#Baseball played on artificial turf is better than no baseball at all. Slightly.

I listened to a little of her play-by-play this afternoon, and she's good. I look forward to hearing her call a whole game when I get a chance to tune in.

The trick for the MiLB only-at-gametime streams is, use:

https://milb.streamguys1.com/townname

(Obviously substituting the town name for "townname".)

Eventually, I'll get around to posting the whole VLC playlist, but it's still early days on this project.

Here's the https://onlineradiobox.com/ trick...

Search for the station. If it's in there, right click on the play icon and select "inspect."

It should go to the code containing the URL.

Right click on the highlighted code, and choose "copy > outer HTML

I usually paste that entire mess into a text editor, and delete everything that doesn't look like the URL I need.

@cosmog There's a site called OnlineRadioBox that I found easy to crack. When I'm on my desktop, I'll write a little tutorial...

The ideal for me is a terrestrial radio station that has a stream. It's fun to hear regional accents, local ads, etc.

Second best is an online only stream. And I think I've now cracked the majority of those.

Worst is an iHeartRadio or Fox station that has their streaming url buried under a bunch of JavaScript -- or they want you to download their app. Not today, Satan!

Aha! I just figured out the naming convention for streaming audio that #MinorLeague #baseball uses for their only-on-at-game-time streams, and I'm plugging those URLs in, one by one, into a #VLC playlist so I don't have to stream through their website. Feeling pretty pleased with myself.

Not only that, but they have also moved 80, 000 National Health Insurance Fund Employees to open source alternatives replacing U.S owned Big Tech platforms like Microsoft Teams & Zoom.

It’s amazing to see the country take action, push for real digital sovereignty, & opt for open source solutions! πŸ‘
