Noxon iRadio 300 Internet Radio server closed

[shybear]

hi,

I have this nice Internet Radio and until few days ago it worked properly.
It connect correctly into my local net and works with Pnp features but when I select Internet Radio option it give me a connection error.
I contacted Noxon support and they said that for security reason producer took offline server for these old models.
From menu there isn't a way to set the URL server where the radio pick the list of channels, but I think this info its stored in the BIOS.
Actually I don't have a backup of file BIOS but here there are still original files:
http://terratec.ultron.info/NOXON/NOXON_iRadio/Update/

On radio there is the firmware update option but if I make a manual check it says that the firmware is up to dated.
Version software is: ir-mmi-FS2026-0200-0143-V.2.1.11.EX13068-83.

Its really shame to trash a device that still works!
Any help would be appreciated a lot. Thanks

ps if it may help I can dismount radio a look for BIOS chip to make a backup copy of file!

did you install the version from the BETA folder?
it's newer and fixes some bugs

nope, the radio worked always fine so I really didn't care a lot about firmware and I just set to make automatic firmware update.

I try now and I'll let you know.

It seem that in this model its impossible to update BIOS via web interface.

In the link:
http://terratec.ultron.info/NOXON
there is a subfolder of all models also iRadio 300 but inside there are just PDF documents.
There is also Noxin iRadio subfolder where there are a lot of infos and also firmware updates and Bootloader so I supposed it was a folder for alls iRadio models but Noxon iRadio is a specific model.
I tried anyway all firmware manager but my model is not compatible with it and firmware update is just trough the radio menu.
There is also a webpage that manage Noxon devices:
http://www.radio567.com/setupapp/rad...Err=sp1&sAuth=
but if I enter the Mac of my radio it says is not correct.

There is this 3rd part software:

but I can't find anywhere the firmware of my model

Re: Noxon iRadio 300 Internet Radio server closed

i wonder if it's "normal" data and you just need to change the web / IP address to a different server??
a router may be able to redirect that!

i just found this on my GITHUB

Re: Noxon iRadio 300 Internet Radio server closed

I thought to replace target gateway to another within the Firmware and reflash. For this I guess u need window-enabler

Re: Noxon iRadio 300 Internet Radio server closed

what is "window-enabler"??
if you can flash the firmware then i think you may just need a hex editor

Re: Noxon iRadio 300 Internet Radio server closed

It takes time but you can flash a new firmware with the software they provide.
It is all online but you have to search for it, the correct path is http://terratec.ultron.info/NOXON/
I did it today for a NOXON Iradio 2 that was sitting from 2007 and it is back to life!

Hi All

Magnum, can you explain me how you flashed your radio firmware? I have an iRadio 300 but I can't find anything useful at the link you posted...

[SOLUTION 2023 and forever ]

Hi All, I have found way, how to use our dead Noxon iradio. It is not perfect, but it is better than having this radio like a furniture. I have iRadio 300. Here is how I am using it:

1. On pc, which is in the same local network as iradio, install X-DLNA, it is freeware.
2. Make sure your noxon is connected. If you are on wifi, you have to click "internetradio", it connects to wifi, but shows network error, but it is OK.
3. In X-DLNA click on webglobe:



4. Navigate to direct stream link like this one: http://s2-webradio.rockantenne.de/rockantenne or try other. Some radios you can find here: https://github.com/schreibfaul1/ESP3...Webstreams.txt
5. It plays automatically on PC, but you can stop it.
6. Click "Cast via" button:



7. Click on play.
8. Now It plays from iradio. You can now close X-Dlna, it will play forever, until you do not turn off radio.


OPTIONAL:

I am using bookmarks, so I have saved radio stations I am listening:




KNOWN ISSUES:

After some moments, device disconnects like this:



Then you just Click "Rescan". Point your mouse there, It appears.


ENJOY
