Internet Radio Stations VTuner - Dead ?

[jfbuk]

Hi,

Can someone at Wiim confirm that the VTuner radio service is now dead ?
I belive that Vtuner have ceased operations.
If so, the VTuner service should be removed from the App and it would be nice if a suitable replacement was made available.
Most manufacturers seems to be turning to Airable.
I know Tunein is still available but Tunein places a lot of geographic restrictions on the availability of stations.

Thanks

vTuner still working here.

Lyngdorf did get rid of vTuner in favour of airable some months ago, so I can only test with my WiiMs.

Vtuner has always been a bit hit and miss for me, and it’s still the same - some stations will play, others won’t.

interesting - that station does work on my Wiim but not from the Vtuner website.
Others which previously worked no longer do but it seems that there may still be life even if they are not updating streams

vTuner "Greatest Hits Radio" working 100% for me too, on my Ultra.

The vTuner platform is not stable.

I would also like to see other platforms integrated with WiiM Home App. For example "radio.net".

Any update on the “Enhanced Internet Radio (WiiM Radio)” feature mentioned in the now very old Ultra roadmap or indeed the HD Radio feature mentioned in this two year old post?

If not, airable would be a great alternative.

obviously the 'nothing else matters software' name shows that they do not matter any more

It seems that VTuner is a Norwegian Blue and merely "pining for the fjords" rather than "expired and gone to meet its maker"

Hey all, I'll have the team check this out! I haven't heard anything regarding VTuner yet, but I may not be in the loop on it yet.

Just surprised nobody’s popped up yet about the excellent radio options in Lyrion

lyrion?

I use vTuner for SOMA FM and it works fine. Although it would be nice to have direct integration with SOMA FM like there is for Radio Paradise.
