Hi,

I'm 100% unfamiliar with the Android remote, but from your post I can conclude that the "remote" actually sends HTTP commands to XBMC, which in turn does some things that normally would require a keyboard action.

The plug-in does not have any code to specifically interact with the HTTP server; I can only assume that XBCM should try to transparently handle this.

In any case, a debug log might shed some light on what is actually happening. Can you provide us one?

Hi!
The following are the links to the debug logs i recorded:

There are 2 types of entries that i see in Android remote - "directory" and direct channel link (i see Music icon)
The following log is when i attempted to play directory

I just installed the Icecast plug-in. But I get horrible lagging of the graphics, really jerky. The scrolling text of the channel right after I select to play it freezes for a second every other second. And the visualization screensaver is jumpy too.

Anyone know a fix for this? I'm using v10.1 for Windows. Everything else works fine, like when I play an MP3 and the screensaver starts, watch a movie, scrolling movie list, etc. It just seems it's something with XBMC itself.

Any chance of adding a favorites menu internal to the Icecast plugin? Using XBMC's favorites is not ideal.

Sorry, can someone tell me where/how to install this? A few posts back assen said it was available from the XBMC repo, but I had a look there and don't see it.

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-addon/plugin.audio.icecast-11.0.1-beta.zip

RE: [RELEASE] Icecast (Music Plugin) Addon - Free internet radio alternative to SHOUTcast - nascent - 2012-08-13

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?

Hi all,

Icecast radio plugin won't start anymore.

In the kodi.log file i can se errors that seem to be related to the following instruction: readRemoteXML response_size = urllib2.urlopen(HeadRequest(BASE_URL).
I've checked the BASE_URL = 'http://dir.xiph.org/yp.xml' in icecast_common.py addon and that url seems to works.

Just for info: the icecast.org website went down for a while but now is online.

Any suggestion to help me track down the issue?

Bye, Epg1
