playing flac file from an http url fails
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:25:21 UTC
select Internet Radio | Tune In URL enter an http url that points at a flac file, eg for testing I've been using: http://getz/music/test/skunk.flac no playing occurs, and this error appears in server.log [08-08-19 15:48:01.2122] Slim::Networking::IO::Select::select (250) Error: Select task failed: Can't locate object method "filename" via package "IO::String" at /usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Formats/FLAC.pm line 1179. the same url plays fine in xmms (I have done a little further digging, see here http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51251) thanks Matt
A proposed patch from the thread: # diff /usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Formats/FLAC.pm /usr/local/slimserver/Slim/Formats/FLAC.pm.orig 1179,1183d1178 < if (substr($url, 0, 4) eq "http") { < # http stream - don't bother < return (-1, undef); < } < Another new-streaming thing, Alan?
no, not really.
Can you provide a real (public) URL to test this with or is it only something that is a problem with your own server?
Alan, you should be able to use http://lickham.co.uk/slimdevices/tune.flac to test. thanks Matt
