Does not work properly. A lot of work with no real gain. I think that the addon should be removed as it just makes VLC look bad. Can you imagine apple letting a third party push garbage like this? Had to rename the lua files and even then the drop down menus for the categories do not produce anything. Utter garbage

This just doesn't work. I followed the directions and placed streamtheworld.lua and radiotime.lua in Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\playlist and tunein.lua in Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\lua\sd. There was still no TuneIn option under Internet in Playlist. I then went through and changed the files to .luac as someone else recommended and still nothing. So, this just doesn't work and is a huge waste of time. Anyone who got this working must be a magician.

Hey, dlawton!

First, changing the extension from lua to luac didn't work here too. So, you have to download an older version of vlc, like v1.1.11 for example.

http://download.videolan.org/vlc/1.1.11/win32/

And I've found a trick too: editing tunein.lua can ruin the hole thing. I mean, after editing tunein.lua with windows notepad the plugin wasn't recognized by vlc anymore. I had to do it with a software named Notepad2.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/notepad2/

Then place the file at:
C:\Program Files\VLC\lua\sd

The other two at:
C:\Program Files\VLC\lua\playlist

This worked for me on Windows 7.

you can use this service here to compile the lua files (converts them to luac) and then use those files like in the install instructions.

Very little magic used. Used the converter at https://luac.mtasa.com/ as advised to convert playlist files to ulac. Downloaded LuaEdit and edited user name and password. Works great! Copied the streams I frequent use to the VLC Media Library and made my own playlist.

I've long wanted a way to use TuneIn on my laptop without the web interface. This plugin does a great job of integrating TuneIn with my favorite music player.

Thank You!

If you're having issues with selecting stations...

I found the instructions to be ambiguous.

radiotime.lua and streamtheworld.lua need to go to
~/.local/share/vlc/lua/playlist/

I had only a little trouble, mostly with the zip unpacker, but I now have TuneIn on my VLC player and I'm very pleased. Thanks for this great add-on, one I'm sure I'll use every day!

Muchas gracias Diego.
Lo he probado y funciona perfecto sobre VLC en Mac OSX.
Lo que no puedo hacer funcionar es sincronizar mi cuenta TuneIn para poder cargar mis presets y favoritos.
He intentado reemplazando como dices los __username__ and __password__ variables, en el siguiente string


--
-- Class TuneInRadio
--
function NewTuneInRadio (username, password)
--
-- TuneIn Radio private members
--
local self = { AQUI USER = username,
AQUI PASSWORD = password,
__genres_cache__ = {},
__partner_id__ = "k2YHnXyS",
__protocol__ = "http://",
__BASE_URL__ = "opml.radiotime.com",
__formats__ = "aac,html,mp3,wma,wmpro,wmvideo,wmvoice"



pero no resulta...
Si dejo el archivo "tunein.lua" tal cual viene, me carga Favorites con dos radios: una "Malay" y otra que está escrita con caracteres chinos.

Hay alguna opción de acceder a una cuenta TuneIn registrada y cargar los favoritos en OSX? o sólo funciona para PC y demas sistemas operativos?
Gracias!

Hola, debes tener una cuenta de TuneIn, no asociadas con Facebook o Google.

Para probar tus datos, ingresa a Tunein.com y logueate con usuario: "user" y password "password" luego le das logout e intentas con tu usuario.

Me comentas si te funciona y luego al pasar los datos tal cual al script .lua, ten cuidado con espacios al final o algo.

Gracias por utilizar VLC

The zipped file has a *.lua file called " tunein-v2.lua " that is the one to copy to
C:\Program Files (x86)\Videolan\VLC\lua\sd

IT can remain as is or change the extension to *.luac, I suggest leaving it as is. plus if you gots an account with tunein, you can specify account in the file. where the line begins here:

--
-- Class TuneInRadio
--
function NewTuneInRadio (username, password)
--
-- TuneIn Radio private members
--
local self = { __username__ = "%username%",
__password__ = "%password%",
__genres_cache__ = {},
__partner_id__ = "yvcOjvJP",
__protocol__ = "http://",
__BASE_URL__ = "opml.radiotime.com",
__formats__ = "aac,html,mp3,wma,wmpro,wmvideo,wmvoice"

Remember tunein-v2.lua to use and modify.

Add instructions for Mac users, you know, the NUMBER ONE VLC PLATFORM. Why are the instructions per Addon anyway and not per category?? Why did I have to spend 10 minutes going through a lengthy registration process complete with CAPTCHAs and confirmation emails to leave one lousy comment about something I shouldn't have to comment about in the first place? While your server took 3 minutes to load a page. SO FRUSTRATING

Your page on shoutcast says to get a shoutcast addon from this website because it was taken out of the main release and it's not here. Your website SUCKS
