Requirements

This plugin requires Logitech Media Server v7.5.0 or greater.

Installation

This plugin is available in the list of 3rd-party plugins within LMS. You should not need to do the following but if, for some reason, it is not listed or a known recent version is not listed after a day or so of being available then add the following repository to your Logitech Media Server:

https://paulwebster.github.io/RadioFrance/repo.xml If that does not work (some installations of LMS do not support https) then try http://www.dabdig.com/slimserver-rep/repo.xml - but this one might contain experimental (broken or old) versions The ‘RadioFrance’ plugin should then be available for installation from the Plugin menu - after a restart of LMS.

Usage

Once installed and LMS has been restarted you should play one of the supported radio stations. If the plugin is working then you should see artist details appear around the time that a new track or programme starts. You can also access the list of stations and schedules from the “My Apps” or “Radio” menu item in LMS (you can configure which one it appears under).

Note: Radio France does not always provide track information in a timely manner - so if you find that sometimes no new details arrive then check on the broadcaster’s site or their mobile app to see if they have the same problem.

• This plugin relies on the time on your local LMS server to be roughly correct - timezone and time - because the local time is compared with the scheduled time for each track at Radio France
• If things are not working then enable Debug logging for this plugin via LMS/Settings/Advanced/Logging interface, repeat the problem and then check the LMS logs.
