Streaming Radio - Does not load

[redgiant]

Hi, i searched all over these forums and scoured Google's results before doing this:

When i open my media library in Winamp5 and then attempt to add a radio station to the playlist or double click the radio station, nothing loads and winamp just sits there staring at me like nothing happened.

I cannot figure out what is causing the problem since it seemed like radio just stopped working one day.

I don't have a firewall, i do have norton antivirus. I've tried uninstalling Winamp and reinstalling it with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
~RG

Are you behind a proxy server?
Using a firewall?
Be sure Winamp has the right to access the internet (and the right ports for internet radio; 8000 - 9000 should suffice in most cases).

Does it work when you access the streams through www.shoutcast.com ?

It sounds like this:

though I thought that was fixed (not sure)

That link was exactly what was going on. Thanks...How did you find that thread? You must be some sort of forum god.

Oh, and when i access the stations directly from SHOUTCAST it works fine. i am not behind a proxy or firewall. What do you think it is?

Nah, just wandering around at the forums too often

[edit]
Well, that's explained in the thread I linked to. There seems to be a problem with the connection SHOUTcast <-> Media Library. Nothing you can do about that. Just have patience and hope it'll be fixed.
