Cannot hear radio Czech flac streams

**borgibo** · 25-07-2010, 16:21

Hello,

Since the 20th of this month I am unable to listen to http://radio.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac streams any longer. The streams seem to reach the computer at their normal average rate of 100KB (800kbit/s) but there is no sound.

Has anybody experienced same? I use vlc to listen and record. The new flac Absolute radio is ok most of the time, it is on trial they say, works very well when streaming at an average of 150KB. Hence there is no problem with my equipment.

Regards,

borgibo

I have not been able to play the D-Dur FLAC stream recently.

I thought it could be my system, but clearly not. I cannot play the stream with either VLC or Foobar.

Could it have been discontinued?

The Maxi-OGG stream at 256kb/s is fine.

Tried to play the cesky FLAC stream in Linux, but no sound.

Code:

 mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=1.0 -playlist http://radio.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac

Name   : Cesky rozhlas D-dur
Genre  : classical
Website: http://www.rozhlas.cz
Public : no
Bitrate: 128kbit/s

The stream is found and is being downloaded but nothing is audible.

As Brian said, the OGG stream is OK.

This is way to low to be FLAC, looks like MP3

Still no FLAC stream. Does anyone know anything?

If Tony Lauck is right, the experiment is ended, time to send an Email to this radio station and ask them to continue.

I did just that on 26/7. Emailed d-dur@rozhlas.cz to ask status of their experimental FLAC stream, but I never received a reply. May be someone else will have better luck.

On AudioAsylum somebody reports it is working again: http://www.audioasylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=pcaudio&m=78450
