So… in laws had an issue with their web radio “not connecting to the net”. WiFi was always spotty in that location but now it stopped completely.
Turns out that thing retrieves a channel list from grundig dot vtuner dot com and while the general vtuner website still works the server for #grundig does time out.
Apparently the model in question is no longer supported as well. Didn’t dig further. In laws decided to buy a newer model.
In other words: Repeating the same mistake again. Cloud 💩
@bekopharm Could possibly have set up a self-hosted ycast service? https://github.com/milaq/YCast

@bekopharm It’s exactly what capitalist e-waste producers love and us DIYers hate
@solarisfire possible. chances are it keeps working when redirecting to any other of the partners on that portal website. No idea. I won’t waste any energy on this. Can’t win em all.
@solarisfire haha yeah, that domain is mentioned there. Guess my theory was correct 👍
@freakinbox yes. Can probably be avoided in this case. @solarisfire pointed me to https://github.com/milaq/YCast which also lists that domain in question.
