Icecast integration with Facebook Page - Airtime Support Discussions on Sourcefabric Forum

Alex Stanley

Hello,

Does anybody know if there is an app that I can add to a Facebook Page which will act as a 'radio player' for my Airtime/Icecast stream? I've tried searching the web for one but can't find anything, but I'm convinced there should be something out there which will do the trick..

We are using this plugin for facebook integration!

It's very easy to configure and works like a charm!

I've also been searching for facebook integration, but haven't found a solution yet.

I tried your suggestion but I haven't been able to get it to work?!

Aris Synodinos

Can you send me a link or a screenshot of your configuration to check for any errors?
Here is ours that works fine:

that's working well, probably a configuration problem...

Roman Schmerold

That's very strange... I haven't been able to change the settings, always got a blank page. After I visited your player everything worked for me...

Albert FR

mark as solved then ;-)

Help a friend -- please encourage them to kick the habit. Scores of scientists overwhelmingly agree, FB is a leading cause of brain cancer. :-q

Aslan Davis

Radio jar works as far as being able to listen but when you share it facebook blocks the share saying it has been deemed abusive

Roger Wilco

Hello! FB is decidedly not a friend of radios. Repeat -- radio has nothing to gain from a FB page. Nothing! Someone please explain what good having 10k+ "likes" is if you can't send a message to all 10k followers without paying literally hundreds of dollars? And more to the point, likes can be purchased, plain and simple. Don't down vote, seek the truth. There are dozens of better ways to connect with fans old and new. :)>-

OK Roger, we sought the truth - and the truth has set us free..

We get quite a lot of new listeners through FB. :P
We post, into large FB Groups, details of upcoming shows that are ON TOPIC.
Works like a charm. :)

Roger Wilco

John -- you've charmingly evaded my main point! :x

To reach 10k followers, I've been presented with invoices for hundreds of dollars. Are you disputing this behavior? Has Facebook recently revised their marketing policies to allow radios to target new potential listeners for free or at a substantially reduced rate? Do they barter? And who exactly audits FB's *self-produced* impression counts for accuracy, anyway?

The truth is, hundreds of dollars would be better spent reaching real people in the real world with physical marketing via digital billboards, newspaper spots, and the like.

They are b*stards. But useful (for free) if you use GROUPS.
Get your listeners to join your radio station FB GROUP.
Post in other big groups.
