Unfortunately, though, the URL you chose isn't broadcasting. This
happens sometimes--it seems some 'net radio stations don't like users
accessing their streams without using Microsoft Windows/Internet
Explorer/Windows Media Player (so they can force the user to download
ads), so they seem to switch up URL's/ports and it takes a while for
whomever posts the info to SHOUTcast to figure it out...
Note, also, if you chose a low-bitrate stream, since MPlayer has a large
cache (8MB by default), it may take a while for the stream to start
playing (up to a minute). If this is the case, MythStream won't tell
you that there's no stream--it will just sit there for a while saying
"buffering".
So, best bet is to try again and choose a different station/different
URL for the same station. BTW, to verify that the station isn't
broadcasting, you can use MPlayer and/or xmms (with xmms, I think you
have to use the GUI to select Play Location):
mplayer http://64.236.34.97:80/stream/1040
I'll try these things. In the meantime I tried the mplayer command and
got an error:
$ mplayer http://64.236.34.97:80/stream/1040
mplayer: symbol lookup error:
/usr/X11R6/lib/nvidia-graphics-1.0-7664/libXvMCNVIDIA_dynamic.so.1:
undefined symbol: _nv0019XvMCdynamic
Could this be why I can't get any streams to work? Everything else
seems to be working just fine and this is the 1st time I've seen any
mplayer errors.
That would definitely cause problems. MythStream simply passes the URL
off to MPlayer and MPlayer does the work. MythStream is an interface
for managing stream lists. So, once you fix MPlayer, it should work.
