Post subject:  MythMusic patch to allow shoutcast streams
I found a howto for a patch to mythmusic which allows for shoutcast streams to be played natively. (scroll down to the bottom of the page)
http://cmisip.home.insightbb.com/mythtv.htm

The problem is that I cannot seem to figure out where they want me to extract the tar.

Has anyone done this, or have any ideas after looking at it?

Thanks in advance.

i have installed it, but have yet to figure out how to actually use it. The interface leaves quite a bit to desire at first glance. I am not against learning to use it, but I never do seem to be able to connect to a stream.

Maybe a short How-To?

Thanks

This is the howto that I used to install it.

I have tried to put shoutcast URLs into the playlist, but they will never connect. Is there a sample shoutcast url that you have used which works currently?

I have mythstream installed and I can get shoutcast to work. If you are trying to enter in the ....pls url it will not work. I am using linux, so I don't know where windows stores the playlist file. In linux it is in /tmp/shoutcast-playlist.pls (or similar). Edit this file and you will see some IP addresses. You may have to try a couple to pick up the correct online server.
You can test before you plugin by opening a terminal and mplayer http://the.ip.address:80/ashown/inplsfile.
If it starts to cahe and/or play then you can plug that into mythstream. My guess is that they use 1 or more servers at a time, and most likely at some point that server will change so you may need to change this too but I am not sure.

I just tried it with http://64.236.34.196:80/stream/1040 which works on my PC, but not through myth.

I am currently trying to install RealAudio so i can try a RAM stream.

Any ideas why shoutcast streams would not be working?

So now i realized that i have a slightly different problem. Now i can play the shoutcast stream from the command prompt, but it still does not play from the gui...

any ideas on this side of the problem?

From the command prompts I can run:
Code:
mplayer -cache 256 http://64.236.34.196:80/stream/1040


This works without fail every time.

Through the mythstream interface, i have added this URL to the playlist. I then go to the player interface, and it never will play. It looks like it is trying to buffer for a second, but then it switches over to harvest mode then says that there are no url's found.

Any ideas?

I have exactly the same problem as the above poster. I can play streams perfectly on the command line, but not through the Mythstream GUI.

Did anyone figure out an answer to this problem?

yeah I'd be another one. Mplayer with the url as listed above works, but not through the gui. Always comes up "no stream"

Anyone with any ideas??

did you mean the libxml-dom-perl module?

when i try apt-get install libxml-dom-perl:
Code:
# apt-get install libxml-dom-perl
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  libxml-dom-perl: Depends: libxml-perl but it is not going to be installed
                   Depends: libxml-regexp-perl but it is not going to be installed
  mplayer-k7: Depends: mplayer-k6 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).


anybody knows what to do? :oops:
