<p>Lol well good luck with this<br>
I have been asking for this for well over a year</p>
<p>I don't know if anyone even reads this list man...<br>
Certainly nobody who has access to make the 5 - 10 minute change to the yp.xml feed is responding anyway</p>
<p>Best<br>

Hi all,<br><br>1. I recently noticed that yp.xml is still limited to 1,000 entries only while the web directory says there are over 21K streams. I remember some discussions regarding the bandwidth required to serve this file, so is it possible to get it in compressed format? Here are some figures:<br>
<br>- the yp.xml as served now (1K entries) is 343 KB. This means 21K entries will be around 7 MB.<br><br>- compressing yp.xml with gzip (default options on Linux, not even -9) gives a yp.xml.gz of 14 KB. This means 21K compressed entries will be less than 300 KB, or less than the current uncompressed 1K! gzip is fast enough to be used on-the-fly (bzip2 gives even smaller size, around 8 KB for 1K entries, but is an order of magnitude slower). If CPU usage is a concern, then to avoid on-the-fly compression, yp.xml can be compressed, say, once every minute, cached and served from the cache. <br>
<br>2. Also, I noticed at hat all 1K entries in yp.xml right now come from the same web site, <a href="http://radionomy.com" target="_blank">radionomy.com</a>. It claims ti has over 3K streams. However, there are some issues with their entries which make them nearly useless: <br>
<br>- all of their streams are listed with the "server_name" tag set to "Unspecified name". Having 3,000 stations named "Unspecified name" is not very useful. Every station at <a href="http://radionomy.com" target="_blank">radionomy.com</a> has a distinguished "name" which is actually part of the URL - could they send this actual name as "server_name"?<br>
<br>- all of their streams have the "genre" tag set to "various". Again, not very helpful; their web site says there are clearly different genres, about a dozen, and each station belongs to one; why cannot they send the proper genre name?<br>
<br>The only email I could find on their web site is <span><a href="mailto:faq@radionomy.com" target="_blank">faq@radionomy.com</a>, all other contact info is in the form </span>of web forms. <br>
<br>If I could be of help on any of these two topic, please, let me know. <br><br>With my best regards,<br><br>Assen Totin<br><br><br><br>
