Wake up to streaming radio (nearly)

[Guest Ozzie252]

Hi,

I thought I'd be the coolest person on the block when I used a combination of REAL Player, XBar, and the Wi-fi on my Orange SPV M5000 to wake me up to the streaming Chris Moyles show on Radio 1 at 7:00am on weekday mornings.

You see XBar 3 has a built in function to schedule when you want to run programs. So I downloaded the ram file that points to radio1 listen live:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/realaudio/media/r1live.ram

And this file is associated with real player.

I've added the line to the scheduler that runs this file at the specified time.

So 7:03 am came around and no Moyles (some say that would be a good thing), the message on my phone when I opened it was "Cannot connect to server"!

When scheduling a file to tun in a couple of minutes when the phone is open - it all works fine, but when it has been closed overnight I get the error.

Before you ask, no my wifi is not set to disconnect after an idle time.

Please help, I want to be cool 8-B

Cheers,

Oz
