[slim] AAC+ Internet Radio

2009-12-07 Thread spacedog

I have two Squeezebox v3 units wirelessly connected to a server running
Squeezebox Server v7.4.1.

I can't seem to figure out how to get an AAC+ internet radio stream to
work.  One of the streams in particular that I'm trying to setup is Jet
City Lounge Groovera
(opml.radiotime.com/Tune.ashx?id=s55144&formats=aac,mp3,wma,wmpro,wmvoice,wmvideo,ogg&partnerId=16[/url])
which is accessible via Internet Radio > Music > Electronic > Explore
Electronic > Chill > Stations menu options.

I used to have this working fine with my old install with 7.3, but now
that I've reformatted my server and installed 7.4.1, I can't seem to get
it working.  In the past, I used a plugin called AACPlus, but I can't
find this plugin anymore though, and my searches through the forums
haven't been successful.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  This is an excellent
radio station and I would really like to get it working again.

Thanks

Since 7.3.3 AAC and AAC+ support is part of standard SC/SBS for
supported platforms.  Support is provided with the faad application
supplied with SC/SBS which has some patches to handling streaming.

If you are not using a standard OS or perhaps using a 64bit kernel
Linux - then you will need to do some additional steps to get the
correct version of faad running.

What OS are you using for SBS ?

I did read that bit about AAC support being standard, but I didn't see
anything about AAC+.  I must have missed that.  I honestly don't really
understand the difference between the two, but regardless, I am unable
to get any of the groovera.com streams to work.

I am running a 32-bit version of Windows 7 ultimate.  I'll try
installing 7.4.1 on a Vista box when I get home tonight to see if it
works.

Are you able to to access the stream that I linked via your setup?  

Thanks

Did you make any changes to standard SBS that could have broken the
standard setting such as forcibly install the AACplus plugin or change
any conf file ?

No changes from the standard config.

I figured it out.  Instead of using that crazy opml.radiotime.whatever
link I just manually tuned to 'aac.jetcitylounge.groovera.com' and now
it works perfectly.  I found that url buried in the .asx file linked on
grooveras website.  Seems kind of odd that the url as per the Internet
Radio directly listing doesn't work, but I'm not going to bother trying
to figure out if it should've worked or not.

Anyway, thanks for the help.

I think there is a bug in SBS where if the URL in an ASX playlist is not
WMA - it causes the "unable to play" message. I've seen it with MP3 and
now it seems AAC+ as well.
