How to play radio streams w/ Exaile and Banshee

what files are needed to play radio streams in Banshee or Exaile?
I read the wiki and I can't see what is needed.

I'm sorry, looks like the Banshee Wiki is disabled at the moment.

Arch wiki should cover everything Arch-specific and some other things *users find useful*. Arch specific means pacman, not Banshee. Do you know how do you write a wiki? You search for the relevant information and put it in there yourself, so that others could benefit. You've noticed that the wiki is lacking info about how to play radio streams in Banshee or Exaile. Great, go and find that info (read the FAQ on Banshee's site, google, read MLs) and be sure put a nice HOWTO into the Arch wiki when you find the answer.

Radio streams don't play in Exaile either. It does show that it's playing but no sound.
Doesn't anybody here use Exaile or Banshee?

I can play the streams going to radiocrazy.ch or somafm.com and then opening them with VLC.
Why would it play that way and not throught one of the other programs?

i know this proberly isnt any help but i use audacious for mp3 strams (thats the typical radio format)

works like a charm

Have you tried 'pacman -S gstreamer0.10-alsa'?

Installed it .... but still no sound even though it shows that it's working. Very strange.

Unmuted all the respective channels in 'alsamixer'?

vinoman2 · 2009-05-29 14:00:59

I did that... now I can't get any sound at all. Everything's unmuted. Whats wrong ?
At least yesterday I could get sound through VlC, now nothing!

I should have let it the way it was

... well I went back into the mixer and made some change and got the sound working with Streamtuner and xmms for radio streams. Maybe someone can come up with a fix for Exaile and Banshee.

Maybe you are missing some Python-related dependency, like python-feedparser or gstreamer0.10-python?

I installed those, but still no sound.

At least Streamtuner works. But it would be nice if the other players could work also.

Just a matter of order - could you perhaps rename the thread to include your player, you being quite specific about what you want to have?

OK, I'm off again
