Icecast - Dec 2004 - Compatible Players - Windows Media BAD trying to open...

hello, All,

I runa webradio on Icecast and Shoutcast also, but got
many compaints of listeners who tell me that they
can't listen to the broadcasts on Icecast, because,
SOMETIMES, although they already installed Winamp5,
when they click on the link, Windows Media player, or
Worst: PowerDVD is trying to open the ogg file. Any
tips ??

And I'd like to know if there's any Embedded player
code which could use on a website in order to play
Icecast. Common people don't like to have to download
things in order to listen to a station, when they can
hear many other using only Windows Media Player...

Is there any news concerning Windows Media to play ogg
Files ??

Thanks in advance,
Dihelson mendon?a

Dihelson,

Read my tutorial here:

I hope it helps! It does exactly what you ask, using Quicktime
embedded in a webpage. Our stream is MP3 rather than Ogg but the
process should be the same.

The only problem is that many people don't have the Ogg codec
installed in Quicktime... you'd need to tell them how to install the
qt ogg plugin from http://qtcomponents.sourceforge.net/

There is.  The filters that are under most active development, IIRC, have 
only had HTTP streaming added recently and this might not be available in 
the latest binary release, but I might be wrong on this.  Anyway, it does 
appear to be in SVN.

Releases: http://www.illiminable.com/ogg/
Source: http://svn.xiph.org/trunk/oggdsf/

Hello,
this plugin enables users to play static ogg file, but I've never been 
able to play a stream with it and iTunes or QT.
Do you managed to play ogg streams with it?

regards,
Chris
