How do I set up DVBViewer to play internet radio streams such as shoutcast?? Preferably so I can use the OSD to start the streams!

 

Thanks beforehand

You have to build .murl files.

 

977 Hitz Channel.murl

[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://64.236.34.97:80/stream/1074
Description=.977 The Hitz Channel

and if you put a 977 Hitz Channel.jpg in the same folder it will be shown as icon.

 

Than add the folder in witch the *.murl files are to Options > Music VirtualPath.

 

Now you could open them via htpcHome > theMusik

 

Here you will find some examples.

I have tried this but can't get it to work. DVBViewer hangs, starts showing visaualizations but no sound or complain about a missing filter.

 

Do I need some kinde of special filter to recieve shoutcast??

[Tjod]

No i use a Router to and have no port forwarded.

 

Witch Filters are listed while such a stream is open (View>Filters> )?

Realtek HD output

 

MPA audio filter

[Tjod]

You need a MP3 Decoder

 

[accolon]

Yes it was some kind of filter mess..... I need to cleanup my filters i guess

 

Thanx

[Tjod]

No it is not possible.

Hi, thanks for this but how do I get the radio stations logo to be viewed?

[Tjod]

If the file name is 977 Hitz Channel.murl put the logo as Hitz Channel.jpg in the seam folder.

[remlap]

This is what I have it simply wont show a logo in Music Folder on HTPCHome

The .png image must be converted to JPEG (.jpg).

[remlap]

Nope still not working

[Tjod]

Here it works (3.9.4.0 and 3.9.4.110), you have to converted the images.

Renaming is not enough.

[remlap]

Nope still not working, maybe you can upload your jpg it simply wont work with mine

and if then how to... ?

If the question is stupid.. them pls forgive me..

 

If not possible, It could be a great funcktion thing to add.. and also streamning video from the web.

if possible at all of course..

You need a proper link for playback, in this special case you can open the stream inside the DVBViewer if you load the following url:

IMO it would be easier for you to use a site such as Reciva, Pure Lounge, Vtuner in a browser and set up VLC player to play m3u and wma files - you may also need to select vlc to open asf asx and m3u links in your browser options.
