Thread: RR WebRadio - Proof of concept plugin (SOURCE TYPE)

interesting post gizmo. i never thought of playing webstreams with normal audio player because i changed from centrafuse and there is no way to play streams with stock audio player... but my personal advantage of this plugin is, that i have an own webradio button on homescreen. another one is, that the trackname doesn't show up correctly when starting some *.pls or *.m3u stream in audio player (like from di.fm). somehow it works with webradio plugin!

edit: had managed it to show trackname of streams global. now i'm 100% satisfied!

I guess if you're not using Winamp for the audio player, it would be useful, but I play webradio in WMP as well... haven't tried any of the other available RR audio configurations.

Mitch, can you post the docs/txt files for this plugin? My dev machine is down and I don't want to run the setup on my operational machine just to read the documentation.

this a a proof of concept custom source plugin
and the skin and the plugin is taylored for webradio

If your station is playlist like... Radio Plaa Plaa.m3u then you name image Radio Plaa Plaa.jpg.
If you use URL for example http://83.145.201.209:8000/ then you name your image WebRadio_83.145.201.209.8000

Thanks for your help

Thanks again for thease plugin i have only one problem i cant start a stream by double clicking on the list item. I lost that future failure when converting it to another skin. Any Idea?

Thanks for all your hard work mitchjs

i had the same issue mali_arkan. open the original skin file and have a look at the SC01 list in editor. you will see that the skin editor has stripped some commands away in your modified skin file. when i run my notebook, i can paste the exact part here if you can't find the differences.

skin editor is very old, and not directly maintained, could use someone to take that over
i almost never use it... cause its too far behind what rr can do
prob an easy update for SC customlist def

Thanks

nly one more question is there possible to record streams on windows 7

i requested this few days ago, but the only way is to use bassRR as player. using winamp, there is no way to record streams until now. at least you can embed an app that will do this...

No, not true.

Really?

Stream ripper has been out for years, and I been using it for years, I just recorded a show last night.

Sure, if someone could just add a record/ripping button to every skin out there, to use with stream ripper,..... this would just be dandy!

The record button is way to small on the stream ripper player to use. Not a option when driving.

Stream ripper automatically starts up in the background, which you don't see anyway, endless you minimize RR.

Dude, I been using winamp and recording streams for years with no problems at all. Did you see this? ----> including a button for record

Hope this helps?
