Hi, I'm trying to use Rygel both for hosting my media and for playing it
(i.e. "jukebox" model). I have remote control (AndroMote) over local mp3
files working, but I'm wondering how I can stream a radio station from the
Internet?
Such streams doesn't exist on my local filesystem, so Rygel the MediaServer
wouldn't know to list it for AndroMote the Control Point, so nothing can
tell Rygel the MediaRenderer to play it. I have experimented with
Rythmbox's MediaServer-over-DBus plugin, but that doesn't seem to expose
Rythmbox's "radio" streams. (Hope I got my terminology straight; I'm new to
all this).
Thanks!

Rygel is not at all limited to local filesystem. It can handle any
URIs that gstreamer can read.

Can you elaborate with an example of how I can specify an arbitrary URI?
Thanks!

I don't know how you can specify through rhythmbox (you'll have to ask
rhythmbox devs) but if you are using the media-export plugin, you can
specify the URIs in the rygel.conf file (its in ~/.config if you run
rygel as normal user or /etc if you run it as root).
