GENERAL ANSWERS

What does this program do?
Answer:The Viddi Radio Player offers you a huge world wide selection of internet radio stations. Find radio stations based on type or geograpic location and start play them at the click of a button.

First you have to select type or region in the drop down box at the top, example: "Dance & Techno". A complete list of all streams matching your search will then load into the bottom drop down box.

With several hundred streams in one little program your no longer need those browser based 'radio players' overfilled with ads. :)

STREAMING ANSWERS

What firewall ports do the Viddi Radio Player use?
The Viddi Radio Player (VRP) uses 'standard ports' for playing Windows Media or Real media streams.

You may be required to open default ports on your firewall/router for Windows Media Player and/or RealPlayer.
Visit http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/serve/firewall.aspx and http://service.real.com/realplayer/streamhelp/ for more info.

INSTALLATION ANSWERS

Answer: WMP is used to play any asx or other windows media formats, but it cant handle all RealMedia formats. Components from the RealOne Player is used for this.
You may be able to use viddi radio player without RealOne, but all streams will most likely not work! (requires older version of the real player or RealAlternative)

DATABASE ANSWERS

How do I add a new station to my database?
Answer: Try following these 3 steps:
- Click the database icon (D) => Local Database => Add New
- Fill inn all form field
- Hit the OK button

In the below example I want to add a stream for "Mostly Classical" from Digital Imported. (http://www.di.fm)

1. Open the webpage of the radio station
(http://www.di.fm)

2. Check if they offer any online live radio and try find a direct link for the live steam.
Some radio stations offer more then one bandwidth (modem,isdn,broadband) or playback option (windows media, realplayer, mp3).

3. Right click the shortcut for the stream you want to add and click "copy shortcut"
In my example I want to use the mp3(winamp) high speed stearm for best possible sound quality. (http://www.di.fm/mp3/classical96k.pls)

4. Now switch back to the viddi radio player and start filling in the form.
(Click the database icon (D) -> Local Database -> Add New)

Name:
Will be displayed in the drop-down box and on the 'display' of the VRP.
"Digital Imported - Mostly Classical"

Hompage(url):
Enter the url for the radio stations webpage so you can later use the "info -> visit radio stations webpage" from the VRP.
"http://www.di.fm"

Stream url:
"rigth click -> paste" if you followed the steps above
"http://www.di.fm/mp3/classical96k.pls)"

Stream type:
What kind of steam technology is the radio stream using ?
(Windows Media, Real or mp3 ?)
In this example I used the mp3 steam, so i select "mp3" from the drop down-list.

5. Hit the OK button
The new station is now available in your favourite list.

Sometimes the radio stations list the direct link(s) for the live radio steam(s) they have available, other radio stations expect their listeners to be using a internet browser based player. For those you may need to check the source of the html files to find the direct stream url(s).

- First select type or region from the top drop down box
