Ok I have my station up and running.

I got to shoutcast and search for it. Its there and shows the song its currently playing.

1.) When you press play, does it attempt to play in your default media player or does it attempt to use the player from the site?

2.) Which station is it? It would help to be able to know which station it is to test it so that somebody could give you a more direct solution to your problem.

Definitive rock is the station.

And its using the web player.

I did a search for "Definitive rock" on the YP but I'm not seeing it. Does it go by a different name?

umm, u have to wait 15 min, it timed out for some reason. ill post when its back up. ty for trouble shooting.

I also upped the bitrate from 24 to 96. idk if that anything to do with it but lets see.

ok, that's incredibly odd.
My settings for tuning in to stations on the YP is to use my installed player (Winamp).

When I clicked on the YP link it gave me an empty playlist on Winamp. I opened the playlist file that was downloaded and the contents were as follows:

code:
[playlist]

numberofentries=0

Version=2

That's basically a valid playlist with no entries supplied by the YP.

Something is very wrong, I surmise, with your config/setup. Please post your full DNAS server confg file without passwords to see if the trouble can be located.

Also if you can, post the public IP and port for the server.

Someone's not paying attention to the fine print.

1) Listen2myradio is probably the site you're using
2) They do not cover royalties (just in case you were broadcasting music protected by copyright)
3) They do not allow launching except from their own website

"You may only use Platform and Stream via Company's website and shall not, by any manner, circumvent Platform's protection of stream"

- From http://www.listen2myradio.com/terms.php - See 2.5.7 (Radio Manager)

Free almost always has a price

Oh shoot, I just noticed, you're using listen2myradio[dot]com. You'll have to get help from the forums over there since they are the ones hosting the server or maybe from the forums for "virtual DJ". I'm guessing something somewhere along the way something is not being sent or sent incorrectly from the server to the YP. Good luck.

[/EDIT]
