Description Thomas Kahle (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-04-19 07:02:52 UTC
media-sound/shoutcast-search seems disfunctional.  Both in-tree versions don't ever return any results.  Since it is a screenscraper and shoutcast.com changes frequently this is expected.  There is a new upstream version at https://github.com/halhen/shoutcast-search
Please bump.
Comment 1 Chris Brannon (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-05-03 17:12:03 UTC
This program is broken because AOL changed the license terms on
the API that it was using.
So it needs to be pulled from the tree.
Here's a quote from the documentation:

<quote>
AOL HAS INTRODUCED NEW LICENSE TERMS FOR THE SHOUTCAST SERVICE.
SERVERAL OPEN SOURCE PROJECTS HAVE PULLED THEIR SHOUTCAST SUPPORT,
WAITING FOR AOL TO INTRODUCE ACCEPTABLE TERMS. SHOUTCAST-SEARCH IS PUT ON HOLD
UNTIL THESE ISSUES ARE RESOLVED. SEE [THE VIDEOLAN PRESS
RELEASE](http://www.videolan.org/press/2010-1.html) FOR MORE INFORMATION.
