playlist problem with online radio

[kphipps]

Hi, I’m totally new at this, so sorry if it has been discussed before…I am using Firefly in order to use my Roku with OS 10.4 and iTunes 7.0.2. No playlists show up, but I don’t mind. My problem is that the way to change the preset internet radio stations is to make a playlist of radio stations in iTunes, then choose it as your default. Is there any way to get a playlist of radio stations to be visible with Firefly? Thanks!

There are a couple ways. First is to get playlists working on your firefly installation. The easiest way is to add your “my Music” folder to your music folders searched by firefly. You can do that by going into the web interface (from the general tab on the tray applet) and looking at the config page. Add the path to the “My Music” folder (should be something like c:documents and settingsyour nameMy DocumentsMy Music).

Once you have that, you can make the playlist that way.

A painful way to do it is using .URL files and .m3u files, as described here

The third way is to change the presets using the web interface on the roku by going to http://ip of roku.
