Internet Radio Stations - not a single station works

[Ove-Jan Kenobi]

Heyo from Denmark!

When trying to utilize the Internet Radio Stations in the game, it just keeps skipping to the next station. I even went to the radios.txt file and copied some of the links out to test it in my browser, and there it worked fine. I really want it to work, as it is a really neat feature.
Any thoughts on a fix?

I cannot provide a fix for your situation, but I can say that I live in Denmark too and I do not have any sort of problems with the internet radio. Most likely it is a problem in your game files or with the installation, that could be fixed if you uninstall the game and deleted all game files and saves from your installation directory and installed the game again, when you have installed the game try start a new game save too, if somehow the problem is related to your previous saves.

Remember to make a backup of your save files before deleting anything.

Maybe uninstall/reinstall or check integrity of game files. Is it possible a firewall is preventing the program from accessing network features?

Even if you can make it work though, I would recommend a stand alone player. All of the in game radio stations play advertisements way too often.

I found the Radio PRO website linked below to be very useful in understanding the PCBS Internet Radio better. It includes links to a functional Windows Demo version, Documentation PDF, API PDF, and a Forum where the developer seems happy to answer questions.

Do you have a slow or congested internet connection that might be causing your station skipping? On pages 3 and 4 of the Forum mentioned above the developer talks a little about adjusting Chunk Size and Buffer Size to try to solve connection problems.

Tried reinstalling to no avail.
I even tried the Demo from Crosstales' home page - I managed to get 1 radio station playing right when I started - after that, I couldn't get any other station to work, and when I switched back to the working station, it didn't work either.

Connection is fine. 300/300, no congestion.

As I mentioned. If I take the link from radios.txt and put into my browser, the radio loads fine.

I even tried disabling both the firewall on the router AND the firewall on the pc - no change.
