Guest DAvenger Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Hello RadLight SHOUTcast DirectShow Source Filter has been released this evening This is the first beta release so it still may have some issues (see the homepage for more details) but the basic functionality should work just fine You can download the binary + sample application in Delphi + Delphi/C++ header files at http://developer.radlight.net While it might be more interesting for developers out there, at least you can be sure that SHOUTcast will be supported natively in the upcoming DVBViewer & RadLight 4 Any suggestions & ideas are welcome at RadLight Community Forums Hope you'll like it Quote Link to comment
crypto Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Great job. About the small startup glitch, I realized that the RadLight filter starts immediately playback. Other players need a while and start then. Maybe they do some kind of secondary buffering. Anyway, once started the filter plays flawlessly. Quote Link to comment
RadScorpion Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 The filter uses a 128KB buffer that must be filled up to 60% at startup before it actually starts playing. The thing is that the server seems to be sending data TOO FAST - data arrives faster than it is actually played and this makes the buffer overflow at startup..... but after a while everything works fine... ..strange Quote Link to comment
Guest DAvenger Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Hi Crypto Basically, everything depends on the level of feedback we get on this. If people like it, we will continue improving it (now), if not ... we will move on to something more interesting and finish the SHOUTcast stuff later (for RadLight 4) So stuff like custom buffer size and custom startup position etc. could be added if requested Support for our filter is already implemented in R4 ... just register the filter and click Open URL Quote Link to comment
Guest DAvenger Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Status update * New buffering and pre-buffering added (levels are customizable) * Should work fine on all stations now (ie. not only 44,1 KHz) * No more buffer overflow * Metadata parsing (this is really THE creepy part of SHOUTcast) Hopefully, we will see Icecast support soon Any chance to have this filter supported in DVB Portal?

Klausing Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 And how can i use it in DVBViewer? As plugin (plugin directory) or as filter (filter directory)? Or only standalone? Steffen Quote Link to comment
Guest DAvenger Posted June 21, 2003 Share Posted June 21, 2003 Register the filter (or put it into Filters directory). Then select "Open URL" from the main menu and enter server address + port Actually, DVBViewer just crashed on this :S Hmm, maybe Christian should look into this Quote Link to comment
Guest hackbart Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 i really really did not found any error inside the DVBViewer, because i simply use "->renderfile" for creating the graph. I also tested the latest filter and it worked for more than 500minutes while playing digitally imported Christian Quote Link to comment
Guest DAvenger Posted June 22, 2003 Share Posted June 22, 2003 Cool then Maybe it's just my Windows Quote Link to comment
Klausing Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 @Davanger: have you updated download in the Customer Area here in the Board to or only the radlight developer site? Steffen Quote Link to comment
Guest DAvenger Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Not yet. It's planned for today. I hope EDIT: Delayed once again. Anyway, Christian will have to change few things in order to make it work correctly in DVBViewer Quote Link to comment
