12.04's music players won't stream radio stations
- by Jason
I cannot get any music player in 12.04 to stream radio stations. My previous OS (ubuntu 10.04) had no problems with this.
I have tried Rhythmbox and Exaile. neither works in 12.04 (but both work fine in 10.04.
I inputted this stream: http://ummedia12.rs.itd.umich.edu:8004
I see that an internet connection is established by "Python" and I hear the "Advertisement" that plays right before the stream begins. But then just silence.
The stream works fine in VLC, but I like to use the music players because they "store" the URL and have a tab that says Radio. I can find no way to "store" the URL in VLC.
Anyone know what's wrong and why it's not working in the music players? I have fluendo plugins installed. I have python installed. I have ffmpeg installed.
