Description postmodern 2004-12-19 09:02:23 UTC
media-sound/beep-media-player randomly stoped playing internet streams and is not displaying the text/number after the last dot in a hostname or ip address in the playlist. I've tried restarting bmp or changing playlists but nothing works. Playing of local files works just fine though.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start bmp
2. load your favorite pls file
3. click play

Actual Results:  
the generic "unable to play file" error message.

Expected Results:  
playing of the streams.

Comment 1 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-19 09:10:27 UTC
Do you use alsa or oss? What driver do you use? I have the same issue here with snd-intel8x0
Comment 2 postmodern 2004-12-19 09:14:42 UTC
I use ALSA with my SB Live (emu10k1) but I do have OSS compat layer enabled as well. I don't think the problem is with the audio drivers since all my local ogg vorbis files play perfectly. Probably its some playlist entry parsing code. I've noticed the correct entries do appear right when I load a pls but are changed to their mangled forms as if it were loading song info from the non-working stream.
Comment 3 postmodern 2004-12-19 09:50:41 UTC
Ah HA! The problem lies in some how the MPEG plugin is missing therefor all mp3 files can not be played local or via a stream.
Comment 4 Stefan Schweizer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-19 12:43:39 UTC
Did you forget to enable USE=mp3 ?
Comment 5 postmodern 2004-12-19 12:57:28 UTC
You are kiding me, this USE flag thing is getting out of control. Well mp3 is in place in my /etc/make.conf and beep is playing mp3s again.
