[RELEASE] Icecast (Music Plugin) Addon - Free internet radio alternative to SHOUTcast

Hi,

@cfg9000: that's a good idea, I'll look at it.

@canadave: for Dharma, it is in the official repo. For Eden Beta 1, it will shortly be.

Hi,

@cfg9000: an updated version with 2 new features, 'Recent Stations' and 'Favourites' will be coming soon - probably in 1-2 weeks, hopefully before Eden release. For the bald, here is a beta to try: http://bilbo.online.bg/~assen/icecast-ad...1-beta.zip

Hi,

An updated version is now in the official repo. It has 2 new features, 'Recent Stations' and 'Favourites'.

WWell,

Hi, when using icecast, I see nowhere near the number of stations I should be seeing.
I'm seeing 1 rock station, 1 'b' station, 1 dance station, 1 lounge station, 2 pop stations, 1 'r' station, 1 rock station, 1 'top' station, 2 top40 stations, 1 urban station, 2 'various' stations, and 1 world station.

However 90% of these stations are "I love radio", the same stream, and the rest are either abclounge, top100station, alpha fm, or wunschradio.fm

So I'm actually getting 5 stations. Is this right? is the addon still being updated, or is something wrong on my end?

@nascent, it seems this is a problem with the Icecast directory itself. VLC folks are having the same problem:

And this is the ticket at xiph:

Thank you arbrandes!
Direct quote for anyone interested:

Quote:I am in contact with the guys at the IceCast streaming directory.

The cause of what you all described is a temporary limitation of yp.xml (dev's should know) to list only 1000 entries at the moment.
They are migrating the icecast directory to a new infrastructure and soon that limit will be removed. Then all radio stations should appear again.

See https://trac.xiph.org/ticket/1890

So I guess we have to wait for the migration.

Will the ICECAST plugin work with the ARTIST SLIDE show viewer, or the LastFM slideshow viewer?
