It doesn't show up in the menu anymore. The previous version was
working fine. Am I missing some crafty USE flag?
If you're using vlc 1.1.0 or above, you should have read
http://www.videolan.org/press/2010-1.html which informs about the
situation and why the VLC team had had to removed it.
Thanks, I can see why now. The page mentions icecast as an alternative
and the fact that this is available as an Addon for vlc, but can't find
anywhere how to add it on ...
I know nothing about vlc or icecast but I did google and find this.

It may help, it may not. Let's hope. ;-)
Thanks Dale, very kind of you to look into this for me. I actually want
to stream from (listen to internet radio), not stream to a server.
Previous versions of vlc had a Service Discovery option which would tune
in to shoutcast/icecast servers to list and listen to their streams.
This has now been removed. A really good feature was that you could
search for music of your liking by genre and different servers would
show up to allow you to connect and listen.
While diggin, I saw a list of servers and I think they were by genre.
Just go to google and type in icecast server and see what pops up.
Also, watch what google suggests as you type to. It may show a option
we aren't thinking about. May be just what you need.
Yes, google shows and plays shoutcast/icecast music via the browser. It is
just that I used to do that directly from within vlc. But now both vlc and
amarok dropped it due to AOL. :-(
I was talking about google as a search tool. I found this on Google:

Genre is on the left but it is a short list. No idea what you are
looking for tho. ;-)
