When I use radiotray-ng, I get the error message failed to download playlist.
The url radio used is OK. test with this command on Nixos 22.11.
nix-shell -p --run “vlc -I curses http://smoothjazz.com/streams/smoothjazz_128.pls”.
Thanks for your help
works for me when changing the quotes to normal ones
Thanks for answer. Can you explain (are these simple quotes )?
With simple quotes in the bookmarks.json file. Radiotray-ng does not see radio stations
I’m having the same problem. For example, this works fine with VLC:
vlc -I curses https://somafm.com/dronezone130.pls
But in RadioTray, I get “Failed to download playlist”.
$ radiotray-ng --version

It looks like a missing GStreamer plugin: Failed to download playlist · Issue #16 · ebruck/radiotray-ng · GitHub
Thanks.
I’ve installed all the gst plugins available (good, bad, uglly etc.). radiotray-ng still doesn’t work. What did I miss to make radiotray-ng work.
