Hi!
I have some problems with internet streaming. When I want to listen to some music(no matter what format), moc keeps "Connecting...", but he never get connected ;/ I have curl (7.16.2) and moc from svn.
I hope somebody will help me...

Does MOC hang completely? Can you play a local file when "Connecting..." is displayed? Please also provide a URL you use.

MOC doesn't hang. I can change song, 'stop' works too.
URLs:
http://207.200.96.229:8030 - mp3 stream
http://160.79.128.61:7018 - aac+ stream

PS: Mplayer can play these streams.
--edit--
I have the same problem with MOC 2.4.1

I've just tested it with libcurl 7.16.2 and have the same problem. libcurl 7.15.4 provided with my system works. I'll try to fix that.

I've just tried 2.5.0-alpha2 with curl 7.16.2 and no luck listening
to any stream.

regards,

No, after searching curl mailing lists and google I don't know what's wrong.

it seems curl is not pharsing the stream properly...
Ive taken a trace from server log as below: (notice read buffer is 0, stream too short)
hope you can give us a fix for this soon, as im on debian/sid and I have to use libcurl4-gnutls (since i am using ooffice)

It seems You've entered URL to the playlist (listen.pls) not to the stream. You must download the playlist and open it locally in MOC.

Umm..i did that, but same story...

# cat /tmp/listen.pls
[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=1
File1=http://radio.internode.on.net:8078/

I used http://radio.internode.on.net:8078 as my url, but it still doesnt play. same error in log.
This works ok in xmms or anyother player.

I also did this:

# wget -O test.mp3 http://radio.internode.on.net:8078/
--02:28:43-- http://radio.internode.on.net:8078/
=> `test.mp3'

I can then play the test.mp3 using MOC, so it seems that the mp3 portion decodes ok in moc, but not via the url option

So this is the bug. I can't test it because I can't even connect to this URL, but there is no solution yet.

MOC doesnt work with any shoutcast urls
try this one for example:
http://222.122.131.29:2200

or you can download more listen.pls files and then try
http://www.winamp.com/media/radio

I know this, it affects some newer versions of curl. I tried to resolve this issue, but with no luck.

if this is curl related issue, i can try moc with an old curl version.
can you suggest which version of curl i should try?

daper

I'm using 7.15.5 and have no problems. Remember that you probably need to recompile MOC with this version of curl and IT'S headers.

I found a bad select() without timeout in the code that makes assumptions it shouldn't. I recommend a fix in this style (I didn't test, only written to explain my point):

Committed to SVN as r2319.

Probably also fixes or partially fixes: 762, 747 and 779.
Thank you "badger"; a good find.

This patch doesn't work for me. curl is 7.21.
Is this the correct command to start the stream player ? --> mocp http://207.200.96.229:8030/

moc-2.5.0-alpha4

Hi! I want to listen from Internet radios in moc, the trouble is when my internet provider renews its conection. When renews the conection moc stops and I have to manually start the file again. Help!
