Streams Skip

arjoel · 11th December 2003, 21:19

Hey i'm having a problem with streaming Shoutcast radio stations. This usually happens with the bigger name stations (radiostorm, DI, etc..). Its simply skipping and skipping and skipping conintuously. The streams that this does it on the titles when playing in Winamp are some number like "1040" or whatever. Anyone know how to fix this?

Try disabling title streaming.

Winamp
-> Ctrl+p
-> Plug-ins
-> Input
-> Nullsoft MPEG Audio Decoder
-> Configure
-> Streaming tab
-> Uncheck 'Enable SHOUTcast title support'.

Worked like a charm. Thanks. One other question though; There's no way other way to keep the titles?

What version of Winamp are you using?

arjoel · 11th December 2003, 22:25

Winamp beta 5.0
But It did the same thing with previous versions (2.90, 2.91. etc..) of winamp as well i just never got aroundt to asking.

MOst likely it's a problem with the UltraVox stations (the stations with titles like "1040").

DOes title streaming work fone for other stations such as mine?

Yeah it works for some of them, including yours.

It probably only does it on streams broadcasting on port 80. Are you behind a proxy or something that might be stripping out headers?
