Thanks for this new release however it does nothing to address these issues:

#2136
#2140
#2149

Which make the LCD Screen and, more importantly to me, web radio completely useless to me at the moment.

In addition to the web radio problems above, 20260819 also has problems with the Web Radio bookmark, edit and delete options - they all point to the same station art dialogue box.

Applied UPDATE branch as at 09:20 BST Aug 28th, still not possible to add web radio stations.

Thanks for looking into these problems. I have applied the latest UPDATE branch as at 10:10BST 29th Aug, and have the following further observations:

#2136 LCD Screen - now seems to be working correctly

#2140 Adding radio stations - now seems to be working correctly

#2149 Add Webradio Station Art - fails with 'No write permissions' when confirming image file to be added.

I think directory permissions are incorrect:

Add station art fails for BBC Radio 2 :

rAudio-Test:/srv/http/data/webradio  #  ls -la 'BBC Radio 2'
total 12
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Aug 29 10:06 .
drwxr-xr-x 11 http http 4096 Aug 29 10:11 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root root   61 Aug 29 10:06 data

Station art is available for preloaded stations (eg Radio Paradise - Mellow Mix):

rAudio-Test:/srv/http/data/webradio  #  ls -la 'Radio Paradise - Mellow Mix'
total 88
drwxr-xr-x  2 root root  4096 Aug 19 08:59 .

-rw-r--r--  1 root root    65 Aug 19 08:59 data
-rw-r--r--  1 http http 17584 Apr 30 05:57 thumb.jpg

#2159 - Add bookmark - fails with no error and bookmark not added. Directory '/srv/http/data/bookmarks' is empty.

Nearly there, thanks.

After the latest UPDATE branch was applied this afternoon (15:10 BST, Aug 29), the Library and Playlist pages are not being shown. Using 'journalctl -f' when switching from the Playback screen to the Library screen shows:

Aug 29 15:15:54 rAudio-Test nginx[409]: 2026/08/29 15:15:54 [error] 409#409: *33 FastCGI sent in stderr: "PHP message: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected identifier "UTF" in /srv/http/function.php on line 5" while reading response header from upstream, client: 192.168.86.118, server: localhost, request: "POST /playlist.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/run/php-fpm/php-fpm.sock:", host: "raudio-test", referrer: "http://raudio-test/

It seems that Line 2 of /srv/http/function.php currently has:

$hash = '?1787799850

I think it should be:

$hash = '?1787799850';

Making this change allows the Library / Playlist pages to be displayed. BUT the Web Radio icons for added radio stations are blank (except the pre-seeded Radio Paradise stations) and appear to be constantly flashing as if they are being refreshed all the time. Trying to add station art to non pre-seeded stations still has the write error noted above.

With the change above in place and again using 'journalctl -f' to investigate the following error is rrepeatedly shown:

Aug 29 15:37:45 rAudio-Test nginx[409]: 2026/08/29 15:37:45 [error] 409#409: *160 open() "/srv/http/data/webradio/BBC Radio 2 Direct/thumb.jpg" failed (2: No such file or directory), client: 192.168.86.118, server: localhost, request: "GET /%2Fdata%2Fwebradio%2FBBC%20Radio%202%20Direct%2Fthumb.jpg?1787799850 HTTP/1.1", host: "raudio-test", referrer: "http://raudio-test/"

Because, although I could dd BBC Radio 2 Direct as a station I could not add the necessary Station art referred to in the error message.

Applied UPDATE branch as at 07:55 Aug 30th.

Hash issue noted above now seems to be fixed

#2149 - I can now add Webradio Station art, so seems to be fixed

#2159 - I can add bookmark for Webradio stations but as per original poster of this issue I only see a Star not the station artwork. The coverart.* and thumb.* files are MISSING from the directory of the bookmarks:

rAudio-Test:~  #  ls -la /srv/http/data/bookmarks
total 16
drwxr-xr-x  2 http http 4096 Aug 30 07:58  .
drwxr-xr-x 12 http http 4096 May  9 12:48  ..

-rw-r--r--  1 root root   48 Aug 30 07:58 'Greatest Hits Radio'

rAudio-Test:~  #  ls -la /srv/http/data/bookmarks/'BBC Radio 2'
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51 Aug 30 07:57 '/srv/http/data/bookmarks/BBC Radio 2'

rAudio-Test:~  #  ls -la /srv/http/data/bookmarks/'Greatest Hits Radio'
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51 Aug 30 07:57 '/srv/http/data/bookmarks/Greatest Hits Radio'

New issue: on the Playback screen the Webradio Station artwork is not displayed, only the rAudio default artwork is shown. Works properly for pre-seeded Radio Paradise stations. When changing Webradio Stations (using Replace / Play) the following error (similar to #2160 ?) is seen (via 'journalctl -f'):

Thanks very much for your efforts, this seems to have taken some sorting out but may be we are nearly there ?

Thanks

Re: bookmark issue (#2159). Don't know why I didn't spot this before, but the bookmarks are being created as a file NOT a directory hence why no further images can be written to them, may be owner (root:root) needs checking too ?:

rAudio-Test:~ # ls -la /srv/http/data/bookmarks/'BBC Radio 2'
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 51 Aug 30 07:57 '/srv/http/data/bookmarks/BBC Radio 2'

Ok - part of a solution

It appears that when webstation artwork gets added the original image file gets added (converted if necessary) as a .jpg file. I generally use .PNG files and these definitely get saved as .JPG files. The seeded (Paradise*) station artwork get saved as 'cover.jpg' and 'thumb.jpg':

rAudio-Test:/srv/http/data/webradio  #  ls -la 'Radio Paradise - Global Mix'
total 104
drwxr-xr-x  2 http http  4096 Aug 19 08:59 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 http http  4096 Aug 30 08:21 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 http http 73010 Apr 30 05:57 cover.jpg
-rw-r--r--  1 http http    73 Aug 19 08:59 data
-rw-r--r--  1 http http 18437 Apr 30 05:57 thumb.jpg

However when adding artwork to our own stations it gets saved as:

rAudio-Test:/srv/http/data/webradio  #  ls -la 'Greatest Hits Radio'
total 32
drwxr-xr-x  2 http http 4096 Aug 30 07:56 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 http http 4096 Aug 30 08:21 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 http http 9534 Aug 30 07:56 coverart.jpg
-rw-r--r--  1 http http   58 Aug 29 10:07 data
-rw-r--r--  1 http http 5106 Aug 30 07:56 thumb.jpg

Note: 'coverart.jpg' not 'cover.jpg'. Renaming 'coverart.jpg' to 'cover.jpg' allows the artwork to be displayed on the Playback screen.

Doesn't answer the core dump or bookmarks issue though but perhaps give a point to their solutions ?

Discussion on #2159 has solved all of the issues noted here.

Thanks to everybody concerned.
