I think it's a limitation with the phone itself (Nokia e63). The phone supports Shoutcast streaming (basically if I pass it a .pls file or give it the URL it will play the stream) but it doesn't like Ampache (either the version in the repos or the stable version from the site). So looks like it's back to the drawing board. Rob -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

[ubuntu-uk] MP3 player with shoutcast and web remote control support
Hi folks, Not sure if anyone can help with this one... Basically my new phone has Wifi and it will play Shoutcast streams. Now although I can put music on the memory card, I'd rather not have a load of songs duplicated on my server and phone. What I would like to do though is to stream songs on my server using Shoutcast or Icecast to my phone. So I wondered if anyone knew of a terminal based MP3 player (maybe an MP3 player daemon) that can send it's output directly to a Shoutcast/Icecast streaming server and be controlled by a web page (I'm thinking either a page on Apache to send commands to the daemon, or a daemon with it's own built in web interface?). Just wondered if there was such a thing? I did find an application called SnackAmp which is TCL/TK based and works on Linux or Windows but it appears that it has a GUI interface and can't find the music, plus it needs a display to output to on Linux (which isn't much good on my server as I don't have X installed).

It sounds encouraging. The main reason I asked is that the resolution wasn't listed as available in the drop-down list in the nvidia-settings app. I wondered if that list was simply the native resolution of my current monitor (1900x1200) together with all standard resolutions below it -- rather than being a definitive list of supported res.
