Hi.
It wouldbe nice to could play streaming radio here on my SuSE 9.2 system. I want to play radio from http://dr.dk. How is that to be set up ?.
Erik Jakobsen
xmms plus the xmms-plugins should work as well. How is the radio-URL opened in XMMS ?

Erik, There is a page that lists alternative URL's http://www.dr.dk/netradio/alternativ/ Like http://www.dr.dk/netradio/alternativ/pls-filer/p3-64.pls Basic thing that you need to do is to make your browser aware of the fact that these links should fire xmms (or another app that understands shoutcast links - like kaffeine) Click on one of the .pls links in mozilla or firefox mozilla and firefox tell me that they recognize this as a Audio Playlist and will offer to open it. - My Mozilla plugins library also includes a realplayer plugin link but realplayer will actually error out. So i entered an alternative 'Open it with' /usr/bin/xmms and with 'OK' off you go. - Firefox offers xmms directly but i can't remember how i got this to work. With mozilla you can set this up directly as a helper application (i miss this really with firefox) edit -> preferences -> navigator -> helper aplications file type (Mime type) is: audio/x-mpegurl extension m3u,pls open it with: /usr/bin/xmms check always 'ask me before handling' (i like to be asked) Note I also have this working with konqueror (also via xmms) The problem with konqueror is plugin handling. It took a long time until i understood this a litle. Actually konqueror is loking to too many plugin directories and crashes on a lot of mime types due to this. What i did is that i reduced this to just mozilla's plugins and realplayer 10. Or to be exact: /opt/mozilla/lib/plugins /usr/local/HelixPlayer/mozilla $MOZILLA_HOME/plugins HTH, Peter Vollebregt
