No Connection ~ Winamp Radio

Darter02 · 18th November 2006, 16:49

I have searched through the forums but I have not been able to find this particular problem. Forgive me if I missed it somewhere and am reposting this.

When I go to the Winamp Community Radio page and hit the â€œclick to listenâ€ nothing happened. Winamp opens but all it says is â€œ1. shoutcast-playlist[1]â€ and no music plays. This only happens on my home PC which is Win XP, fully updated. Iâ€™ve no ZoneAlarm Pro anymore as I now have the Norton full protection running and they were incompatible. I have been having this problem for a long time but am now wanting to fix it.

I tried a complete un-install/re-install of Winamp but no loveâ€¦

Can anyone help me?

Try clearing Internet Explorer's Cache
(In IE) Tools > Internet Options > Delete Files > OK

Darter02 · 18th November 2006, 19:36

Thanks for the idea, I tried that but no dice. It still will not play. Again, thanks for the try.

A couple of general tips for attaching.

Only certain extensions are supported, easiest all round fix is to zip anything you attach first.
Also, using the Preview button before Submit seems to clear the attach field.

Let's see if this works...

Darter02 · 21st November 2006, 13:44

Still no love...

I could not find any "red flags" in your HjT log.

Does Norton Full Protection include a firewall (apparently so by the name)? If so, is it configured to allow Winamp proper/full access?

Hi

Alas, you've got a worm. So let's get rid of that first...

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Microsoft Update Machine] xvshost.exe

http://www.castlecops.com/startuplist-5365.html

Close all browser, email, explorer, etc windows

Right click the Taskbar, and select 'Task Manager' (or: Ctrl+Alt+Del)
Processes tab: Scroll down the list of running processes
Hi-lite xvshost.exe
Click "End process"

Close & reopen Task Manager
Confirm that xvshost.exe is no longer running.

Run HijackThis again, and click 'Do a system scan only'

In the scan results, place a checkmark next to that one entry ONLY
and click "Fix checked".

Use Windows Explorer to locate and delete C:\Windows\system32\xvshost.exe

(hi-lite xvshost.exe, use shift+delete key to bypass Recycle Bin)

If you can't find it, make sure you can view hidden & system files first via:
Control Panel > Folder Options > View tab.

If it won't let you delete it, use Killbox to delete xvshost.exe on next reboot.

Reboot

Empty Internet Cache again, and delete all Temp files.
(you can use a free app like CCleaner to do this if you wish)

Go to: Winamp > Prefs > File Types
Make sure PLS is selected in the list

Go to: Windows Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types tab
Scroll down for & hi-lite PLS, click Advanced
Make sure the default Action is "Play in Winamp" and that the commandline for it (via Edit) is:

"C:\Program Files\Winamp\winamp.exe" "%1"

(assuming Winamp is installed in the default location, otherwise make sure the path is correct)

_____________________________________________________________

If the problem persists, please tell us more about what you're doing exactly.

I'm not even sure what "Winamp Community Radio page" is.
Did you mean www.shoutcast.com ?

Are you visiting this page in your internet browser, and if so, then which browser are you using (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Netscape, Opera, other)?

Or did you mean when you go to:
Winamp > Media Library > Online Services > Shoutcast Radio?

Also include a List of Plugins in your reply (via my_plugins_list.txt)

JonnyMac · 21st November 2006, 15:13

Also, something (else) from the HjT log that should have caught my attention. If you temporarily disable DAP do still get the issue?

Darter02 · 22nd November 2006, 16:21

Ok, sorry for the delay in replyingâ€¦busy few days here.

There seems to be no problem with a firewall, Norton or otherwise.

Killed that worm! Thanks! I didnâ€™t see itâ€¦

Cleaned the PC using that Ccleaner. Cool program that.

Reinstalled Winamp. Checked those settings.

Disabled DAP as suggested.

Tried to listen to the music on the â€œCommunity Radioâ€ page: http://www.shoutcast.com/newwaradio.phtml

STILL no love!

Damnâ€¦

I can get it to play at work though but not at home. I just donâ€™t understand whyâ€¦

Please answer couple more of DJ's questions...
