Works good, I have yet to find Limp Bizkit on here. I'm going to start breaking stuff if I can't find and listen to Limp Bizkit

Can't get this to work. Tried the previous release and this one. Anytime I select a station it just freezes. All of my network settings are correct.

Good stuff !
Made my own with my locally and mix radios.
Minor changes:
- Specific selection of radios for the boot default playlist
- One line with the title, above each radio
- Modded lua scripts to jump first VMU Check, Removed DHCP Option, Default IP Address as i need

Any station or only somafm stations? Maybe you could try to change the DNS to 8.8.8.8 ?

That's the same DNS that I use. I use the same IP settings for all the DC games that I play and they work. Whenever I try any of the stations including somafm it just freezes for 30 seconds then skips to the next station on the list. At this point the program becomes unusable and I have to reboot my console.

Cool idea! I'm trying to get this to work, but can't seem to enter anything for my network settings. Neither my keyboard nor the on screen keyboard seem to be working properly. What might I be doing wrong?
EDIT: Nevermind, my controller was just acting a little dodgy. Such a big variety of stuff to listen to, I love it!

I have no idea, sorry. Did you try any of the other radio stations or only somafm?

This seems like the problems I had before too when I first use this. I don't know what exactly the problem is but I think it's internet providers. Some are more strict than others and remember this is a beta and never was fully completed. Anyways Scrivani was able to help me get this working. I would ask him for help. He is very friendly
