Downloaded Ver 0.3 from the link here on Wiibrew (the version via the link on homebrew channel just freezes with cursor in top right corner) and now up and running on a Wii 4.0 PAL. Really cool to be able to play Shoutcast radio through the Wii - fantastic job!! Noticed there was an earlier post about wiiradio not recognising PLS files saved to the SD card from Shoutcast. Did this get fixed cos I've tried copying my fave stations over as PLS files to the SD card but although they show up in the PLS folder on the card they don't appear on the playlist menu on the app. I am desperate to listen to "Secret Agent Radio - Soma FM", a bit cheesy but a really cool station!!

Thanks for the update - I'm happy to wait for the "release" version (aka I'm a bit of newbie and get a bit nervous mucking around too much with boot.dol files!). Thought I'd give it a go to edit the PLS file but not quite sure which bit needs to go in parens? This is what the PLS file currently looks like:
#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,Centovalley - Visions Of Voodoo (Secret Agent: The soundtrack for your stylish, mysterious, dangerous life. For Spys and P.I.'s too! [SomaFM])
[scfire-mtc-aa06.stream.aol.com]
As you can see the station name already seems to be in parens - or do I need to put parens around something else?? The square parens "[" around the web address do not appear in the actual PLS file it should read "h t t p : / / scfire....." but I guess the message board tags it as an address and displays it as a link? Sorry if I am being a bit dumb!
[playlist] numberofentries=1 File1=http://scfire-mtc-aa06.stream.aol.com/stream/1021 Title1=(#1 - 1/1) Centovalley - Visions Of Voodoo (Secret Agent: The soundtrack for your stylish, mysterious, dangerous life. For Spys and P.I.'s too! [SomaFM]) Length1=-1 Version=2

Ogg support will not be in WiiRadio for a while (At least not the next version). Currently just mp3.Quote

Does RadioW (Wii Radio) support ogg streams like winamp?
Seems more radio stations are picking up ogg streaming for lower bandwidth higher quality sound.
Not sure what you mean here?Quote

Also will "Play URL" be incorporated into this app?

Instead of making or finding a pls file to put on your SD card, you can just punch in the URL. ie Hardradio mp3 shoutcast PLS URL. Or Direct IP to Hardradio Stream mp3. Both can be typed into the "Play URL" dialog of winamp, and winamp connects and runs with it.

Hey,
I am a big fan of wiiRadio, thanks for the great app. I have question though, would it be possible to have it playing on the background when executing other wii brew compatible apps?
Thanks again for the great app!!!

I am another (new) fan of WiiRadio.
I wonder if larger buffer sizes might make it possible to play a 320kbps stream. Currently I am only able to play 160kbps streams without the Wii stuttering.
Please see this link for more info: I am trying (and almost succeeding) at using Jamcast on a PC to direct Pandora to my Wii using WiiRadio:

I would be glad to give up some of the GUI capabilities to obtain this functionality. I am willing/able to hack on this a bit as well, if you give me some pointers on how to hack-out the resource-intensive portions of the GUI.

scanff,
After reading your post I realized that I hadn't tried WiiRadio with a 320kbps radio station. So I did this with "Bartok Radio" (http://212.92.28.75:2008), and sure enough, I saw "Buffering..." messages and heard gaps in the music. But then after about 10 seconds when the screen went black, the re-buffering problem stopped after another 20 seconds had elapsed. So it seems that WiiRadio currently can't handle both the GUI and streaming a 320kbps stream.
So I went back and tried my Jamcast (Pandora) stream again, and this time waited for the screen to go black. There were some small skips in the audio, but I think that this is due to Jamcast, not WiiRadio, since I didn't see the "Buffering ..." messages.
I think that if you could make WiiRadio robust enough to play 320kbps simultaneously with the GUI (by changing the data processing, not by changing the GUI), then it would be robust enough to play Jamcast stations, even if one has to wait until the GUI turns off to use Jamcast.
Thanks for your great software ...
