A Simple Guide: How To Add Radio Stations

A simple guide to add your favourite radio stations.

Step 1: Searching For Your Favourite Radio Stations

Locate your preferred radio station:

European Radio Stations:
http://www.listenlive.eu/

UK Radio Stations:
http://www.listenlive.eu/uk.html

(For non-European users find the an equivalent website and follow along the tutorial.)

Step 2: Acquiring The Radio Station's URL

You'll need to download a file containing the precise URL of the radio station you've chosen.

From the links provided previously navigate to radio station of your choice.

You'll notice a blue column containing the following:

Radio Station | Locaton | Listen Live | Format/Comments

All radio station links are located within the | Listen Live | column (displayed as Kbps.)

You'll be sent to another page where you can now listen to it - though want we actually want to do is to download the embedded file containing the URL. (You may have already downloaded the file by simply clicking the link).

To do this save the webpage.

I'm using Mozilla Firefox:

Go to File, Save Page As (or Ctrl + S). The file should have downloaded, navigate to the appropriate directory from which it's been stored, then open it within Notepad.

Step 3: Adding The Radio Station

You've obtained the correct URL, now it needs to be added to list of pre-existing radio stations.

Navigate to:

• My Documents/ Euro Truck Simulator 2
  
• Open 'live_streams.sii' with Notepad.

If you've opened up the 'live_streams.sii' file, you should see the following lines of code:

 stream_data[0]: "http://205.164.62.22:7800|1.FM - Absolutely Country Hits|Country|EN|128|0"
 stream_data[1]: "http://205.164.62.22:7806|1.FM - Classic Country|Country|EN|128|0"
 stream_data[2]: "http://205.164.62.11:8020|1.FM - Country One|Country|EN|128|0"
 stream_data[3]: "http://stream.100p.nl/100pctnl.mp3|100%|Local music|NL|128|0"
 stream_data[4]: "http://relay.181.fm:8050|181.FM - 90's Country|Country|EN|128|0"
 stream_data[5]: "http://relay.181.fm:8018|181.FM - Highway 181|Country|EN|128|0"
 stream_data[6]: "http://relay.181.fm:8130|181.FM - Kickin' Country|Country|EN|128|0"

Each line indicates a particular station. To add a radio station copy this code:

stream_data[Number]: "URL|Name of Radio Station|Language|Genre|128|0"

Scroll to the bottom and paste just before the curly brackets.

}

}

You should have something similar to this:

 stream_data[1]: "http://205.164.62.22:7806|1.FM - Classic Country|Country|EN|128|0"
 stream_data[2]: "http://205.164.62.11:8020|1.FM - Country One|Country|EN|128|0"
 stream_data[3]: "http://stream.100p.nl/100pctnl.mp3|100%|Local music|NL|128|0"
 stream_data[4]: "http://relay.181.fm:8050|181.FM - 90's Country|Country|EN|128|0"
 stream_data[5]: "http://relay.181.fm:8018|181.FM - Highway 181|Country|EN|128|0"
 stream_data[6]: "http://relay.181.fm:8130|181.FM - Kickin' Country|Country|EN|128|0"
 stream_data[Number]: "URL|Name of Radio Station|Language|Genre|128|0"
}

}
 

Now you'll need to change some of the values with that line of code.

You'll notice a sequence of numbers:

stream_data[1]:
stream_data[2]:
stream_data[3]:
stream_data[4]:
stream_data[5]:
stream_data[6]:
 

These numbers just indicate positions so follow the sequence and input the appropriate number for your line of code.

Next replace the underlined text with the URL you obtained earlier - though ensure this ' | ' symbol isn't replaced.

Then input the appropriate names of the following radio station, genre and language.

You now should have something similar to this:

stream_data[7]: "http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_radio1_mf_p |BBC Radio 1|Pop|EN|128|0"
}

}
 

Almost Finished.

• Run Euro Truck Simulator 2.
  
• Find the Radio ingame and select Radio Stream.
  
• Click 'Update from Internet'

Finished :)

listenlive.eu is not a radio station lookup page anymore

Thanks! :)
Just a little correction: since the genre comes before the language, the string should actually be like the following:
stream_data[Number]: "URL|Name of Radio Station| Genre | Language |128|0"
