streamtuner (with shoutcast-fix)
i've uploaded a patched version (with ubuntu-, debian- and puppy-patches) to the first post. this is also to document the changes and to be able to simply apply further changes.

PUPPY SEARCH: http://wellminded.com/puppy/pupsearch.html
New Shoutcast plugin (shoutcast.so) needed.
It seems that Shoutcast has made a change to their format somehow so that I am unable to perform a "search" for any music categories. Just comes back with "2 categories, 0 streams". This has happened before and the "fix" involved copying a "new" shoutcast.so plugin to Streamtuner's folder. I believe CatDude was responsible. I've tried finding the new required plugin but don't know where it would be. Shoutcast's site doesn't offer any help here.
Anybody else out there notice the new change?

Not really sure what's up Yogi with Streamtuner. :'( Seeing your post had me opening mine
to check - and you're right of course! - nothing at all coming in from Shoutcast.
But then I gave Xiph a refresh, and I waited... and waited... and, well, I'm sure you get the
picture here? Either Xiph is being over-run due to Shoutcast being off-line and therefore not
giving out refreshes, or they're off completely.
Who on earth knows what with the way RIAA has wanted lately to shutdown online radio?
I do know that my bookmarks are working - all two of them - made recently when in a hurry
installing from a computer crash over a month back, and from Shoutcast. -sigh!-
Hopefully something will come up soon!
I'm so tired of a few ruining a good thing for the honest many who just like to LISTEN while
typing...

Thanks for the tip Dawnsboy. I already have this version of Streamtuner but I extracted the shoutcast.so plugin anyway just to see. No luck. I'm pretty sure the recent change enacted by Shoutcast will have to be addressed by a new plugin. I could be wrong but like I said I've seen this problem before.
Some more googling came up with this procedure as a temporary fix:
http://tazbuntu.blogspot.com/2008/10/sh ... tuner.html
Using TaZMAn's advice, I added the following line to /etc/hosts:
205.188.234.120 www.shoutcast.com
It doesn't solve the music categories issue but at least I can perform a "search" for rock, comedy, jazz, news, etc stations and select what I want that way.
Until someone with more expertise can create a new shoutcast.so plugin, this will have to do.

Streamtuner shoutcast still works on 2.14X, so maybe try this shoutcast plugin, just extract it and drop/replace in /usr/lib/streamtuner/plugins/

Hi
These buggers really like to keep us on our toes don't they.
Anyway, i managed to find another plugin that displayed all of the genres,
but it would not connect to anything, it kept giving the following error message:
I tried the temporary fix suggested by Yogi, to see if that would help, but it never.
In desperation i downloaded and installed a hex editor and got stuck in,
i didn't have a clue what i was doing , but after umpteen attempts i eventually got it to work.
So, if anyone is feeling brave, please try the one attached below.

Hi
@ ttuuxxx
As i said above, i just hacked the plugin which i found here: Shoutcast Bug In Streamtuner
using Mickey Hex Editor, which i downloaded from here: mickey-0.1.13.linuxELFx86.tar.gz
All i did was use mickey to open up the plugin from the link above,
then did a search for 205.188.234.120 (there are only two instances of it).
I then changed the first instance to what is shown in the attached image.

No problem mate, just glad to hear that it works for you.Yogi wrote:Your shoutcast plugin works! It has restored the music categories in the lefthand column of the Shoutcast tab. Thanks.
I don't know for sure, but i gather it has something to do with the setup of their web pages.Yogi wrote:By the by, you wouldn't happen to know what Shoutcast is doing that keeps causing this problem, do you?

shoutcast in streamtuner
CatDude,
Quick note to let you know that your 'fixed' shoutcast.so transplanted successfully to Sidux-2010 KDE.
I put a link in my success posting on the Sidux forum using your posted 'fix'.
Thanks for the help.
best regards,
marvinudy
