web radio

[tsawyer]

I was playing with some of the option sources and was trying to connect to a web radio url. when I setup a connection for

https://www.internet-radio.com/servers/ ... d=1&t=.pls

it seems like the box is attempting to connect then nothing. I see 3 dots but nothing happens. if I put in the same url into vlc, connects fine. so my network config allows connections to web radio but I'm not getting it on the rune. I manually added the station and attempted to import the setting by going to /mnt/MPD/ and creating a file Webradio. so far neither allows the connection. is this the correct way to setup webradio?

Save the pls to your desktop or wherever and then open it in an editor and there you will find the actual uri needed for Rune.....

looking at your post, I did try it exactly as written. if I copy that exact string, open vlc and say stream from that link, error. if I strip off everything and use ip address and port to say stream, it works. when I put in the entire string into firefox as posted, it gave me a file to download/open with (I have vlc associated with the file extension) things work. again, stripping off everything but the ip address and port, the page shows SHOUTcast Server v2.5.5.733/posix(linux x64) and this info (at time of connection)

I thought there was another post asking about shoutcast, I'll have to do into that another time. purely from a few things and not a lot of digging it, my best guess a problem understanding shoutcase sources since the other web radio defaults play as soon as the page is rendered by a browser.
