Streaming Radio in Graal?

[Raeiphon]

It's been done.

Not sure by whom, but in Era, two locations have streaming, dynamic radio.

BUT. It's through a port, and it's a SHOUTcast server. Would there be any way to all to mask an asx to work through that? Aeon streams DI.fm and it runs through asx. Would I have to manually dissasemble the asx to find the ip and port to run with, and then what would I play it with?

play URL:PORT; playlooped URL:PORT; or you could use a gani.

A gani would play asx? How?

I am not sure if this helps, but information here helped me make the radio on Aeon (look for 'sound examples').

In the end, that is how it is done.

I think he is asking how to get the IP/Port that he can use with the play command.

Ah, I weas going to say, DR has had it as play url; for a long time. (although it goes real slow sometimes, it's not streaming the file, it's taking the entire mp3 file, which is bad for some older computers...like mine XD)

I'm going to try and make a class that splits asx into iport so streaming through graal is alot easier. I hope it can be done.

The streaming is probably quite similar (mp3 or wma streams), but the question is how to extract the address and author etc. from the asx file. It is in xml-format, and Graal doesn't provide functions yet to easily analyze xml files. It should still be possible to search for the "<ref href=url>" tag, similar to the analyzation of playlist files (described here)
