Help

Statistics shows that only 1% of listeners have problems with listening (25.02.2021). Every day this percentage tends to 0 (2 years ago it was 15-20%). The following describes what, how and why. Nothing complicated.

Requirements

To listen radio all you need is modern browser. We recommend Firefox. Canceled support for HTTP/0.9 causes some Internet radio stations unplayable in Chromium based browsers, such as Google Chrome and Opera.

Nuances

Connection to the stream and buffering takes some time, which depends on the stream bitrate and the bandwidth of your Internet connection. That is why radio can start playing not immediately. Wait a bit.
Most radio stations have multiple streams of broadcasting. Select the best stream for your Internet connection and the desired quality.

Possible problems

Google Chrome blocks streams over the HTTP protocol, treating them as mixed (unsafe) content. The stream is there, but the browser doesn't let it "play". This can be disabled directly in the browser, because there is no point in blocking audio streams at all. To do this, click on the site icon in the address bar, go to "Site Settings" and allow "Unsafe content" there. Or use Firefox. All streams are checked manually and automatically in the background. But there is nothing eternal and ideal. There is always the chance that at the moment when you want to listen to any radio, it does not play. Typшcal reasons:

1. Old school browser,
2. Slow speed of your Internet connection,
3. Problems with the source.

As a rule, if the stream is presented in the catalog and not marked as unstable or absent, then the reason is number 1 or number 2, or number 3 for a short time.

1. Update your browser,
2. Stop your downloads if you have any,
3. Check if another stations are OK,
4. Try to switch to another stream of the desired station (if it is).
