Description Pariksheet Nanda 2008-03-20 04:29:28 UTC

Amarok is "impatient" in connecting to Shoutcast streams.
Many Shoutcast stations in the playlist must be clicked 2-3 times to connect.
The thread in the URL explains the problem in more detail.

Please guide as to what steps we may take before reporting the bug upstream.
Thank you.

No need to report at all. It's a known misbehaviour of shoutcast servers that xine cannot handle.
