WiiM Mini with iPad

[Rute Knocnee]

Got a problem with connecting to Internet Radio stations streaming in FLAC. All that show bitrate will not connect. Tries to connect. Then shows offline.
The only one that connects does not show a bitrate, just shows as FLAC. Sounds Impressive. Huge dynamic range.
The app WiiM Home seems to be working, all the MP3, LC and other lossy files load up and play fine.
I have tried about 10 Classical FLAC streams, several multiple times. No 896/24 FLAC.
No not believe all of them are offline.

Can you paste an example FLAC stream for others to test?

None of these load, all say offline.

Mother Earth is definitely online and playable as far as I can see but others I have tried are dead.

A couple at least should be HTTPS streams.
For example this plays for me in LMS where the http address doesn't

https://amp.cesnet.cz:8443/cro3.flac

Using Firefox, the three URLS with FLAC at the end play for me when I change FLAC to flac. Firefox is automatically changing http to https for me.

http://iradio.fi:8000/klasu.flac plays fine for me.

I think http://iradio.fi/klasupra.flac should be https://iradio.fi/klasupro.flac

Plays in Open Network Stream in the WiiM app too.

So, it's basically as simple as these URLs being not correct.

Another example: http://edge1.sr.se/p2-FLAC
doesn't work, but http://edge1.sr.se/p2-flac does. In this case, https isn't mandatory (but possible) but the streaming server is case sensitive.

Tested through Open Network Stream in the WiiM Home App.

Slartbartfast,
You might have it. The links at FMStream are not correct. I went back and checked several links. All the working links are https, they are not flac.

 

[Rute Knocnee]

Many, many thanks!
I did not know most of the links should read https. Some players may not care. Same with case sensitivity.
As you might have guessed, pretty new to streaming.
AND I have seen discussions on FLAC vs 320MP3. At least as my house the difference is big. The MP3 files seem dynamically compressed. Might win loudness war. But lose the battle. .
