Well, it doesn't seem to accept a file reference, but I suspect it would work from a server on the same machine. Not sure how to play a file back through AppleScript; maybe someone else could help?

I have been reading shoutcasts site and they have a server shell for OSX but my understanding suffers greatly. I can't get it to recognize the .conf file

Frank,

Does this work from the server being on the same machine?

instead of http: what is the local reference to a file???


Thanks

Here is one way to do it via AppleScript:

tell application "iTunes"
        open location "http://a-server/a-file";
end tell


I checked it out in Script Editor; this works, and does *not* add the URL to any of the playlists.

That is the idea!!!

I am trying to figure out the ways that iTunes can do this. Since it does copying and cataloging along with playing it starts to get confusing. But the Radio side of iTunes works with Airport Express and it might be the solution.
If Rev can do the streaming and access the Radio side of iTunes then Rev can control the process over a Server (even locally).
Anyone familiar with the Radio side of iTunes? I am going to spend today looking into that part.


Thanks

Tom

iTunes can play QT streamed media, right? Could you somehow run the DVD or QT audio through a QT Streaming Server (or the open source Darwin Streaming Server) and use that to stream through iTunes to the Airport Express?

Just a thought.
