I'm finding MythStream extremely difficult to get working. I don't know whether it's me or the user interface but I still haven't had one successful stream yet. I took your advice and pasted some URLs from shoutcast.com into my streams.res file as follows: [item] Phills Radio Club 977 - 80s http://shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=1694&file=filename.pls [emptystring] [emptystring] [item] Phills Radio Club 977 - Top 40 http://shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=3281&file=filename.pls [emptystring] [emptystring] [item] Phills Radio Vocal Trance http://shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=1986&file=filename.pls [emptystring] [emptystring] When I go into MythStream I use right arrow to go to the tab called "Phills Radio", press Enter on one of the radio stations which then shows me a tab called "harvest" with a list of http URLs with IP addresses: http://64.236.34.4:80/stream/1040 http://64.236.34.67:80/stream/1040 http://64.236.34.97:80/stream/1040 http://64.236.34.196:80/stream/1040 http://205.188.234.66:8010 When I navigate to one of these and press Enter the top of the screen shows "no stream" in yellow writing and then "no data received" and then idle". Surely I must be doing something wrong here - it can't be this hard!?! If someone could please post their streams.res file, or even just an extract that they know works, that would be a big help.
