You can still turn off this setting on your playlist(s).

The playlists are at the moment not visible for others. This feature will come next year.

2 Streaming servers taken down

Unfortunately we had to take down 2 streaming servers. See our WIKI to see which streaming url we support.

Because we were busy fixing another streaming server and updating the webplayer on the website, we were not able to update the radio with the latest songs.

70+ New songs will be added tomorrow (15-Oct) @ 12pm CET

Regarding last week and next months

Last week there were some interruptions on the radio stations because we changed to a new ISP for faster connection. Most things are working now, but you can expect some small interruptions.

Regarding updates for the upcoming months, we are focussing more on the back-end of the radio's. So less new front-end features/visual changes will be released.

Our next focus is:

- to implement HTTPS support for our streams. No downtime is expected for this.
- to implement HTTPS encryption on de website. We expect that the website will be down for a short while.
- to increase the time you will be logged in.
 

We will try to add more new songs to DesiZone Radio frequently.

Thank you and enjoy! 🙏

Update regarding streaming issues

As some of you might have noticed, there were some streaming issues, and the website was also not available at all times since the beginning of this year.

These were related to our ISP and hardware which was not capable anymore to handle lots of traffic.

Most of the issues have been fixed by hardware replacement and by using new streaming options.

Some changes have been made which could have a huge impact on existing websites and mobile apps using our old stream which has been replaced:

DEPRECIATED STREAM: http://www.desizone.nl:8000/ (this stream redirects to http://stream.desizoneradio.com:8080/)

 

Available streams:

• http://source.desizoneradio.com/
• http://stream.desizoneradio.com:8080/

(applies to: DesiZone Radio, Desi Hits 2000s by DesiZone Radio & Nostalgic Bollywood 90s by DesiZone Radio)

Check our new twitter page for planned maintenance and other updates.

Planned Maintenance:

• 11th Feb 2021 @ 1.00 am CET (replacing ISP hardware)
• 12th Feb 2021 @ 1.00 am CET (Maintenance on http://stream.desizoneradio.com:8080/)

Introducing: Playlist Request System (v4.24)

 

Proud to introduce DesiZone’s Playlist Request System. (Only when signed in into your account)

 

After you created your playlist with songs, you can request this playlist to be played which eventually can be added directly to the queue (instead of the requestlist) only when the playlist has been approved by the DJ.

 

On your every playlist there will be a Playlist Request button, but there are some RULES:

 

• When you click the Playlist Request button, the DJ needs to approve before it can be played

 

• When approved,
  • you will receive an email
  • you can add the songs to the queue whenever you want
  • changes to the playlist is not allowed unless you cancel the request

 

• Playlist Request is limited to only once a day, for now1

 

• Only the first 3 songs can be played on your playlist, for now1

 

• Duplicate songs on your playlist will not be played

 

• When requested, the playlist will mark songs red if they are not eligible to play like:
  • Songs that are not in the first three positions
  • Songs that have been played recently

 

1: The daily limitation and amount of songs that you can request to be played is based on your personal level. Based on your choice of song requests, playlist requests, the DJ can raise your level. You will start at level 1.
