Question about radio streaming.

Hi there,
I am very excited about Appery.io features and possibilities.
So far the support seems to me the best.
Now i want to make a question about developing app for radio station.
Is there a way to make an app for a radio station?
The app should have the following:The buttons "play", "stop", the volume bar and a label that will show the title of the track which is playing at that moment.
The radio station url might be provided by: Shoutcast,Icecast,Radionomy or Autre Flux.
Any suggestions?

Hi Stavros,

This is possible, if it could be done in browser, it should work in Appery.io.

I'm not familiar with radio stations providers but if they provide service via RESTful API's it can be done easily.

I'm trying to set my streaming radio on our app as we speak. I'm creating a "Rest" service. We use wavestreamer for our shoutcast host. I'm not finding an api key, I have the url streaming link, posted that in the settings and tested it. works fine, but have no idea how to find out my api key and receive a response. help?!

You would need to contact the API provider where to find the API key. We don't know either.

so it's not as simple as posting the script to the player in as html (panel option)

It could be, if they provide such script.

all they have provided for me is a url with m3u in it for a stream. do you have instructions on how to add a player to my app with the url for the stream?

You can use the standard HTML5 audio element, available as a widget in Appery.io builder. I'm not 100% it can stream that specific format. It's something you would need to try/test. Or you can insert a complete script. The script you would need to get from the API provider.
