#47965 — No sound from online radio

From	Monsieur <Monsieur@notreal.invalid>
Date	2026-07-13 19:45 +0200
Subject	No sound from online radio
Message-ID	<113386s$1rus$1@solani.org>

I can no longer hear anything on this site since their recent makeover:

https://sectorradio.com/

Did I break something? Did they break something? Is it just me, my 
settings, my browser, my hardware? Could it be my soundcard? I tried it 
in Librewolf, Waterfox and Opera but I get only silence.

Other online radio stations seem to work fine.

Thanks for checking.

"Cipher mismatch. Some problem with SSL/TLS."

Try an SSLLABs evaluation of the web site.
It does not appear to be part of the "HTTPS Everywhere" campaign :-)

    https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=sectorradio.com

When I used

   http://sectorradio.com/

it seems it might be a russian site, I punched the "NO" button presumably for
Norwegian, and I got some classical music in the speakers. I was using FLAC format.

Yes, it works.

Could that be the reason why it doesn't work? Seems strange that they 
haven't fixed it yet...

Yes, the old http site still works, but about a month ago they switched 
to https and no matter what I try I cannot get any sound out of it.

No, NO is for Nota...

The stations are PRogressive, SPace, Nota, JAzz, GEny 80s, NExt 90s, 
INdigo 00s, ZED 10s, and TErra...:-)

Thanks for checking. I'll continue to use the http version for the time 
being.

Their https site is malconfigured and I can't even get to it. It's using 
an unknown protocol.

One would think that, after a month, they had already figured out there 
was something wrong. But apparently not. Maybe next year. :-)

I booted a live LM 22.3.

That link took *forever* to come up.  When it finally arrived, I used my 
console for curl and wget to see if there were hiccups that caused the 
delay, but they popped up just fine.

Then, the index page was in some foreign font, likely cyrillic, as the 
IP is .ru.

I don't know how to navigate the .ru page to find some sound.

Then I used google translate to help me; which ALSO took forever to come 
up, which was still in .ru or cyrillic or whatever.

So far I haven't advanced to an opportunity to get sound.

In Firefox/Librewolf you can just click the translate symbol to the 
right in the address bar and translate the whole site to the language of 
your choice. Works fine here.

Normally you just have to click the large Play button and it should 
start playing. You can switch stations with the two-letter buttons.

I see that big icon, and a mute/unmute function; but so far I haven't 
gotten any sound. Personally I think there is some deficiency w/ the 
site, in spite of the fact that some have gotten sound.

In what would seem to be play mode according to the appearance of an 
icon which has a stop and go function, the 'slider' which should 
represent the progress of the playing doesn't move for me.

Have you checked the "Enable fullpage translations" in the Settings?

Only on the http version it seems.

That's not a progress bar but a volume slider, you can change the volume 
of the silence that's being played. :-)

The network configuration, is intended to cause "https everywhere" behavior
to revert to an http-only session. However, I don't know if browser
design is supposed to automatically switch back to http, if https
negotiation fails.

This looks like an implementation decision and not a "mistake" or "accident".
Nobody is going to fix that, because that is their intent.

Works for me with Brave 1.48 and Ubuntu 26.04 if I specify http.

Also, check your proxy settings afterwards.

It's possible the site did something to change the proxy setting.

Can they do that?? My proxy in the network settings is still on "None" 
so I guess that's okay?

I've NEVER had my browser changed by anything, except for this site...

If you don't check it, you will soon discover that visits to
other normal sites are broken. Until you flip your proxy setting back
to None. I normally set Proxy to None, for any cases where I am
reviewing settings. I have more browsers, than I have time to configure
them. But any time I am in that section of the software, I would
be setting that one to None. I don't think, even back when I was
working, that an occasion required a proxy.

Interesting, thanks. Guess I'll go find another station and leave this 
one alone until they fix their stuff. Too bad because their choice of 
space and progressive music was quite good.
