Radio Disney streaming not working
« on: June 21, 2008, 06:22:13 pm »

I can't get the following to work:

http://wdig-radiodisneydotcom.wm.llnwd.net/wdig_radiodisneydotcom

It works ok in Windows Media Center.  Any thoughts?

Thanks.

It's working here.

Please try build 515 from the top of this board.

Spoke too soon.  Something is not working about this stream.  It worked earlier when I tried it.  But now it is not working.  It says loading, and it appears to start playing, but I get no sound.  Also, when I try to stop the stream when it is in this condition Media Center hangs for about 20-30 seconds.  I can always load it in windows media center.

It's working here.  Maybe the server isn't reliable.

I think it is something to do with my setup.  Why would it lock up my Media Center for 20-30 seconds sometimes while connecting and always while stopping? Why would it always work from Windows Media Center?  I just tried three times with MC and it failed, and then tried twice inbetween with Windows Media and it worked every time.  Anything I can check - is there a debug log or something?  Thanks.

Virus program?

Try it on another PC if you can.

OK, just tried this and it works fine every time.  So it is definitely something to do with my media server.  My server is a dedicated PC - AMD 64 2.4 GHz, 1GB RAM, 5 zones.  Nothing else really running on the machine.  Any thoughts on how I can diagnose this?  Obviously I want it working on the media server.  Thanks.

It works for me. Have you checked your Firewall settings? Could you have set program specific restrictions?

BTW, it is a 64 kbps stream and the quality is not very good. It has too much lossy encoding artifacts to my taste. Personally, I wouldn't bother to try to resolve the problem.

I used to get XM radio through Direct TV and it had this station.  I then switched to FIOS and don't have it anymore.  They only broadcast on AM in the NY area (if you can believe that).  It is not for me, it is for the three kids.  I have Norton antivirus running on this machine, but also on the other machines.  I will try disabling it.
