Logitech Squeezebox Setup for the WKTZ StreamI read in the manual that the Direct URL is needed. Squeezebox Classic - Owner's Guide To play an internet radio station that’s not shown in the Internet Radio area: 1. Using the SlimServer web interface click the Radio Tune In link. 2. Enter the URL for the radio station you want to listen to in the Radio URL field and click Tune In. I'm sure the other models are similar in that in order to connect to the stream you must define the station don't use the regular link to the Flash Player. Define the staation at WKTZ or Jones College Radio so it shows up on your listing/playlist then enter the Direct URL as: http://ice5.securenetsystems.net:80/WKTZ Do not use this DIRECT link in a browser or it will not connect properly you must use a player like iTunes, WinAMP or in this case a Squeezebox.
Pause and Play IssueThis is re the Jones College FlashPlayer.jones.edu version 1.0.1 After the Listener Clicks the Pause button within the player the listener is unable to listen to the stream when Play is pressed. In other words once you have clicked on pause the stream can not be played unless it is reloaded. The Mute button works fine as well as the volume fader bar works fine.
In the dark gray area of the player, starting on the left end you see the following icons; Pause/Play, Stop, ID Area, Connection Time Area, Volume Level Fader, Mute, Stop. We are working on this but until it is solved I can only offer a joke. It goes like this. The Man goes in to the doctor and says "Hey doc what do I do If my foot hurts when I jump up and down on it like this?" and the doctor replys "Don't jump up and down on it." WKTZ Top
Station Support Team working on StreamingWe are receiving many reports about your thoughts on the new streaming quality or experience. This is a good thing many reports have me convinced you agree the quality of the stream is dramatically improved, however many of you are having issues with disconnections and interruptions. I know that the player used by many is disconnecting you from time to time to insure that you are still listening. The player is pushing advertising that unnecessary and for many unwanted. We are developing our own player that should solve this issue. The new player will contain several images and links to our primary sponsors and services, far fewer disconnections should be enjoyed by all of you. Your continued reports will help us serve you better. Keep us informed of new and existing Streaming Issues to be Resolved. WKTZ Tech Support
Can I use WinAMP to Listen to the New Stream?Yes is does work with the Direct URL entered. Where do I get it? WinAMP is Available for Download Here. We have a system running Windows 7 listening to the new stream without Banner Ads to added Advertising at the start. Thanks for your help on this Dale! Our listeners are a big help. Let us know if you need more information about WinAMP. The test system running WinAMP has now been connected for over an hour without interruption, or ad banners! I will update this as the day goes on. 9:55AM 6/23/2011. Kenneth Jones, GM This Works Great! WKTZ Tech Team
Listen to the New Stream iTunes using my Mac or PC?Yes you can. First get iTunes up and running. Delete first any old reference to the old WKTZ Stream. WARNING! if your iTunes has the old stream URL in it Delete the Old Connection First! Use the Mac command Key (Looks like a four leaf clover) + U (together), a dialog window appears requesting the URL to enter, paste or type the new Direct URL. During our tests the MAC system running iTunes 10.2+ was connected for over four hours without interruption, or ad banners! This Works Great! WKTZ Tech Team
How can I listen to the new flash stream using Linux?Because the new stream is a flash stream, you can use any flash supported software to listen. Most browsers work with flash plug-ins.
It may be technical but I understand that many players have plug-ins that
may allow you to listen from players using "xine" a software project that is
free and usually from a Linux machine but they also have Win32 (Windows)
listed as supported. It may be possible to use this software however it may
require you to use the Direct URL
listed here on this FAQ page.
More information is available at:
http://www.xine-project.org/releases
What is the Direct Stream URLMany users ask this question but the answer only applies to a very few. Knowing the direct URL does not mean that you can use it without a device capable of translating the stream into the music you want. Here is the direct URL: http://ice5.securenetsystems.net:80/WKTZ the link should be copied and used in the appropriate software. It is the same link used by handheld devices. if you discover a way the above link solves your issue listening let me know. I will post it here so others can benefit by your discovery. NOTE This link can change without notice. If it does I will try to keep you up to date.

09/28/2011I need help with the New Log File Page.
Audio Stream Cuts Out I have heard about the new stream being stopped every hour or so. This is true if you clicked the New Red (Red and Silver) Radio image an where listening on the new player developed by our streaming provider SecureNetSystems.NET. There player was designed to push the rolling Ad Banners that appear around the player. I think they are attempting to insure you are still listening so they can limit those who connect for many hours at a time. I have been assure by our new provider that we may use our own stream player (Currently under development) that will not have the issue of these ad banners or the initial connection commercial many of you have seen. We do have plans to have our sponsor banners appear in our player. Sponsors like VyStar Financial Group and First Coast Oncology who along with You who should be appreciated for helping keep Jones College Radio on the air in Jacksonville.

Check My ISPs Name ServerHi Niel, Thanks for the update! I have been working with several listeners this morning. I know that http://WKTZ.jones.edu should indeed be working fine. they have indicated this, this morning.
In one case I asked the listener to check there name service. He had a
Windows 7 system, but it could have been WinXP, just as well. In ether case,
could you try something for me? If you don't have time then discard this and
don't give it another thought. But I would be interested in the result...
Open Command Prompt usually with Start, Run cmd. You get the clasic DOS box
usually black a background with a prompt something like:
Type "nslookup wktz.jones.edu" without the quotes and press enter.
You should see something like this:
In my case the server: is our name server, in your case it is possibly set
to your ISPs (internet service provider) nameserver (That is correct [your
ISPs name server number]). Note: Jones College has 4 name servers ns,
ns2, ns3, ns4 all are named with the domain name added as .jones.edu.
Then it should display the server IP address for wktz.jones.edu as above
with:
Address: 75.148.77.155
If it does not then your ISPs name server is not resolving our address
properly. You should take this up with
your ISP (internet service provider).
Please let me know what you discover.
Can WKTZ fix it for me? We can always try... I will continue to post updates to this FAQ. If you have an issue not listed in the FAQ I would love to get your help solving it. If you assist me by describing the problem I can usually find a solution and then publish our findings here so all can benefit.
