        If a stream cannot be played, it also cannot be recorded. Which is mostly because the radio streaming address is outdated / invalid / or just temporarily inaccessible.

        Recording may also be **blocked** server-side. In this case you might use the streamripper `-u` option to fake a different "User Agent" (a browser name). See the manual or streamripper manpage on some examples.


 6. <h3> Rhythmbox doesn't start playing. </h3>

    Rhythmbox is not so much an audio player, but more of a playlist manager (just like streamtuner2 itself). It'll often only add radios in some list, but won't start with playback right away. It'll crash if it got feeded a XSPF playlist even (from Xiph perhaps).

    Try `rhythmbox-client --play-uri=%pls` for the configuration. Or use a different audio player.


 7. <h3> RadioTray doesn't bookmark, it just plays the radio. </h3>

    You need to apply the documented [patch](wiki/radiotray) to make that feature work. Also check the radiotray plugin options. It's perhaps just set "play". Or if it tries to "map" your radio genres, then perhaps the association is out of sync / you don't have the preconfigured categories anymore. Then set the according option to just "root" bookmarking.
