API Error - Primary Genre (R&B/Urban)

Sourcetunes · 2nd January 2012, 18:56

I am having a problem getting the list of stations for R&B/Urban using the Shoutcast API. I have tried all of the following URL request with no luck. All the other genres work fine.

Not URL Encoded
http://api.shoutcast.com/legacy/genresearch?k=[My ID]&genre=R&B/Urban&limit=50

URL Encoded & only
http://api.shoutcast.com/legacy/genresearch?k=[My ID]&genre=R%26B/Urban&limit=50

URL Encoded & and /
http://api.shoutcast.com/legacy/genresearch?k=[My ID]&genre=R%26B%2FUrban&limit=50

Even tried encoding entire URL string with no luck, anyone else having this problem, what am I doing wrong?

you're not doing anything wrong i believe, it's more of an issue with the genre being 'R&B/Urban' and there are intentions of getting that (and some other genres) changed to be more compatible (though requires a number of things to be changed as well for the DNAS / YP side to ensure it doesn't cause all of the stations to end up in the 'Misc' genre). i cannot give an eta other than hopefully soon...
