heard that it would let us use custom url.
Any idea how to do it or if facepunch just lied to us?
i really want to rickroll my raiders.


Update : At the moment, only admins can play streams on the boombox :(
I've made a suggestion on rust website, feel free to upvote it so we can maybe have our own streams one day

Want to but i dont see a feature for this... Possibly server admins restricted it. Maybe. I dont like it.

[TheShadowsOfGhosts]

Seems not being the admins, i know i could do it on the stage-branch, but not on the server after release.. =/

[CaptainNebulous]

By default only admins have permissions to do it. But some admins seem to be having issues (or perhaps they aren't using actual streaming radio URLs? I don't think it's intended to be able to put a youtube link in there or anything like that)

Seems not, we have checked, even for the serverowners cant do it..

I have tried so many different URLs and I am getting nothing.

you do need it to be either .pls or .m3u filetype for getting it to work (from the stagebranch and it did work for us there)..

Now i also, see that someone else wrote : according to FP on their website, only server admins can add them using convar command BoomBox.ServerValidStations but when I try adding them on my server nothing works.

[Pingsteal]

You have to do it from the server side of things, not in the game client.

[peterdahermit]

hm

[PRESIDENT TONALD DRUMP]

no you dont have to do it server side I played it in the staging branch NO you do NOT !!
we where able to place our own links in bro, its been blocked right before the DLC came out rendering it useless to me with crappy preset radio stations.
People in the UK need a licence to listen to BBC stations live even through the game.
or face £1000 fine

It may have been that way in the staging branch, but it's different now. Like I said, if you run the command through on the server side, you can add custom URLS. The command is BoomBox.ServerUrlList NAME, URL
I'm having trouble getting custom URL's to work as well as my internet radio stream currently isn't playing through the in game boombox. But this is the way to do it. It's even on Facepunch's dev blog.

Server Admins can add additional stations that might interest their players. Use the BoomBox.ServerUrlList convar to add stations (eg. BoomBox.ServerUrlList “Test Station,www.teststation.com”)

That might not be the answer you want. But there it is.

[PRESIDENT TONALD DRUMP]

That is for server admins only.
The average player that has purchased this DLC in hope of playing there radio stations exactly how it was days before the DLC came out now can not play any music bar crappy presets.
The change is massive in my opinion. And a full refund should be offered to players, same old thing with facepunch, they never want you to have fun always restricted.
Allowing you to paste your own presets ingame into the machines has now essentially been blocked.
no reason given. It was all fine days before the DLC dropped.
If you read this do NOT waste your cash.

Utter scam !
FIX IT FACEPUNCH !!!

[PRESIDENT TONALD DRUMP]

It says on the DLC '' play your music '' we can NOT play our music but only pre defined music from your crappy list and what ever server admins put on.

FIX IT SO WE CAN PLACE OUR OWN LINKS IN.
This is the most sneaky DLC release in history.
#You will not get any money from me here on till you fix it.

If anyone have some knowledge on ip sharing or radio coding, please go check the post on rust website.
You could really help us get custom radios for everyone
