Are you saying that entering the stream url in the streams page and  
pressing play doesnt work?

Hey,

I have the same problem but with rtsp stream. the url is in this form: rtsp://rozpruwacz.local:5004/test  
if I type it in streams page and click play, the message “no valid url” appears.

I can play this url if I create a playlist file (.m3u) like this:  
#EXTINF:0,RTSP Audio  
rtsp://rozpruwacz.local:5004/test

I’m usin latest pimusicbox (0.6.0)

from this github repo:

> <https://github.com/pimusicbox/mopidy-musicbox-webclient/blob/c15c3fefd8f857f5d4f8d113e47fb69465bb4af0/mopidy_musicbox_webclient/static/js/functionsvars.js>

it seems that none of rtmp and rtsp urls are not accepted by the streams page of the mopidy-musicbox-webclient.  
rtsp is not listed on the radioExtensionsList or uriClassList so there is no chance rtsp stream can be played through the webclient.

this is a bug or this is a feature ? can it be added ? should i report this on the github

how you try to listen to this url ? via playlist ? which version of mopidy ? what says the mopidy log ?  
with the newest mopidy i can play rtsp stream but i have to add the url to metadata\_blacklist in stream configuration.
