whats the stream example you have?
I have bmp installed and it works with a lot of streams and I'll be building a streamtuner/bmp release soon, should be about the same size So since I have it installed right now i could test it straight away and findout if it works. I'll also look into alsaplayer also.

Try this (low quality) stream for example:

mms://66.90.103.45:80/golden

(Gxine can play it, but Alsaplayer fails to open the stream)

the actual streams for that mms file is
http://66.90.103.45:80/golden?MSWMExt=.asf
and no that didn't play in bmp maybe with a plugin, but not by default, That would play with bigbass's release of xmms for gtk2 puppy 4.0 http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 51&t=29529
he included wma format and gtk1 libs

Why build for different players? This is what I have for bmp.
Just add the script (ie. streamtuner2bmp) for whichever player to /usr/local/streamtuner.

streamtuner2bmp:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
sed -i -r '/#M3U/d' $1
bmp $1 &
exit

Of course, make sure you symlink beep-media-player to bmp

Now, when you get streamripper incorporated...

these work:

Code: Select all

mplayer mms://66.90.103.45:80/golden

Code: Select all

gxine mms://66.90.103.45:80/golden

Code: Select all

xine mms://66.90.103.45:80/golden

(with xine-ui)

I've just repackaged and added ch-alsa-streamtuner-2.sfs to the ChoicePup repository. It should work well with any Puppy4.xx.

Thanks ttuuxxx, J

There's something really weird going on with Aqualung and the Puppy 4.x series.

When started and running (even with no song playing), Aqualung modprobes (aggressively) every 2 seconds:

Code: Select all

/sbin/modprobe -q -- block_major_XX

where XX is a random number.

causing significant CPU spikes (~10% CPU usage with a 2GHz+ CPU)

(You'll have to use HTop to see this)

Can anyone explain what's happening?

There's no such problem when you use Aqualung in Upup.

I've been reading that a lot lately with general apps in 4 series and more so in 4.2, when in doubt blame Ecomoney, lol

How do I get the other plugins installed? On my LInux Mint version there are plugins for Live365.com, Google Radio, and a couple of others I can't recall just now.

Does it matter what version of streamtuner we run? I am running the version that came with Pupply 4.2.

Also, how do I get the streamripper to work? When I click on Record, a terminal window opens with Streampipper in the title bar but nothing in the window and it doesn't do anything. This is the command that appears in the Preferences for Streamripper:

Code: Select all

xterm -e streamripper %q

If you want stream ripper to work you need to install it, thats why I left the button so others like you would have a choice in the future
Here's a link
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 05&t=33569
Next yes you can install the other plugins butttttttttt You'll need Python installed, you'll have to search the forum for that, I don't really use python, but once thats installed and you install the plugins from another Os like Ubuntu Gutsy, you should be fine.

Thanks for sharing. I just downloaded and installed in Puppy 4.2.1 and it works great. I'm new to Linux and just learning my way around.

[Schism]

Running:
Compaq Presario F750 US
-AMD Athlon X2 TK57 @ 1.6 GHz
-1GB ram
-Atheros AR24XX wi-fi

with Upup476

Installed both. Alsaplayer choppy.

Aqualung looks good and sounds good.

I'm using ChoicePup and d/l jrb's version of Streamtuner+alsaplayer. The default stations work well, and I have no complaints with the sound quality, although I have only tried it with an old laptop.

However, when I try to stream from a website/radio of my choice, I have no luck. I've endeavoured to save the url address of the stream, but have either misunderstood what is needed, or am completely wrong.

www.pbsfm.org.au is one of the main stations I'm trying to get.

Any ideas or corrections would be greatly appreciated.

[trapster]

What happens if you plug this address in?
http://www.pbsfm.org.au/public/playerVer/player.asp

[ttuuxxx]

also this address
mms://srv1.mel.apstream.net/pbsfm

Thanks Trapster and tttuxxx. Tried both but had no luck with either of them.

when I try, alsplayer starts up, but I get a 'no stream' message in the box.

any other suggestions?
