Mark Lanctot Wrote: I have also heard of people using 'Proxomitron' (http://www.proxomitron.info/) for this, but the program seems to be a web-filtering proxy, whatever that is. :-) That was me. For those interested, a proxy is a service that makes requests on behalf of a program (network client). For example, rather than having your browser make direct connections to websites, it instead makes requests to the proxy service, which itself then makes the requests on behalf of the client. This is useful in a variety of situations, ranging from security, access control, and caching commonly accessed content to reduce download traffic. Once your network client (eg. your web browser) is configured to connect to the Proxomitron proxy instead of via direct connection, Proxomitron acts as a middleman, and makes the web requests and passes the results to the client. The web-filtering capabilities in Proxomitron allow real-time injection / deletion of content. This allows users to customize what is ultimately presented to their browsers or passed to web servers. A common example is the removal of banner ads, blocking ad sites, or modifying styles sheets, all based on user-defined custom rules. The key aspect of Proxomitron that I indicated was its log capability. You can capture and see all the requests your browser makes to a web server, and all the replies sent back to the browser. This gives you a quick ability to view the ULRs oft-hidden within javascript, service-side cgi's, etc. You open the log just before connecting to the station, make the connection, and then just search the log for the streaming URLs. -- MrC MrC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=468 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21503 ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Theoretically the two playlist links they publish should work (can't test from at work): http://www.radio24.ch/webradio/stream_hi.asx (128kb) http://www.energyzueri.ch/energy.asx Pretty often radios only expose a browser window with an integrated media player. You'd then have to open the page's source code and search for anything like .asx. In the case of DRS3 you'll find http://asx.skypro.tv/asx/radio-drs/DRS3.asx embedded into the html code. -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Yes, apparently both Norton and ZoneAlarm leave components of themselves running even after you've disabled them. Usually you just have to disable and reboot to get rid of them, but disabling and uninstalling works too. I wish I knew how to fine streams for radio stations that are not on shoutcast now.

Re: [slim] Re: Radio Stopped
It sounds like this is purely a problem on my machine, and not some larger heres how you do it. I fear so. Unfortunately that sounds like I have some debugging to do. I had tried running in Safe mode (with networking), but then SlimServer wouldn't start up. Can you run the following command from a command prompt: telnet www.shoutcast.com 80 If you get a big black box, type get / (even if you can't see what you type). Do you get an answer? -- Michael --- Help translate SlimServer by using the SlimString Translation Helper (http://www.herger.net/slim/) ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Re: Radio Stopped
I don't believe I'm running a firewall. Don't you _believe_ or don't you _know_? Windows XP SP2 by default turns on the firewall (though this does imho not block outgoing traffic). iTunes is running on the same machine as slimserver. iTunes works fine accessing the internet and radio, but slimserver cannot access any internet radio.

I had turned off the XP firewall. I did have some other (Norton) antivirus/firewall software on here, but I had removed it earlier. No proxy, this is a home pc connected to a cable modem.

In the Web interface go to Server Settings, Network, where there is an entry for Radio Station Timeout.

The error you get from the Shoutcast plugin means that the plugin was unable to get the list from Shoutcast - mostly due to network errors. What's your setup?
