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

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.
