Bug 85396 – Upgrading XMMS from 1.2.10-r5 to 1.2.10-r13 breaks streaming

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Douglas Hitchcock 2005-03-15 12:27:20 UTC]

I use stream tuner to browse shoutcast streams.  i believe it saves the m3u file in tmp and then passes that to xmms command, xmms %m3ufile.  Using xmms-1.2.10-r5, double click on a station and it loads in xmms.   Using xmms-1.2.10-r13, it fails (it appears it's only showing three of the four numbers of the IP address).  Emerge =xmms-1.2.10-r5, works fine again.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge xmms and streamtuner
2.be sure the command line to listen to m3u file is "xmms %q"
3.double click shoutcast stream.
Actual Results:  
if using xmms 1.2.10-r5, stream loads and plays as expected.  if 1.2.10-r13,
stream fails to load, no error message given.  Display shows IP address with
only three numbers.

This also happens to me!

Not good!

Also of note is that you don't need streamtuner... just go to shoutcast.com and click on any stream... it works fine in r5, broken in r13.

I also got same problem.

It might be due to the changes in the m4s files

See also the Changelog:
  13 Mar 2005; Jeremy Huddleston <[e-mail]>
  xmms-1.2.10-r13.ebuild:
  Stable sparc, x86. Included more .m4s so it can work with older gettext
  versions properly.

And by remerging it I get these 'Warnings'

I assume you have USE=mad in your USE flags.

Please emerge xmms-mpg123 and use that.  xmms-mad doesn't support streaming.
