RADIO PARADISE FLAC STREAMING 2

I see the song info changing in the LMS player btw.

Also the song duration keeps on going. Probably till the cached block is done and then all get's updated. I hope there is a fix for this.

And confirmed, the display on the superunity is refreshed when the cached block changed. 

Are you guys getting the Radio Paradise FLAC stream using a workaround on your NAS? or is there an easier way now to get the RP FLAC stream?

I use MinimSever on my QNAP, but don't want to start downloading dodgy 3rd party apps, or plug-ins just to get this to "sort of" work.

I wonder if this is because RP FLAC is not a true stream in the usual iRadio sense, from a URL recognised by vTuner. It is more a form of file playback, which needs to be received by a player that uses the RP API. In your case, LMS can do this, but presumably, not in a way that passes track info on to the SU correctly.

Quick howto:

• Install the logitech media server LMS (on my NAS it is a beta version) package from the Synology package center on your NAS.
• open the LMS web player page via the apps menu icon on your NAS's web GUI.
• Create an account on the logitechmediaserver.com page (or whatever the name was) and log yourself in. (btw.: Why do you need this login? Is it possible to use the LMS without this?).
• Follow the setup wizard to tell LMS the path to your music library if you want to play your music, too. Otherwise you probably can skip this page as I did with the playlist folder setup.
• After finishing the setup wizard open the LMS settings and choose "plugins".
• Install the upnp bridge package, the radio paradise package (and if you like the qobuz package)
• after restarting the player you can choose the settings from these packages and configure them. On my NAS I had to choose the static-ppc-driver for the upnp bridge. The none static did crash as you can see in the logfile that can be found in the LMS settings in the "information" tab. 
• After a while all upnp players in my network could be found in the player selection box on the LMS main page. I did choose my naim uniti and could play via "My Apps"->"Radio Paradise"

[@mention:36201736949470193] Well, everything seems to work, even the sending of the song info. That info just needs to be resent when a new song starts. Then it will work perfectly.

I mailed the creator of the Radio Paradise plugin and he asked me if I could ask this question on the forums where he is active.

"Please post your installation and usage details in forums.slimdevices.com. Naim obviously isn't a Squeezebox. I don't even know how you expect this to work.

I will keep you posted.

I see the problem of the not updating now-playing-screen in LMS itself, too. (And also on my uniti screen/app.)

If you are using an apple device you can use air play to stream the music from the radio paradise app to your naim, even if it does not support air play itself. LMS offers a plugin for air play support (I did forget the name, maybe it is ShairTunes2?). Together with the LMS plugin "upnp bridge" you can stream air play to a naim uniti (old school device).

There is just a small "click" sound when starting a stream, but the rest works fine. I use this sometimes to stream from the qobuz app on my ipad to the uniti. The disadvantage of this solution: You have to stream the data twice via WIFI. First to the ipad app and then via air play to the LMS. LMS hopefully is hardwired to the streamer, otherwise you send the data for the third time via wifi to the streamer.

That is strange. It updates everywhere but not the screen on my superuniti.

All is wired, no streaming over wifi here.
