Anyone know how to get FIP back?

[michaelb]

I can select FIP and also enter the appropriate URL to stream but it won't play.

Anyone know what's happened. Is this similar to the TuneIn issue a few years back?

Has anyone found a workaround?

Is this the same station?



This is playing okay for me through Sense, have it running through my DAC now.
Are all other radio stations okay?

 

[michaelb]

Yes. That's the one. Not playing here. You can select it, then it shows as playing (silently) for a second and stops....

 

[Stephen Healy]

Are all your other radio stations working, is this the only refusing to play?
Presumably you had this station working before?

 

[michaelb]

Yes to both questions.

Many thanks....

Yes to both questions.

Many thanks....

I have given this station a test again now, and still fine. Am assuming you have not started running a VPN on your network which would give the appearance of being in a region that FIP does not stream to? I believe they have their own native app; if you install that on your phone or try streaming from their main website player, do they work okay?

 

[michaelb]

Thanks for looking into that.

It's still not playing here. No VPN on my network and FIP plays fine using the Naim app and my web browser (Safari)

Could you please try going to the audio settings in Sense and make sure you do not have a maximum sampling rate limit applied? Please make sure it is set to no limit:

That did it! These isn't a no limit setting for my streamer, but setting it the highest value (768,000) overcame the problem.

Many thanks and happy weekendings!

No problem - we found an odd exception where the sample limiter was affecting how AAC format was being played (which happens to be the FIP format). A lot of stations run on AAC, but many use MP3, hence why you would have had mixed results.
Thanks for the report!
