Uh, looks like I didn't read closely enough to recognize the depth of the problem :-). Jack's instructions on making/using .m3u files will make the stream play in Winamp. To have it play in RealPlayer, use an identical file - but with a .ram extension. -bg > > The URL looks like this: http://www.RainbowRadio.com:8000/club.mp3 > > > > My goal is to instruct users as

Oh, the problems that RealPlayer causes run much deeper than this - and aren't solved quite that easily. The fix below *should* work, certainly - but it won't. Anyone experiencing conflicts after installing or updating Winamp or RealPlayer should read through the stuff in the support forum at www.winamp.com. > You should ook around in Realplayer's configuration setting. > The

You should ook around in Realplayer's configuration setting. The problem is probably that you as a user, installed Realplayer, and clicked yes every time without looking through what it was going to do. So now you need to manually remove the association of .m3u files to realplayer and make sure winamp opens them. It's possible you can do this from realplayer, but maybe that's been

Why m3u vs. pls?

Would like to use a Windows client with a line-in processor to feed an icecast server. Have tried Winamp, but could not get the plugin recommended in this forum to work. Looked at the Sonique site, and could not find plugins that would do line-in and server out. Any recommendataions?

Hi Stephan, I am talking about the meta-data: Artist - Song. It's weird because you are the second person on the list who doesn't get it working in Real... I just tried again with "BEK_dns" and "Radio Alcanzando Naciones" the 2 first MP3 radios I found in the stream directory and everything worked perfectly for Real (but not for WMP). In RealPlayer, I clicked

What is usually done is that you provide *both*. That's the only way to truly allow a choice. I certainly would never suggest using a .ram file only. But RealPlayer doesn't handle .m3u or .pls files properly (though it *will* claim that association & refuse to give it up) - so if you want to make your stream as accessable as possible, you need 2 links. -bg > Making it a .ram

Hi, I was just checking out icecast-2.2.0. You guys have done a great job yet again! I was interested in the range support / stream seeking on static files, since that would be a really useful feature for my clients. Range support / stream seeking seems to work with RealPlayer v10, but not with Winamp 5 or Windows Media Player 10. Does anyone else have this experience? Is there a way to make it

How does one set up Winamp as a source for Icecast. I've already figured out how to use the line input for Winamp's input, but I can't figure out which output plugin to use to feed the server. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Todd Merriman - Rainbow Radio Sound & Light +1 770 889 5897 8030 Pooles Mill Dr., Ball Ground, GA 30107

Hi, Thanks, that helps. What I really want however, is an MP3 stream that can play on a WI-FI mp3 player. I know the m3u streams, but they wont play. I can find the stream for the regular KING HD-1, but not for opera or evergreen.

It plays in neither Windows Media Player nor Real Player. On 8/22/2011 9:42 PM, Greg Ogonowski wrote: > These are HE-AAC streams.

Hi Everybody, It works with Peercast because Peercast receives the headers from Icecast2 and sends its own headers back to the client (Winamp, WMP, Real...). Remember that Peercast is a client AND a server... I guess Peercast doesn't send back the headers in the same way than Icecast2. Maybe Peercast doesn't use ICY/X-audiocast. Talking about Real (v9.0 and 10), I already got the

if you point most clients to an mp3 file the entire file must be downloaded before it can start playing. The .m3u and .pls files tell an mp3 client to start downloading and buffer the mp3 so that it can play it while it is downloading. The biggest issue with streaming this way is that if the file is encoded at a bitrate that is higher than can be downloaded by (or served to) the client due to

Making it a .ram file will ONLY allow it to be played in RealPlayer. RealPlayer will also play m3u's. The basic choice is: Do I let the user pick a player, or do I choose it for them? jack. --- >8 ----

Please pardon me if you have already seen this posting, but I received no postings from the list for a week....I assumed the list was down. I would like to batch re-encode MP3 files on the Icecast host. A command-line utility to take say a 56kbps MP3 file as input and produce a 20kbps MP3 file as out would be ideal. --------------------------------------------------------------- Todd Merriman -

Anyone conceive of any reason why I should have a stream that RealPlayer and iTunes have no problem with, but MP9 refuses to play: just sits there dumbly having loaded the .m3u that points to it, ignoring the play button?
