Thx 4 the response. Just to follow-up, the issue was that I had installed a router and was trying to listen to the station via a Wi-Fi connected laptop on that same router that the station was broadcasting from. Once I connected from a different location, it was fine. Please check out my new post when time permits.
Change in userid for logging into Shoutcast server
Hi,
I switched from DSP 2.2.3 to DSP 2.3.2 and now when I enter my userid in the DJ/userid field i I get illegal userid /password from the Shoutcast server!
My id and my pw did not change, it all worked great in 2.2.3. I know the format has changed by I have no clue what to enter now in order to log in.
Thanks for any suggestion.
and i have no idea what you're connecting to in order to advise what to set as in most cases, you don't need to have the 'DJ/User ID' field specified _unless_ you're connecting to sc_trans as a DJ or using a newer build of the v2 DNAS which accepts that field as a way to ident the stream _but_ is not required for the login to work.
I've recently installed plugin version 2.3.2 on my machine, running Winamp 5.623 (x86). I'm broadcasting to a local installation of ShoutCast (now sure about the version, but the current available).
All works fine until it wants to play certain mp3 files. At first I thought these files were corrupted, but I soon discovered it all were songs with the album art embedded. I don't even have to be connected to the ShoutCast server, WinAmp crashes as soon as it tries to connect to the server with one of these songs.
Easily reproduced (can provide MP3 if necessary) but so far I didn't have any luck in solving the issue.
install Winamp 5.63 or the 5.7 beta (that is better if you still get crashes with 5.63 so it can be debugged against the current code base). as 5.623 is an unsupported version.
One note though... I based my question on your first post where you state it should work with WinAmp 5.5 and higher. Might I suggest an edit on that note?
Note: This updated version of the plug-in will only work on Winamp 5.5 and higher and requires Windows 2000 and higher to work (though the plug-in has only been actively tested on Windows 2000 / XP / Window 7). Additionally, this is a 32-bit dll like Winamp though should run fine on a 64-bit version of Windows.
technically it is correct, it's more that there was a bug in 5.623 which is only exhibited when the artwork option is enabled in the Source DSP and adding in version specific hacks to control functionality causes more issues in the long run, hence allowing the plug-in to call the faulty code in Winamp and crash so it then causes an update (not ideal i know but crashes tend to see an update happen).
though is a fair point and is something to look into with the message and what's supported as a whole as with Windows 2000 support having been dropped from the 5.7 beta, i think we can end up moving the Source DSP to be used with v5.7+ so we're only on XP+ and i can remove most / all of the specific OS and pre-5.6/post-5.6 version checks that are in there now.
You say it only happens with the artwork option enabled? I had the same issue after switching this option off. As said before, only when Winamp tried to play a song with the artwork embedded in the file.
well you probably found a new bug in 5.623 then, but as it all works in 5.63 then it really doesn't matter too much now if it's fixed in the current Winamp release. since 5.623 is not supported as we only recommend using the current Winamp release (or beta if suggested to do so).
I kept getting a cipher response received notice when trying to connect for my first time.
I read forum posts for about 1 1/2 hours trying numerous things to try to resolve it. nothing worked. I was about to give up when I noticed a post saying to check if your server was online. I went into control panel and switched the server: On setting to Off then back to On. Bingo! I connected right away!
