OK, It would be great if you would make RSS folders for each of these genres.
They are a lot easier to maintain than adding each feed to the console.

Getting Shoutcast urls is easy.
1) open http://www.shoutcast.com
2) view the page source
3) search for pls?id= and you will find all the station names and urls for the top stations as below.
4) download those playlists and use the url in the File1= entry
5) click on the genres to the right and repeat to get the top genre stations.

  Code:
  <a class="playbutton playimage" id="172748" name="MusicRadio@Auto By Pj  Neoone" href="http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=172748"></a>

Ah! I'll check for that. This way above the user can put in their favourite stream rather than going through a big list.

Is there a preloaded rrs feeds for shoutcast music genres on a site?

Yes by building their own rss of those live feeds per the wiki

No, that's why I suggested you build the stock rss's for the most popular and some of the genres per the wiki

Pretty old this post but I am using it for my problem: live stream only works for me for a while (some seconds) and then switches off !! And this is happening with any stream URL. Some help would be much appreciated... :)

Why would you post this under shoutcast? Ifyou post under General Discussion, with some examples of the streams that do not work and how you set them up, and the ffmpeg -i output and the Serviio log, we can diagnose it for you, just like an EE figures out why the lights don't turn on!

Hi all

I am creating my own with my RSS favorias stations and not get it to work.

I put the code I tried to tell me where is the fault
  Code:
<item>
      <title>HOT 108 JAMZ</title>
      <link>http://link1</link>
      <media:stream url="http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=32999"  type="audio" />
      <media:thumbnail url="https://sites.google.com/site/serviiorss/redlight2.png" />
   </item>

  Code:
<item>
      <title>TurntableTendencies.com</title>
      <link>http://link1</link>
      <media:stream url="http://99.198.101.250:80" type="audio" />
      <media:thumbnail url="https://sites.google.com/site/serviiorss/redlight2.png" />
   </item>


in either case I do not see any station

Thanks and sorry for my English

There's an EVEN EASIER way to do it.

1) Open Winamp (RECOMMENDED)
2) Go to the SHOUTcast website
3) Find a station you want & click on the link (Make sure your SHOUTcast.com settings are set to USE EXTERNAL PLAYER as the link WILL activate Winamp !!)
4) IN WINAMP - Highlight & select VIEW FILE INFO (Or sompley hit ALT+F3 on your keyboard)
5) Copy the provided URL to clipboard & paste into Serviio

DISCLAIMER - IN THEORY this is supposed to work though I have yet to get it to do so with Serviio & my Playstation 3. As such, I could be doing something wrong.....

Hope this helps :)

Cheers :)

As at 2018 only two of the above Internet Radio station URLs from the 2011 list are valid according to Serviio (namely idobi Radio - http://50.117.115.210 and 181.FM (R&B) - http://relay1.181.fm:8022).
Hot 108 JAMZ is available on a different URL in our existing list.

Internet Radio stations disappear or change their streaming URL due to servers or technology e.g MP3 to aac+.
I have added the working ones to a future list see viewtopic.php?f=42&t=24378#p116776
