Loaded PiMusicBox into my Raspi 3 B+ so I could listen to internet talk radio streams. Streams such as NPR, WAMU, and WQED play fine, but some streams won’t play at all. They will play through iTunes or on a MacBook but won’t play through PiMusicBox - for example:

[http://212.83.172.11:8504/listen.pls?sid=1](http://212.83.172.11:8504/listen.pls?sid=1)  
[http://174.37.159.206:8170/listen.pls?sid=1](http://174.37.159.206:8170/listen.pls?sid=1)

Any idea why these won’t play - is a specific codec or Mopidy extension needed? I’ve experimented with different suffixes of the urls but no success so far.

Thank you!

Yeah, I’m having the same issue with certain TuneIn Stations. Nothing I found from [Nugs.net](http://Nugs.net) will play in Musicbox. However, they all play fine through the TuneIn website. I’m a novice at this stuff so any help would be appreciated… Thanks
