Can't select a live stream source
Hi I've re-posted this question as it was buried in another thread. I have been trying to get Raduga to connect to a remote live stream, but have failed so far. I can get Raduga to play a prerecorded MP3 file from a remote web site by specifying the full URL, but I cannot get it to play live streams. I have three sources of streams, and the problem is as follows: 1. Streaming software, using streams from two different streaming server programs: Broadwave (from NCH Software) or from No23live (from No23.de). In both cases, I specify the URL in the format http :// ip address:port / filename.mp3 Raduga will play the stream, but an error window pops up, with an OK button. This error cannot be cleared, and no other user interaction with Raduga is possible. Playing stops if the stream is terminated (by stopping the remote streaming server program), but the only way to resume interaction with Raduga is to kill it and restart Raduga. 2. From a physical streaming device: I have a Barix Instreamer (barix.com). In this case, the URL is http :// ip address:port / streamname - with no file extension (e.g. .mp3) on the end. In this case, Raduga won't even start to play it. I can play all three sources happliy using Windows Media Player, and the broadwave and Instreamer streams play using Winamp, so I'm assuming this is a problem with Raduga? I also saw KenW's suggestion to play the live stream with WMP (etc) and select the mixer channel in Raduga, but I cannot use this option as I use this for a live satellite feed connected to the PC's line-in, to opt in to an hourly news feed, and I need to go straight to the live stream immediately after the news. Thanks
