Go to website where you can listen for a radio. In this example i will use chrome and https://truckers.fm/


Press F12 and go to "Network tab". Please note, that exact locations of buttons may be different in different browsers.


After that, hit play and wait a few seconds. You will see a continuous data stream shown by the longest line.


This is our audio stream. If there is no continuous data stream, then your best option is to find radio stream URL in google.

We need right click on it, and select copy link address.


To verify that link is working we can just paste it into browser. Is there a blank page with only music strem on it, than this is correct URL.

Let's say i want to add a BBC radio station. I cannot get URL using network traffic analysis tool. That's what i endded up getting.

You can see that there is a lot of small bits of information, and therefore there is no specific URL

After a quick google search i found this on a GitHub[gist.github.com]


As you can see, we got an URL, but it is a M3U8 file. That means that we will need to do few extra steps to make this work.
