In Control, Panel, go to Programs / Turn Windows features on or off.
This will create a local web server on the machine. Third, enable IIS (Microsoft’s ‘Internet Information Services’) in Windows.

In my router, I assigned 192.168.1.1-200 for DHCP, and then gave my PC the reserved address of 192.168.1.201, which ensures it always has that same address. If you leave it with IP being assigned by DHCP, its IP address could change anytime it is rebooted, and then your wi-fi radio won’t be able to find it for the presets. Second, I recommend you give the PC a reserved internal IP address in your router. This solution uses a Windows PC there may be a comparable solution using a Mac or a Linux box, but I’m not familiar with either of those.įirst, make sure the PC you are going to use is visible to other PC’s and devices on your local network (‘Network Discovery’ turned on, file sharing enabled, etc.). So what I have done is point my radio (a CCWiFi) to a ‘web server’ on my local network instead. Internet radios do have the in-built ability to address and pull data from a webserver – that’s how they use the Reciva site in the first place.

So, after April 30th, you would lose any ability to change or update any of the presets. The sort-of good news is that if you have a station link stored in a preset on your Internet radio, the preset should continue to work after April 30th, until such time in the future as the station needs to change the link for their webstream.īecause, the other part of the bad news is that most Internet radios don’t have any way of directly inputting or modifying a webstream, or storing a webstream manually in a preset. He bad news is that Qualcom is shutting down the Reciva website on April 30th, and any Reciva-based Internet radios will no longer be able to tune stations from that aggregator after the shutdown. Ray’s Guide to setting up your own “Reciva” WiFi webserver Ray Robinson, one of the contributors who has been actively helping owners, has very kindly written up a tutorial for us here and I’m most grateful. Since this information is buried in such a deep comment thread, I wanted to give it better visibility and search-ability by creating a dedicated post on this topic.
There have been some very productive discussions about circumventing the Reciva aggregator before the announced closure on April 30, 2021. That article (at time of posting) has nearly 200 comments alone. The comments section of my original post about the Reciva closure became the default discussion group for Reciva device owners who were trying to sort out options to keep their devices functional.
