What is being checked
- info: RadioDNS lookup name10650.14de.1a0.fm.radiodns.org (frequency 106.50 MHz, PI 14DE, country code 1a0)
1. RadioDNS registration
- pass: Registered10650.14de.1a0.fm.radiodns.org points to the station's authoritative domain: rdns.iheart.com
2. Service discovery (SRV records)
- info: _radiospi._tcp.rdns.iheart.com: not published
- pass: _radioepg._tcp.rdns.iheart.com publishedpriority 10, weight 50, port 80 -> epg.iheart.com
- warn: Only the older _radioepg record is publishedWhat to do: Add _radiospi._tcp.rdns.iheart.com on port 443 as well, so receivers that use HTTPS can find the SI file.
- info: _radiovis._tcp: not publishedSlideshow/visuals (STOMP) - optional, only needed for a live slideshow service.
- info: _radiopush._tcp: not publishedSlideshow/visuals (Server-Sent Events) - optional, only needed for a live slideshow service.
- info: _radiovis-http._tcp: not publishedSlideshow/visuals (HTTP) - optional, only needed for a live slideshow service.
3. Service Information file (SI.xml)
- pass: HTTP endpoint http://epg.iheart.com/radiodns/spi/3.1/SI.xml answered64 ms, 1,408,477 bytes
- pass: Content type is application/xml
- warn: SI file has no caching headersWhat to do: Add Cache-Control: max-age (for example 86400 for 24 hours). Without it, receivers guess - and some ignore the content.
- warn: The file does not strictly follow the official SI schema (3.1)line 1: Element 'link', attribute 'role': The attribute 'role' is not allowed.
line 1: Element 'link', attribute 'role': The attribute 'role' is not allowed.
line 1: Element 'link', attribute 'role': The attribute 'role' is not allowed.

(1806 more not shown)What to do: Many receivers are forgiving, but strict ones may ignore a file that does not match the schema. RadioDNS's SI tool (si.radiodns.org) can rebuild a correct file.
