Shoutcast Stream

Alright... this is driving me nuts. I REALLY want to have some shoutcast streams through my reciever, but i'm having no luck. Both RRR and Rioplay work fine for serving up local music, but when i try and get a shoutcast stream i get nothing.

I'm behind a BBIAgent linux router, and my reciever is a Dell branded one. Would either of these factors matter in getting shoutcast to stream?? I need my shoutcast!

Thanks!

Loren,

You need to make sure your firewall/router is accepting the receiver's IP-address for NAT/IP-masquerading. Also check the "default gateway"-option of the DHCP-reply. It should be the IP-address of the linux box

Running fine with my couple of DAR's. So guess its a router / firewall issue. Can you get shoutcast streams working to a PC on your home network ?

I don't know anything about this firewall, but if you set a PC to the same IP address that the Rio uses, can you ping the Shoutcast server?

*sigh* i tried all of your suggestions. No go STILL. I've upgraded to RRR 7.10, Reciever Manager 1.03, and the same results. I can get shoutcast going on any other computer, just not the reciever. It just freezes. It wouldn't make sense for it to be a router issue if it works on every other computer, without any special rules for shoutcast on the router. Any other ideas??

make sure that the rio reciever's ip address can see the rest of your local network..

I had a problem when iptables was blocking my local network from my linux box - for some reason riplay/rrr both wanted to talk directly to the dhcp (or maybe jrecevier?) server...

iptables -t filter -A INPUT -d $LOCALNET -s $LOCALNET -j ACCEPT
fixed the problem for me..

but did that preclude your reciever from working at all or just from receiving shoutcast streams? As far as i can tell it can see the whole network.

w/ older versions of rioplay, (.28), everything worked except for shoutcast..

w/ rrr and newer versions of rioplay, it would crash upon startup..

I suggest you setup an internal shoutcast server and get your clients working with this first. Then you can work on external shoutcast sites. It's not a big deal to get going,i use it to stream my local FM radio station to mu receivers.

good idea.. didn't think of that. I'll try that out tonight.

Check out streamsicle - http://streamsicle.com/ a very easy to configure/use mp3 streamer (uses your current mp3's..) for Windows..

I'm actually using this in-play of playlists/etc on the rioreceiver - it's a jukebox-style web page which can stream to the rio receiver, with a very clean interface.

Check it out.
