Hi

I have now owned the nokia n97 for 2 months, in this time I have spent 1-2 hours per day trying to find a work around for internet radio so I can listen at work or in the car/ on foot.

somebody tell  me I can not do this, I have spent so much time now trying to get a certain station to work correctly, here is the station:

Help me to get this link to play: http://www4.talksport.net

at present I have tryed:

http://www.vradio.org/index.php?js=a

http://download11.getjar.com/downloads/web/pub/59237/VRadio.jar

http://www.vesihiisi.org/symbian/

http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/LCG-Jukebox-Symbian-Download-24344.html (lcgjukebox)

non of these support my favorite station

during my intense googling and trial and errors using various links with various players I have only been able to make a small amount of progress, and the fact that I have bothered to write this is testament to my anger and building frustration at nokia and the so called flagship n97. it is especially painful when my previous phone the n95 did almost everything asked of the device, ok you get the point I am very very angry.

in my continuing battle with this program I have been able to make some baby steps:

http://www.moodio.fm

mms://utv-talksportUK.wm.llnwd.net/utv_talksportUK?h=7db17f50187ccb367fa11332af5dfba8 (nokia 5800 stream working)

using moodio AND MY NOKIA 5800 I am able to find about 15 different streams that allow me to listen to my favorite stream at the top of the page. all I have to do is register save the links on my pc, then log into my moodio account from my phone, click the link and real or nokia player boots up and the station will stream. HAPPY DAYS!!

NO not happy days because I thought a good upgrade would be the n97 which absolutely will not play the stream, I have the latest firm ware update and java and everything else is enabled on the phone, also won’t connect using my home network!

ok so the rage against the machine continues, I have have come up with this: (using N97)

http://coreplayer.com/ (currently only 3rd edition symbian but works if you force it)

http://utv-talksport.wm.llnwd.net/utv_talksport (put this link into coreplayer)

so I am now at this point, and what a very long time it has taken to get here, anyway this will stream for 5 - 10 minutes if your lucky then the application will loose connection and you have to exit and restart, which I have been doing but I am ready to throw my phone into the river because of this massive inconvenience.

the time I have put into this operation is unhealthy, yes I am sad but I just want to listen on my nokia n97. I am almost ready to give up on nokia and go to the iphone as my misses has plenty of apps that play this stream correctly which is even more annoying.

I don’t want to go to another device as I love the n97 screen and pull out keyboard but what can I do aaaaaggghhh!!!!!

look how many others want this feature: the only station that tells it how it is: political , racist, conspiracy theries, terrorist, alternative views and general chat  after 10pm of course. its all football before that butwhat a listen this station is!!

back to the point:

here are some other links that will play in core player but not real player,lcg,virtual, flv player......

Hi andyfoz Try using the TunIn.FM app (do a Google search) - there isn't (yet) an S60 v5 version for the N97 but you should be able to use the S60 v3. Download it to your phone, select "All stations" from the options & you'll find TalkSport under "Sports".

[andyfoz]

omfgg i think im going to cry, while i hate not being able to do stuff by myself i cant tell you how much i appriciate this help.

that brings 2 months of searching to an end, currently listening.

you are a god!

[andyfoz]

ok works, but theres no freaking volume ajuster?

anyone know how to force the volume up?

almost soved! help!

[andyfoz]

use the cursor buttons to ajust vol, completely solved now!

Hi andyfoz

As an update to this post, I've just loaded a beta version of the Skyfire web browser (S60 v5 - http://www.skyfire.com/), which plays the video content on the BBC Sport internet pages & the Listen Live media player on the Talksport.net website.  Definitely worth a go!

[andyfoz]

ok im on it!

[andyfoz]

yep def works but not as stable as tunein.fm.

but a great browser for googling though, makes the most of your screen, cheers

[giovannivl]

I use TuneWiki, i found on OVI Store, and works ok for me with streaming radio...

[junkmatt]

a miracle, at last streaming radio on the N97!!! this phone is now rescued from the scrapheap of technology. Why can't Nokia add the app that was included with N95, etc?

[0d0a]

which application did you use? The wiki one is ok but my favourite station is not found!

radio patapoe! 

[Wickfut]

please expand on this as i'm having the same trouble and i'm not sure what you mean by the 'cursor buttons'...

regards,

nelson

[andyfoz]

cursor buttons/ dpad / directional buttons / thumb pad / get it?
