Hey, Kurt!
The first thing I'd try is reloading the site.
If that doesn't work, do you have any kind of privacy-protection or ad-blocking plugins or extensions? Sometimes those can disable javascript (even though we have no trackers or ad content), which will stop our site from working normally.
Well, I tried the things suggested. Nothing worked. But a few days later everything started working fine.
I'm no longer able to listen from the website. The browser tells me that the certificate is expired (valid until 2021-01-14 10:24:02). Even reloading the page doesn't provide an updated certificate. Currently I can only listen to the stream using a media player, but there I can't choose the "my favourites" channel.
Please update the certificate soon.
Thanks in advance and stay healthy. Jonas
Just to say that I can not play RP either as of this morning.

When I click on the little "hamburger" on the upper left of the main page to access the features on the web site... the screen darkens like it's trying to do something. Then it just sits there and does nothing.
I can access everything by going through the "old website".
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Bill.
I've been running the same ad blocker for years with no issues. This issue just started yesterday.
I will try those suggestions and see what happens.

That still needs some tweaks. It used to be completely random, but that tended to repeat the same songs too often. We'll also get an option for adjusting the favorites range on the profile settings soon.

I've been listening to the Favorites channel lately.
Observations and questions: - Over the 19+ years of listening to RP I've rated 1266 songs at 7, 1095 at 8, 471 at 9, and 363 at 10. - It seems that the vast majority of songs played are rated at 7, like 99% of them. I'll see an occasional 8 played, but never a 9 or 10. - In what order are the songs played? How does the programming pick what is played? Is it totally random or does an algorithm decide? - Is there a way to set the Favorites channel to play songs rated at a certain level and above, similar to the app feature?
As always... Bill & Rebecca... Thanks for everything you do to keep this place running so well!
It's an interesting problem to make something that works well for users with different rating distributions. You could have it pick a random 10 every x number of tracks but someone who almost never rates anything 10 would hear them too many times and anyone who has a ton of 10s wouldn't hear them often enough. Probably better to do a weighted average so a random 10 is more likely to be played than a 9, 8, 7. But even then it wouldn't work as well for some people than others. I'd go for a modest increase in high ratings vs others and let people drop their ratings for songs they are sick of hearing.
Or you could just pick a random track of x and above and let people deal with it.
Or throw in a random low-rated track now and then, just to keep people on their toes.
As an aside, I think an unrated chanel would be a cool way to work through the RP catalog.
Like all RP listeners, we love them wings! Wings are made by us to fly!
Much prefer the more refined 1960 Cadillac fins.
No Sydney to Hobart yacht race this year because of the New South Wales covid outbreak so no one here is paying much attention to those boats
