Re: Playing A MP3 Stream In Dashcode



Hi Michael—

I am creating/modifying a Dashcode based widget that uses the Podcast
template.  I want a button on it that when clicked plays a .pls MP3
stream so what I did was pass an array  to update_episode() as such:

function katgStream(event)
{
	// Insert Code Here
						liveStream[0] = {
						title:"<b>KATG 247</b>",
						date:null,
						dateString:"Wed, 27 Dec 2006 05:00:00 GMT",
						subtitle:"<b>none</b>",
						description:"Live Stream Provided By xxx",
						link:"http://247.keithandthegirl.com:8002/listen.pls";,
						track:"icy://247.keithandthegirl.com:8002/"
						}
	update_episode(liveStream[0]);
	
}

For track if I pass in a url to a .mp3 file it loads and plays the
file correctly. But I pass in
http://247.keithandthegirl.com:8002/listen.pls I get a cube with ?s on
it.  And if I pass in icy://247.keithandthegirl.com:8002/ it works
correctly in the Quicktime Player but not in Dashcode.

Dashcode's Podcast template uses the QuickTime plug-in to playback audio files. At this time, the QuickTime plug-in doesn't support playback of streaming MP3 (a.k.a. Icecast, Shoutcast). This means that the plug-in doesn't accept files with a .pls extension and can't handle the icy protocol.


At this time, I don't know of any workarounds for this particular issue, but please file a bug on QuickTime via <http:// bugreport.apple.com/> . Thanks!
