problem with stream from radio

Sorry for my english, I wanted to posted on my local forum but it have problem with server and doesn`t work

So on windows all channel this radio work good but on arch the main channel can`t running

I suppose it`s depend of my iptables setting, I did all setting by this how to http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sim … wall_HOWTO
from part " Setting up a single machine"

This is adress radio channel with I have problem http://87.118.100.10:7000, in audacious I have only info "prebuffering" and nothing else
vic can run this channel but stream is very dashed. It`s very strange because on windows all work good

I tryed cut iptables in rc.conf in sector daemon and reboot but it was similar

I sent this adress to my friend who use too arch and he had got the same problem

Do you have idea why i have this problem

Second time I`m sorry for my english but please help me

Re: problem with stream from radio

Your english  is much better than my american, so maybe we can communicate somehow.

I don't use iptables since I have a router handling that for me.

Trying http://87.118.100.10:7000/ with xmms, vlc, amarok and mplayer resulted in not much.     VLC did give very choppy playback, while xmms got in a buffering/prebuffering loop.

Using amarok  or mplayer to open http://87.118.100.10:7000/listen.pls resulted in good music.  Wish I could understand the lyrics but I could listen to it.

Opening http://87.118.100.10:7000 in firefox leads to a Shoutcast Admin control panel where the link Listen results in a playlist file.

It also tells me that they are stream aac sound, so, maybe the right plugin or a recompile after installing faad will make your chosen program work.

Good luck and have fun

Re: problem with stream from radio

yes you had right, in mplayer all run good but i can`t  understand,  mplayer show me "Selected audio codec: [faad] afm: faad (FAAD AAC (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Audio) decoder)" and when I searched plugins in audacious i found "MP4 Audio Plugin  /usr/lib/audacious/input/libaac.so " it isn`t the same? I tried too install faad but pacman show it is already install but audacius have problem as before with playing this channel

Check out this thread on the audacious forum:
http://boards.nenolod.net/viewtopic.php?t=259

Looks like the lead developer considers Shoutcast/aac streams broken and if someone can fix it they will accept the patch.

bummer...
