Hi all, i want to listen to radio on the net ( www.live-radio.net )
But when i klick the link to listen to the radio Firefox asks what to do (to open or to download).
Is then a way?

well, choose open and choose your application. mplayer is a good guess.

since most of the radio stations I looked at by following your link use Windows Media Player (asx format) I googled "linux asx" and came up with this.

Havent tested it yet (all the radio stations I listen to have multiple formats for streaming) but it shoudl work. If not try ffmpg or any other linux programs that support asx format.

The link is ded.
I try'd gmplayer & totem, they can't read ASF or ASX.

wolf_99 · Post by **wolf_99** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 2:36 pm

O.K I don

Code: Select all

gmplayer -playlist http://www.live-radio.net/redirfeed.php3?Id=6918121

And if works. but I whant to klick on a link and it will play...

What are your firewall settings? Most of the problems I have with streaming internet radio are due to their use of non-standard ports.

You can use netstat to see what ports a radio station wants (i.e., which have un-ACK'd SYNs out). For instance:

Code: Select all

# netstat -natu
tcp        0      1 192.168.0.100:47326     213.194.133.51:8000     SYN_SENT

It's also possible that the radio station is down. The first two links I clicked on while testing that site did not work.

HTH,

you do have win32codecs installed/emerged?

wolf_99 · Post by **wolf_99** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 4:47 pm

I have a router, but i don't see how its related...
When i do the command it works. But when i klick on the link it dosn't.
Maybe its the Firefox?

DocReedSolomon · Post by **DocReedSolomon** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 4:58 pm

is mplayer (on the commandline) able to play the sound via the URL you give him?
if so:
did you emerge mplayerplug-in (this is for firefox).

OTOH: are none of them:
http://www.live-radio.net
working? or just a few ones? i noticed, this site is just a collection of plenty radio stations with different sound formats.

BTW: are you @ X86 or AMD64 ?
and what GUI? if KDE, i would recommend amarok! you are able to listen to most of your favourite statins via this one.

wolf_99 · Post by **wolf_99** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 5:17 pm

Code: Select all

emerge -av mplayerplug-in

[ebuild R ] net-www/mplayerplug-in-3.31-r1 USE="gtk quicktime -divx -gmedia -realmedia -wmp" 0 kB

The "mp3" works bot the "wmp" dosn't work.
Do i need to use the flags "realmedia & wmp"?

DocReedSolomon · Post by **DocReedSolomon** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 5:20 pm

yes sure!
put that to your USEflags, and re-emerge that stuff.
emerge -eDv --newuse world
you might want to use that in your other applications as well, i guess..

wolf_99 · Post by **wolf_99** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 5:30 pm

I remerged it.
Is it supposed to load on the browser or open the gmplayer?

otherwise your applications will *not* benefit from your new codecs.
i assume you have win32codecs installed and you are on x86?
you did not answer if you are on x86 or on amd64.

AFAIK you are able to configure this.
there is /etc/mplayer.conf
/etc/mplayerplug-in.conf

i myself do not use those, i am using konqueror as my mainbrowser.
OTOH, why asking? is it playing at all?

//edit: not gmplayer! this is the standalone GUI version of mplayer. call "mplayer", not "gmplayer".
if you call mplayer using gmplayer, it will not work *inside* the browser window.

Yes, i have win32codecs installed.

I don't want it *inside* the browser window. I want it as like i hear a song, standalone.

I use vlc to listen and record. The vlc website gives you all the use flags to employ. VLC does not play realaudio files, you will have to use mplayer or realplayer for those. Use the command line for mplayer and just enter the address (such as http://xxxxxx).

wolf_99 · Post by **wolf_99** » Mon Nov 13, 2006 10:33 pm

I don't need to record, i need to rear...
When i klick on a radio link it opens on the browser, i want it to open like Windows Media Player in (god forbid) Windows...
On the GUI interface.
Is ther somthing like that?
Or i have it, but not configerd right?

mplayerplug-in.conf, i already wrote that.

Code: Select all

noembed=1

might be a good candidate

O.K. don, shuld i remerge?
Or wat? cause it dosen't work...

no, there should be no need to re-emerge. hmm..

is mplayerplug-in actually used at all? or is something else calling mplayer?
if you type "about:plugins" in the ffox browser, do you see the mplayerplug-in enabled for the filetypes you play?

or maybe apart from /etc you have mplayer configurations in your $home directory? AFAIK those would have priority against that one in /etc.

and *what* does not work? the files are playing fine now, but are still embedded in the browser window - or do they not play at all?

wolf_99 · Post by **wolf_99** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 4:23 pm

video/x-ms-asf Media Files asf,asx,* Yes

and *what* does not work? the files are playing fine now, but are still embedded in the browser window - or do they not play at all?

it works in the browser window.

DocReedSolomon · Post by **DocReedSolomon** » Tue Nov 14, 2006 5:47 pm

well, i dont know then.
hmm.. could you give me an example URL to the playfile so that i could check myself here?

OTOH, you wouldnt need the browser @all, while i think about it? just a shortcut at your desktop would do, perhaps?

oh, btw.. what happens if you RightClick the link in question? are you able to choose "open with mplayer"?

uhm, you can not parse a phpfile to mplayer, thats why it segfaults. you need the streamfile address.

if i visit http://www.live-radio.net/redirfeed.php3?Id=6926172 i just get a blank page.
