It is probably my fault but I cannot get youstreams to work. I bought Chumby 8 mainly as Internet radio and I am very disappointed since I live outside the US and the device is practically useless in Europe. Youstreams seems to offer at least some sort of solution to the problem. I have done exactly was is asked for, I have downloaded the script to a USB stick, put this in the USB slot an started the device again (using every method - power off/on, cutting the power line and using restart by pressing th escreen while turning it on) and then tried to restart the widget with help etc - my code being evy-232 (where by the way? On the Chumby the folder where I put the widget is always empty and on my PC I am told the script is not installed). I know I am confused but can you help me?

I just got a chumbyone and I must admit it is quite disappointing as an Internet radio. This widget mitigates that problem somewhat. Thank you.

hello as DUANE in the chumby-forum wrote it is usefull to write a comment to improve this application. some german podcast and radio-stream use characters like umlaut (ä,ö,ü) if there characters are displayed in the field of the meta-data these characters and some of the following will not be displayed. i do not know what to change, but i hope it can be done

@timothycoghlan, and anyone having this problem: please remove all non-working streams from youstreams.appspot.com. The Chumby can become very busy trying (in vain) to fetch and parse playlist-data from non-working streams.

I used to really like this app, but then it became completely useless. Unreliable as hell...

I haven't been able to get youstreams to work for some reason either...

You streams is not stable anymore, after listening to a podcast, my Chumby classic does not respond anymore. Every time I need to reboot. I don't know was it the Chumby OS Update or the Latest You Streams version that causes this behavior. Till its fixed, better avoid You Streams.

Webpage-update for http://youstreams.appspot.com : #1# My Streams-support : You can now download a file that contains all your radio-stations in a format that's suitable for Chumby's inbuilt Internet-Radio function My Streams (in Control-Panel/Music). Log into http://youstreams.appspot.com with your YouStreams-ID, press the download-button, and save the file url_streams somewhere on your PC. You can then transfer it to your Chumby (using WinSCP e.g.) to the directory /psp. You should open the file first with a text-editor (e.g. windows wordpad or emacs): it contains some additional info at the top. Just try it ! #2# Copy / Merge to another Chumby : If you have a second chumby you can now copy over all Podcast- and Radio-Categories from one Chumby to the other. Please note that this operation only adds whole Categories with Podcasts or RadioStations - it does not alter any existing Categories or Stations, even if the names of existing entries are identical to those that are to be added. So you may first like to make some room on the "destination-Chumby" by deleting entries. #3# Bugfix : Direct-MP3-Streams should now be included in the search.

At the moment, you may encounter some problems on youstreams.appspot.com and won't be able to edit your streams, because google's appengine is in read-only mode. Latest info on http://code.google.com/status/appengine

Update: Widget "remembers" last Radio-Category, -Station and the Start-Value of the Sleep-Timer. For the Adventurous: create a widget-channel named "yswakeup" and put YouStreams inside. Then define an Alarm (in the control-panel) and chose "Play yswakeup" in the "Set action after alarm"-screen.

The YouStreams-Widget is not compatible with the DASH, you should not even see it in the widget-gallery. This has nothing to do with "service agreements/rights issues" but is of technical nature. It's because YouStreams requires an additional helper-script to be installed, which cannot be installed on a DASH (because - according to some forum-postings of "leading chumby gurus" - the DASH is a closed system).

BUG in latest version: While playing Radio or a Podcast YouStreams may accidentally return to its Entry-Screen, and then get cycled away by the next widget. SORRY FOR THIS! I'll try to fix this a.s.a.p.
Ratzfatz
– May 6, 2010
Sorry, but the Widget cannot be run on a DASH.

Thank you! Without this widget, my chumby would be next to useless to me.

@antonprange: Unfortunately not. Currently only the first entry of a .m3u-file is read.

Is there a way to import multiple stations at once via a M3U file? ie http://media.on.net/radio/playlist.m3u

Ever since I got my Chumby I have been wanting this widgdet! I did not know it existed until today! I am DELIGHTED

Fantastic widget - looks great and works well - minor recomendation (that should be taken with a grain of salt) - the timer functionality that works in the radio would be usefull in the podcast section also - went to bed last night listeneing to a podcast - fell asleep within 5 minutes but podcast played for an hour. Its only a suggestion so dont stress and the widget is great as it is. cheers Nigel

Very nice Widget, but currently there seems to be a problem with the server. I get a page containing "Error: Server Error The server encountered an error and could not complete your request. [...]" everytime I try to edit my Internet Radio or Podcast settings.

@smigdig: I have no experience in setting up an audio-server. Maybe you can search in the forum for an answer or someone in the forum here http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=4942 can help you if you post the question there ?

Can I use this to stream the audio output from my PC to my Chumby? If so, where can I get info on setting up the file/audio server?

Website-Update: You can now search for Radiostations and Podcasts contributed by other YouStream users on http://youstreams.appspot.com

@ianmanning: I'm sorry, but there's no way to use it for alarms. But you can use it to fall asleep, if you like ;-)

Minor Update: Titles with ampersand(&) should now be shown correctly. - Thank you very much for your comments!

### Update ### Volume-Slider for Chumby-Classics and Sleep-Timer for all - script must be updated: press the update button and then "Ok". After that, go to control-panel (top-button) and reload the channel. Happy Easter !

@Velvis: It should work in the same manner as for myStreams (described here: http://wiki.chumby.com/mediawiki/index.php/Chumby_tricks#Streaming_SIRIUS_Satellite_Radio). I.e. you need that software (uSirius, Tversity etc. running on a computer in your network).

Any chance of getting this to work with Sirius XM's online streams?

Sleep-Timer, volume-slider for chumby classic and pause/resume (for audio podcasts) are on the to-do-list...

This is the best widget I have, this is the one I've been looking for... Only one feature does not work, which is the sleep timer to make it perfect.

@lin_chumby: Sorry, can you please also send me an email with your youstreams-id: please go to the forum http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=4942 click on the Email-link under my Name in the left column. I'll see what's wrong and try to fix it asap

@chimaross: Hmm, sound like a browser-cache-problem - I will check your Database-entry. Please go to the forum http://forum.chumby.com/viewtopic.php?id=4942 and send me an email(click on the Email-link under my Name in the left column) with your chumby-id(s).

Seems like a great idea- but struggling with installation. Downloaded debug on to USB drive; rebooted the Chumby with USB drive installed; gave me a new ID to use on website. When I use either ID (the first, or the second after reboot), it gives me the same message "you have not installed the..." Any suggestions?

Meanwhile the reported laut.fm stream works (Thanks!). But now I cannot edit my stations on appspot, it claims "You have not yet installed the YouStreams-helper-script" - which I of course did yesterday. The three stations defined then play well.

@9072997: At the moment, the chumby-ID must be in CAPITAL-LETTERS (I will change this soon, so that small chars are also accepted).Also, you MUST enter the "-" (Minus-sign) between chars and digits. If that does not help you, please log into the forum and send me an email (click on the Email-link under my Name in the left column) with your chumby-id.

Great, needs some fine tuning with .pls streams and a sleep function. Candidate for the All-Time Most Popular Widget.

Was very disappointed that Chumby does not allow simple personal radio station management. Now this is exactly what I was missing - great widget. But - why does this not work? http://stream.laut.fm/jazzloft.m3u

A volume-slider for the Chumby-Classics is on my to-do-list. Stay tuned..
