Net radio with Arcade Music Box
« on: November 26, 2005, 03:43:54 pm »
Has anyone got AMB successfully working with Net Radio?  I've got my folder established for shortcuts, and downloaded a few PLS and ASX files for my favorite web radio stations and dropped them in.  I can select the files from the AMB menu, and it tries to connect, but then always goes to "STOPPED the queue is empty"...  Was wondering if anyone had any idea what I might be doing wrong here.

As an example of the files I'm using, reference Radio Free Colorado here: http://www.loudcity.net/stations/RadioFreeColorado/default.htm - I've tried the PLS files listed for iTunes and WinAmp, and the ASX file listed for Windows Media Player, to no avail.  From http://www.digitallyimported.com/ - on Listen Now, any of the 96k MP3 stream PLS files.

Suggestions?

*.LNK short files is far now broken, and are fixed in the next version (all urls is a hidden "frame" on a Internet Explorer page).

The problem with both example urls (The last one have works, but it seen they changed to shortcast server):

Arcade Music Box do NOT support shoutcut server yet (sorry), it seen BASS.DLL do not support them, but I trying to found out, what it happens, so you can NOT play these files. If you have a url, that play that radio in a homepage, use that instead.

Im trying to se, what I can do to get them to work in a feature version of AMB.



The Lastest version dot not support  URLS, because this was broken, wich is now fixed.

Om looking on that problem now, and see, what I can do....

[EDIT]
All files seen now been played, but there are few bugs left.

Arcade Music Box do not try to convert url in the pls file anymore, and let it up to Microsoft Media Player (so this is needed to play all netradios, BASS can't connect) to doing that.

This seen to works a much better (but there are no check if a netradio is playing or not anymore, also if a url dosent exists).

I release a new version with this and some other fix soon.

Try now the new version v2.11.4 (download it from my homepage), that should fix these bugs with the example radios you gave me (make sure they works in Media Player, AMB use this).

thanks, have accepted your payment :-).

Danish netradio didden't use shoutcast, so they was worked (but something was messed up, when I upgraded BASS, that now support plugins)....

If you find bugs or somethings requests, just add it on my AMB thread.
