Alternatively you can just script the window media player control, and bind it to your stream, that should work just fine, assuming you have my directshow filters installed.

Doesn't work so well on Mozilla or anything other than IEWin... and I'm worried about using lots of extra software. Thanks for the suggestion tho. -Ian.

Hello, I'm using a flash player. First It didn't work with icecast 2. The blocking difference between icecast 1 and icecast 2 is that icecast 2 don't send the Content-Length header. So, I made a small PHP proxy and now Flash works very well with icecast 2. Other solution is to add this header in the icecast 2 source code and compile it, but I don't have time to test. My proxy.php file : <? Header("Content-Length: 54000000\n"); $fp=fopen("http://www.myradio.com:8000/mountpoint.mp3","r"); while(!feof($fp)) print($line=fread($fp,2000)); fclose($fp); ?>>From flash I call proxy.php instead of mountpoint.mp3Hope this help, Sincerly, -- Ika Selon Ian Andrew Bell <hello@ianbell.com>:> Doesn't work so well on Mozilla or anything other than IEWin... and I'm > worried about using lots of extra software. > > Thanks for the suggestion tho. > > -Ian. > > On 18-Oct-04, at 6:46 AM, illiminable wrote: > > > Alternatively you can just script the window media player control, and > > bind it to your stream, that should work just fine, assuming you have > > my directshow filters installed. > > > > Zen. > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael Smith" <msmith@xiph.org> > > To: "Ian Andrew Bell" <hello@ianbell.com>; "icecast" <icecast@xiph.org> > > Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 9:29 AM > > Subject: Re: [Icecast] ICECast in Flash / IEWin > > > > > >> On Sunday 17 October 2004 07:16, Ian Andrew Bell wrote: > >>> I'd like to resurrect this orphaned thread: > >>> > >>> http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/icecast/2003-December/006139.html > >>> > >>> We're using the embedded flash player for listeners of > >>> pulverradio.com > >>> and can't use 2.2 for relaying from our encoders.
