Ahhhh a new problem,,

[Donald]

Well the problem of not being listed, and of Winamp
crashing seems to have gone away when I upgraded to the new
version, even tho I had heard that the new version was
unstable, however it's more stable on my
dual 500 celeron system than the older version.
Now for the new problem, people clicking on my web page
link, opens there player and they can listem to the music
however the link on shoutcast does not work.

here are the two links,

theirs.........

http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=335204&addr=206.117.136.4:8000&file=filename.pls

mine

http://206.117.136.4:8000/listen.pls

where does that filename.pls come from.?

[IBC-Radio.com]

Both links loaded up, and streamed just fine for me. Not sure what type of problem your having. Your station buffered & played from both of those links!

additional info

the problem seems to be isolated to those using Real Player.

Donald, I never noticed this before (probably because it hasn't caused any (significant)problems here), but I checked and this happens to every stream. I have tried looking for an answer in the shoutcast mailing list, but their whole lay-out is messed up tonight, so I can't read the messages. I did get some search-results though, so you may want to check it out yourself and see if you can get everything to display properly without showing half of the HTML-code. I think this link should work.

[edit}Hmm I found this in the Shoutcast FAQ:

L2. I'm having problems tuning in with RealPlayer
Answer: RealPlayer does not support the full gamut of SHOUTcast stations. For
optimal listening, download and install the Winamp audio player for Windows
(http://www.winamp.com) or one of the other recommended players listed in
the shoutcast.com online documentation.[/edit]

Unless you install a RealPlayer script to your website. A standard shoutcast link will not work for RealPlayer. They must have a true MP3 Player like WinAmp & UltaPlayer.

I have a script on my site that does work with RealPlayer.
