failed attempt to play internet radio stream on softsqueeze
Last modified: 2019-01-25 11:58:01 UTC
I try to play a internet radio stream. All of the following links point to the same stream http://www.kplu.org/ram/kplu.ram http://kplu-sc.streamguys.com/listen.pls Nothing plays: I see this in the log: 2006-03-21 13:26:42.3293 Backtrace: frame 0: Slim::Utils::Strings::string (/usr/local/slimserver/HTML/Fishbone/songinfo.html line 128) frame 1: (eval) (/usr/local/slimserver/HTML/Fishbone/songinfo.html line 7) frame 2: Template::Document::__ANON__ (/usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/Template/Document.pm line 140) frame 3: (eval) (/usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/Template/Document.pm line 138) frame 4: Template::Document::process (/usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/Template/Context.pm line 346) frame 5: (eval) (/usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/Template/Context.pm line 320) frame 6: Template::Context::process (/usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/Template/Service.pm line 97) frame 7: (eval) (/usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/Template/Service.pm line 94) frame 8: Template::Service::process (/usr/local/slimserver/CPAN/Template.pm line 76) frame 9: Template::process (/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 1692) frame 10: Slim::Web::HTTP::_generateContentFromFile (/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 1652) frame 11: Slim::Web::HTTP::filltemplatefile (/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Web/Pages.pm line 1031) frame 12: Slim::Web::Pages::songInfo (/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 770) frame 13: Slim::Web::HTTP::generateHTTPResponse (/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 679) frame 14: Slim::Web::HTTP::processURL (/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Web/HTTP.pm line 540) frame 15: Slim::Web::HTTP::processHTTP (/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Networking/Select.pm line 111) frame 16: Slim::Networking::Select::select (/usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl line 666) frame 17: main::idleStreams (/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Player/Protocols/HTTP.pm line 318) frame 18: Slim::Player::Protocols::HTTP::content (/usr/local/slimserver/Plugins/MusicMagic/Plugin.pm line 244) frame 19: Plugins::MusicMagic::Plugin::isMusicLibraryFileChanged (/usr/local/slimserver/Plugins/MusicMagic/Plugin.pm line 302) frame 20: Plugins::MusicMagic::Plugin::checker (/usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Utils/Timers.pm line 105) frame 21: Slim::Utils::Timers::checkTimers (/usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl line 639) frame 22: main::idle (/usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl line 570) frame 23: main::main (/usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl line 1226) 2006-03-21 13:26:42.3296 Undefined string: RTSPPL requested language: EN failsafe language: EN
Here's yet another link (via Shoutcast) to the same stream that doesn't work: http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=682462&filename=playlist.pls
.ram would indicate real audio. Slimserver cannot play real audio without the addition of AlienBBC. Have you installed that? If so, please mention this problem in the third party plugins forum so that the AlienBBC group can help you.
Yes, AlienBBC is installed as well and works fine (other than with this stream) HOWEVER, Please Note: This station is also listed using the Shoutcast capability in Slimdevices (under Jazz, KPLU.org World Class Jazz 32 -- near the top of the Jazz list). It does not play via Shoutcast -- however, other stations do.
The real audio handling is still under the umbrella of AlienBBC, and the string should be added there. I checked with recent version and it is cearly missing from Plugins/Alien/Plugin.pm. Please bring this up in the Third Party Plugins forum so that they can add it to a future release. They are also more capable of helping you diagnose the issue with a real audio stream. thanks.

(In reply to comment #5) > Posted to Thrid Party Plugins: > http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=96323#post96323 I have just tried all 3 url's mentioned in this bug with AlienBBC v1.01 and they all play ok. Could you try the latest version.
Ok, I've installed Alien v1.01, and that's allowing the aforementioned station to now play on my Squeezebox units, but not on SoftSqueeze (not for any URL including the Shoutcast links). Thanks for the help. I'm changing the bug to reflect a Softsqueeze issue now.

Any clues as to why Softsqueeze doesn't play this stream? *Bradley
That log doesn't seem to show anythign obvious. In fact, looks like it would eventually start sometime after the log stops. Does the log just keep reporting that same info? Richard, any thoughts here?
I just tested this - and the .pls stream plays fine on a SB3, but not on SoftSqueeze
