For some reason something has inexplicably corrected itself and the YP entry is now showing a playable link and playlist. I am now able to listen fine with the IP:Port in Winamp and the player from the SHOUTcast directory listing.

You mentioned "the players on the Internet." Which did you try?


Did you try from a computer that's on the same internet connection as the DNAS is using? If so then it probably means that the current router you're using either doesn't allow or doesn't know how to perform local network loopback connections. A lot of routers are that way.

If you did not try it from a computer that's on the same internet connection as the DNAS then try again, the issue may have cleared up now.

OOOK.. I have a few systems on the network so I will try them and see if I can get the same good luck that you got. As you mentioned, sometimes there is a list and link, another time its blank but I cannot determine why this happens.

The router I have is OK because I have used this router with DNAS 1.9 before and it worked fine, unless there is now some kinda firmware issue.

When I mentioned players... I actually meant the player from shoutcast.. sorry!

I will make some connections in a minute and report back to you..

thanks!!!

If your router is configured for automatic firmware updates then the scenario is possible. I've seen automatic firmware update cause local network loopback functionality to be disabled. For some ass-hat reason it's considered by alot of knuckle-dragging Neanderthals a security risk (which has never been adequately explained to my satisfaction.)

I tried it on the systems on my network here, with no joy whatsoever. I will ask a few friends around the world to test it and see if they get the same success you got.

I will ask them to use the shoutcast player from the YP site. Will report back to you with the results..

be of good cheer
thanks

Unfortunately, the outside users cannot connect to the feed via Shoutcast either. I noticed that you were working with Joranado on the identical problem which I have.

I agree with him that it ought not to be a firewall problem because in my case, I have removed every shred of security just to make sure nothing is being blocked. So have no firewall installed software or hardware.

Unlike him I am using WINAMP because I think its the native product and hence it removes at least one source of doubt... but its the same as his.

Kinda lost at this point because I cannot think of what else can be done to make this work. I was thinking of using no-ip to get a "static" IP address to see if its a matter of the public address being changed too frequently by the ISP and making a mess of things. Does that make sense?

I think I will try that and report back.

Cheers

I think it's because the YP entry went back to being all farked up. Can you post your DNAS logs? It also seems your IP address has changed so I can't check your DNAS again, please post your new IP.

[EDIT /]
nvm, it's working again, testing now.

[EDIT /]
Ack, it died again just as I was about to test it.
