GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 151453
gnome-vfs not able to handle shoutcast streams (http streams); regression
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Start rhythembox or gst-player and try to play the internet radio (shoutcast) of your choise. Since: gnome-vfs 2.7.4 (http backend rewrite) This is a regression since it worked prior to gnome-vfs-2.7.4. Error msg: When i try to play a stream in gst-player i get: Could not open vfs file "http://64.236.34.67:5190/stream/1003" for reading. Additional debug info: gstgnomevfssrc.c(1091): gst_gnomevfssrc_open_file: /work_thread/source: Generic error rhythembox prints a similar error. I mark this bug as major because this should probably be fixed for the release.
I am of course willing to get this stuff fixed fast but Ill need a bit more information. Can you first of all look at bug #150561 and see if the patch in there helps. Turning on debug output in the http module will help too. Feel free to beg me on IRC on any time (gicmo).
Created attachment 31269 [details] [review] Proposed patch for the neon library to handle ICY responses The ShoutCast and IceCast server respond to request with "ICY" not with "HTTP/" but the neon library expects it to be "HTTP/".
Patch commited to head with release team approval!
cool! now gnome 2.8 is ready ;) !
