Stereo setup

Your stereo needs one thing: a stream URL.

Plain HTTP (works on everything old)

http://<vps-host-or-radio.obahan.xyz>:8000/ai-radio.mp3

HTTPS (if your stereo supports it)

https://radio.example.com/ai-radio.mp3

Adding it

  • Internet radio presets: most stereos (Denon HEOS, Yamaha MusicCast, Sonos, Ruark, Roberts, cheap WiFi radios) have "Add station by URL" / "Custom station" / "Manual tune" in their app or menu. Use the URL above.
  • DLNA/UPnP radios without URL entry: point them at the shipped playlist.m3u8 instead (files mode — gaps between songs, but works).
  • Phone/tablet as proof: VLC → Open Network Stream → paste the URL.

Title display

Song titles are written into the stream as ID3 metadata (ID3v2.3 with an ID3v1 fallback). Most stereo displays show them within a few seconds of a track change. Very old displays may show only the station name — that's the radio's limitation, not the stream's.

If the display shows the wrong/old title

The stream is continuous; some players cache the last metadata block. Skip to next track twice, or restart the stream. If it persists across players, check the shipper log — the title comes from the generator's title field (falls back to style when empty).
