Radio Station Script 5.0 Version 5.0

a parcel music manager script, which reads the pre-tuned stations from notecards and also allows custom URLs.

UPDATE 4.1 script: A customer made me aware of this flaw: a deeded radio cannot be set to group restrictions. Therefore I introduced a 'group admin' feature with this update. If you need to deed your radio, simply replace the included script by the 4.1 and also add the 'admin' notecard.

UPDATE 4.2 script: For the benefit of copy/mod radios (which cannot be deeded or given away) I created a modification, together with a 'radio relay'. The latter is full perms, simply rez and deed it, or ask your landlord to rez it for you. This configuration will work in most situations where you are not the land owner.

These changes (4.1 and 4.2) are not necessary for conventional ownership and land - the 4.0 is still fine there.

Update 4.2.2: The 'custom URL' now also accepts URLs starting with https://..

Update 5.0: in response to many requests I added the possibility of having more than one station notecard, reflecting various niches (Rock, Pop, Country, etc) by name. The _admin notecard is now mandatory.

Update 5.1.1 beta: in response to a request I added a feature where the station lists pops up automatically after a genre change.

5.1.2 a slight upgrade which also shows the current selected genre (aka stations notecard name) in the menu

You may use this script in any of your builds,

you must not sell the (working) example, and not the scripts. If used, the script permissions shall always be free.

*NOTE* Since Web radio URLs change so often or even vanish without further notice I can't keep the stations updated. If it is 'dead' you must do it yourself. One good source is Shoutcast, for example (you need the mp3 version of the stream, SL viewers can't handle different formats). Or you simply copy the parcel music information (stream URL) from a sim which intrigues you.
