Esp-radio does not play resolved URL

[Harry79]

Hi,

I tried to play br-br3-live.cast.addradio.de/br/br3/live/mp3/mid but Esp-radio failed to play. Instead it output:

22:27:32.814 -> D: Command: station with parameter br-br3-live.cast.addradio.de/br/br3/live/mp3/mid

When I tried to play http://br-edge-1063-dus-dtag-cdn.cast.addradio.de/br/br3/live/mp3/mid?_art=dj0yJmlwPTE4OC Esp-radio played the stream! It outputs:

22:28:44.130 -> D: First chunk:

So it seems Esp-radio figures out how to resolve the actual URL but does not play the stream if not given the resolved URL.

How to make Esp-radio play the stream right away?

Thanks & Regards,
Harald

Yes, the URL redirects to another location. A software change could be made to follow this redirect. Should not be too difficult.
