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.

Odd thing I am using it on my mini pc as we speak. It was installed several days ago and has been working fine.

However I just installed a copy of the same package on my netbook (same puppy version) and I cannot pull in anything from shoutcast.

It looks like you are right.

Some more googling came up with this procedure as a temporary fix:

http://tazbuntu.blogspot.com/2008/10/shoutcast-bug-in-streamtuner.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. Laughing

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:

Hi catdude I had to delete /root/.streamtuner for your plugin to work Smile

do you have the patched sources?

CatDude,

Your shoutcast plugin works! It has restored the music categories in the lefthand column of the Shoutcast tab. Thanks.
By the by, you wouldn't happen to know what Shoutcast is doing that keeps causing this problem, do you?

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
