[waschtrommel]

Damn! Please fix the MP3-Key issue! Cannot work...

[xerano]

same here -.- ive payed for a key that not work -.-

[jaromanda]

gosh, beta software has an issue and all the numpty n00bs come out of the woodwork whining about five dollars .... sure, you can get a blow job from Eric Cartman for five dolla, but seriously ... lighten up

i.e. if beta software breaks a production environment ... STOP USING IT ... easy fix

[xerano]

posts is PLURAL ... I only made ONE

so that would be

"jaromanda shut up with your stupid post"

and, by convention, there should be a comma in there - I'll forgive the capital letter ...

so we end up with

"jaromanda, shut up with your stupid post"

and your first post should read

I've paid for a key that does not work

NOW it's stupid posts

P.S. reality check ...

1) it's FIVE dollars - less than a big mac
2) it's been a day or two since the problem was brought to light ... it's SATURDAY ... even coders have a life

Back to topic. Anyone who got MP3 running in beta6? Maybe faulty configuration causes the prob.

i dont think thats a config problem more a keygenerating problem maybe...

You could be right, acouple of hours ago Neil from the Shoutcast Dev Team basically confirmed that

There is apparently a problem with the key generation in the online store. Faisal is trying to sort it out. If you've purchased a key and it's not working, please let him know (SC_Faisal)

Hi Developers, you surely did hard work to bring out the new beta. People now want to get it running and get stuck with that key-mishap. Aren't there a handful of keys that work - just to get those urgently waiting freaks started (until we get the right keys)? Or maybe any workaround integrating another lame encoder? Best regards Waschtrommel

Just wait! It's weekend and they don't work on Saturday/Sunday, that's normal. If they tell you that they are working on it, they do! Just wait...

[octatone]

It hasn't been "a day", it's been three days. Accepting money for keys that don't work, is just wrong - and not immediately providing keys that do work makes you look incompetent.

[chuckeh]

They noticed the problem on February 26, so on Friday. As I told you before, they don't work on Saturday/Sunday. So it's still one half of a day that they were able to work on it.

And if you don't know the word "Beta"...Beta CAN mean that things won't work properly! You should know that before using it again.

Your money is not lost and they are working on it. So just wait and don't cry like a little kid...

Where would they get WORKING keys if the KEY GENERATOR is faulty?

I assume, in INTERNAL testing there was probably one of the following:

• a way to circumvent the necessity for a key - I doubt that exists in any public release, or if it does, they aren't going to tell you
• some sort of "master" key that was used - they wouldn't release that info

I highly doubt this beta was released without some sort of internal testing of the new "feature". It's just that something went wrong with the public release

as chuckeh said, the issue of the key generator was disclosed at approximately 10AM 26th February (GMT) - now, I don't know where the dev member(s) responsible for the key generator are located, however, at most, they had only a single day (excluding weekends) so far to fix this issue

Patience is a virtue

you need to get out more ... the changes in beta 6 to beta 5 although important are not really going to stop your station/project from working.

Yes I agree but of a PITA but let's face it ... a weekend of doing something else but sitting in front of your PC would not kill you ...

I bought the key and not works for me too...

When was free, it´s work... Now, paid, and not work! Freak.

Waiting for patch...
