Title: ShoutCast On MediaCenter
Post by: KingSparta on January 27, 2004, 09:21:28 am
I have Been Playing With Some Code To:

Download ShoutCast Streams and save them to a Mp3 that you can play as they are downloading And have it working.

was wondering if anyone would think this is useful?

you would need to know 2 things

IP Address And Port # of the stream.

Currently Playing On Media Center

Would be very (!) useful. Streams are in good quality and reliable today. And recording for private use is allowed (IHMO around the planet).

I'm down with that, King...

The DI entry I have now was done by finding the stream url and pasting it into MC>File>Open URL, then sending the resulting entry from Playing Now to a playlist. Any automation here would be useful. Are we on the same page?

well see I was playing with it today, Just to see if i could download the stream (and I could) to play it i had to open the mp3 file up in MC as the file was downloading.

I may play with it.

'Listen Now', then choose and click. That should be all to do.

That's a big negatory, Fex. All it does is open MC (if not) and brings it to the front when I click on the LN WinAmp 96k icon of any genre with B49. I have to use the procedure I listed above. It works for some folks...and not for others. Heart wrenchingly, I am one with the latter.

edit: I just noticed that my post count matches my year of birth...so should I refrain from new posts and simply modify old ones or speak thru others?..(in which case I'll need a surrogate). I'm afraid that continuing may have the same result as walking under a ladder or throwing salt over my shoulder. I already avoid cracks in pavement.

Maybe try to turn off your firewall.

In my case I have to give the permission to Norton Internet Security (which asks for a permission with MC).

Listening to: 'LIVE RIGHT NOW!! DJ MIKE HUNTER FROM GERMANY 27-JANUARY-04!!!' on Media Center 10...

So you and your mother had problems when you were younger and your trying to make up for it?

I think I'm OK now and can continue to post. I said my three "Hail Mary"(s) in quick succession while standing in front of a mirror, then went outside and walked under a gutter that was studded with large, dangerously sharp icicles. In a scene not reminicent of "The Omen"...none broke off.

King...
I've documented here a few times on how cruel my mother was in those days ... do a search on "mother" (set max age to 240)

Fex....
There is no antivirus / firewall / proxy under W2k here ... just NAT

You mean something like Ripcast (http://www.xoteck.com/ripcast/)?  I would love to have something like this available for MC, either built in or as a plugin.

I bought it.

Nice program, if you want to buy the CD it will also find the cd for you on Amazon.com
