Skytune internet radios not connecting since fttp

[fiberfan]

Can anyone with an internet radio like one of the ocean digital ones tell me if the skytune server is working for them as since I had fiber I can't connect plus both radios won't shut down properly

Not really, you should be able to select the device from the drop down menu, and it will fill on the details.

Of course the device needs to be connected to the Wi-Fi, and if it isn't identified by name you will have to work through the unknowns to find the correct one.

The pictures will take some time to be moderated.

Ok I have done that and applied it and on the radio I changed from Dynamic to Fixed but I still can't connect to the Skytune server

Looks like my second image hasn't been moderated, probably because it has a MAC address showing. (although just what anybody could do with that, I don't know)

Here is is again with the MAC obscured.

Jayach:  Yes, exactly correct !  But my Tuner is the Livorno model whereas FibreFan is not the Livorno. 

I orginally bought the German "Technisat DigiRadio 10 IR" expecting it would be Germanic'ly solid, but I spent months trying to get it to connect. Never succeeded. In the end I bit the bullet, chucked it in the trashcan, and bought the Livorno.

Just which Vodafone router do you have? What devices do you have that you listen to Skytune on? (bear in mind I have no idea just what Skytune is)

[Midori47]

Skytune.net is accessible on any web browser. Your web browser can thus search for stations globally, by country. by genre, etc.  The output received will be of no user unless you have an IP Radio. Yes it is working online, and I have never known it fail. You will only see the Output in your browser for Station Names, not the related Stations IP data.  You have to access Skytune using your IP Radio for it all to make sense.

If you have an IP radio, using the IP Radio's menu system you can search for stations, and tag them as yout library of Favs. The process involves your IP Radio itself using the Skytune Service to show all the stations that match your searches.  When you select any Stations, those Stations are logged in the IP Radio's memory./menus. The IP Radio also allows all your selected Stations to be renamed as you like, and organised by country and genre., so you end up with a nice library. 

After this process, if you access the IP Radio with your own browser, (with that fixed IP (192.168.x,xxx)  you have set for your IP Radio), your own web browser then displays all your stations in a virtual App. The App is not a windows nor mobile App. it is the onboard App of the IP Radio that appears in your webbrowser when you look up it's 192.168.x.xxx address.

Thanks @Midori47 I did google it but couldn't figure out how it works, probably easier to make sense of if I had an actual radio set.

I just ask Alexa to play the station I want. 😉

[Jayach]

Now that @Midori47 has explained a bit about how Skytune works, are you saying that when you put the I.P. address of the radio in a browser, it doesn't connect?

[fiberfan]

It just shows the my favorites page, I still can't connect to the skytune server on the radio as I should be able to do and can only if I use my mobile phone as a hotspot

If it shows your "my favourites", then you have connected to the Skytune server on the radio. (if I understand it correctly)

Are you referring to the Skytune radio server on the web?

If disabling IPv6 doesn't make any difference, try using different DNS servers.
