Winamp stoped playing shoutcast... HELP!

[jwhalen]

I used to never have a problem listening to any shoutcast station. Then one day last week I uninstalled and then re-installed winamp, and NOW, whenever I click on a shoutcast station, a quick window opens (initiating the stream, I assume), winamp OPENS, but then does nothing! Is there something I am missing? I have re-installed winamp several times, just to be sure, but to no avail.

It is very frustrating, because I LOVED shoutcast feature and now it is gone!

I wish I had more details, but sadly, it is as simple as that: I click on stream, winamp opens, then PLOP. winamp just sits there staring at me.

HALP!

In Winamp...
Ctrl+P > Setup > checkmark the appropriate internet connection
Also, just to be sure
Ctrl+P > Setup > File types > select/highlight pls and m3u > checkmark "Register types on Winamp start" > close & restart Winamp

Sorry, I thought that I was in the Winamp 2 forum.

In Winamp...
Ctrl+P > Internet > select the appropriate internet connection
Also, just to be sure
Ctrl+P > System > Media > select/highlight pls, m3u and b4s > checkmark "Register types on Winamp start" > close & restart Winamp

Download and install the Winamp 3 update

hrm ok so heres a little more info...

like I said, I click on the shoutcast and winamp opens then does nothing.

BUT when I do PLAY/LOCATION and paste the URL (in my case http://www.sleepbot.com/ambience/cgi...cgi/listen.pls)

it works!

ooo kay so based on that... why wont clicking on a shortcut work, but doing PLAY/LOCATION will?

Ctrl+P > System > Playlist uncheck "Enqueue as default action"

If you are still having problems please post a reply with the information that I asked for.

[JonnyMac]

Control Panel > Internet Options > General tab > Temp Internet Files > click the "Delete Files" button

If you are using Netscape
In Netscape > Edit > Preferences > Advance > Cache > "Clear Disk Cache" button

Any luck? I am starting to run out of ideas.

You're Welcome! I wish that I thought of that solution before. It is a problem that I have not experienced (probably not yet) so it was not top most on my mind. Happy listening.

Good job, JonnyMac!
