Spotify/Soundcloud/YouTube radio

I have no idea whether this is possible but it would be great to make actual use of the radios (and possibly introduce actual sound systems to buy in game). If you could link a spotify playlist/soundcloud or youtube link to just play the audio I think it would be better than using TVs as sounds sources.

Converting the Radio items to Media Players for YouTube and Soundcloud is already a planned feature.

The Spotify thing would only really work for premium members. But If it could somehow be integrated like Discord recently did it, it would be awesome.

Spotify partnered with DIscord to make that happen. I’m not sure if we’ll be able to pull the same thing off.

Pretty sure we can get Shoutcast live streams going though a VLC server. Will be a pain but doable.

Figured it out. Though requires a screen, but hey, you work with what you got.
This gets you working live radio streams.

  1. Go to Shoutcast.com
  2. Find a station you like.
  3. Download the .m3u file.
  4. Open the m3u in notepad and copy one of the sources from it.
    4a) In my case it’s http://144.217.29.205:80/live
  5. Paste into one of your condo’s screens.
  6. Rock out (if you want to).
