Shoutcast mp3 stream not playing right on recent builds
« on: September 19, 2007, 11:00:54 pm »

Let me know if I leave out any details you need.

I cannot seem to play an mp3 stream from a Shoutcast server (Version 1.9.8/win32).
I could last night, but then I upgraded to .318, and then subsequently .329.
Since then when I try to open the stream, firstly it does not get/display the track title/artist metadata anymore,
and the stream is extremely blippy and corrupt sounding.

I reinstalled with the earliest version I have on hand, which is somewhere in the 12.0.18x range, not sure, but it's old!
MC grabs metadata fine, and the stream sounds perfect.
...after that I tried .329 again, and we're back to no metadata and blippy/corrupt stream (although I can still hear the music).

The last version I *think* I was using before the upgrade last night was .308, or may have been a .28x.
Since there are no old version archives that I can gather from this forum or elsewhere, it's a bit hard to pinpoint the version that develops this problem.

Also note, VLC plays the stream perfectly in all cases.
I have rebooted after reinstalls (only way to get the shell context menu going again anyway).

Logging doesn't share any apparent errors, but if you would like logging/debug output anyway, let me know and I'll make it so.

Best regards,
Bryan

I did find a copy of .308, on rapidshare.
I would rather get a more pseudo-official copy from a different source, but this works, and so does the Shoutcast stream.
So something between .308 and .318 on my system breaks Shoutcast streams.

Is there a way to get real support from JRiver, or are paying customers stuck with this forum?

Hi Bryan,

There's a 12.0.308 version available at http://www.jriver.com/~gateley/bryan.exe
Give it a try and let me know.

If a problem isn't seen by a lot of people, it might take a couple of reminders for us. You can just bump it:
post a reply with the word bump, and we'll get to it. Sorry for missing it so long this time.

I did find a copy, and it does work.
I appreciate your reply however.

edit:
also, I did not explicitly "bump" this thread because 99% of boards on the internet hate that.
thanks for clarifying that rule here.

The copy I made was so you could have an official copy. What stream (what's the URL) are you having trouble with?

Sorry, I misinterpreted the reply.
Stream URL is <removed (private stream)>

I have the same problems stated above with streams of www.woed.fm

I just upgraded from MC 11 to MC 12 and i had no problems with that stream with MC 11.
I have a 100Mbit connection and the stream sounds like MC 12 has problems to buffer the stream correctly.

I tried Wave Out and Direct Out, with low and high buffer settings but no success.

This'll be fixed in an upcoming build. One of our new features was wrasslin with the shoutcase metadata code...

Thanks for finding and reporting it.

Glad I could help.
How can I find out which build this fix is incorporated into?

edit:
confishy: Could you please remove the URL pointing to the stream in your reply, as the stream is private and I don't wish for it to remain on the board.
I only had it here for troubleshooting purposes.

Thanks

Also, the PM system doesn't work. There's two captchas (should only be one?), and no matter how many times you do it right, either send/preview message buttons just refreshes the page with new captchas.

I took the URL out of confishy's post.

The PM system has been abused in the past by spammers, so it is locked down very tight, sorry.

For private info, we do use e-mail: just mention that you prefer the info to be private.

Thanks again...

Forgot... just check the most recent build on the forum, it has a history of what's been changed...
