Topic: Could someone help me with this stream?

This may or may not work for Chumby. I haven't been able to actually figure out the stream format, or direct link, but maybe someone more experienced has the ability.

Here is a link, and if you click the Listen Live link, it'll open a player. I hope it's not some proprietary player that can't be 'normally' streamed.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

It is a stream and can be normally streamed, but they don't give you the URL so you would have to find it in the flash code. It would be easier to make a widget to stream it. You could with the .swf file http://player.streamtheworld.com/jbroad … cast14.swf , but it needs the variable CALLSIGN=KEZOFM and I dont know if you can embed those into swf files. If you could it would be easy. Mabye it will tell someone at http://www.actionscript.org/resources/a … Page1.html . I will try to find out.

Is there a way to convert swf to fla?

I am not sure this would work, because unfortunately the current version of Flash on the Chumby does not support streams.  Only Chumby Ind. can provide this functionality.

Regarding passing a variable to a swf, though it doesn't help in this situation, you can do something like http://player.streamtheworld.com/jbroad … IGN=KEZOFM

Cheers.

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

I just learned about flash on christmas, so I dont know much.
Is there a way to look at the code of a swf? Maybe i could find a stream URL in there to put into "My Streams".

There are a few "programs" around that you can use to decompile a swf, you can probably Google some.  As a developer, I am not very fond of them though. wink

Cheers.

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

So, is there a way to stream that on the chumb?

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

chumbyflashplayer.x -z -i http://player.streamtheworld.com/jbroad … IGN=KEZOFM

I logged into SSHD, executed this command and it worked perfectly! AWESOME>

Thanks guys. Now I just need to figure out how to make a widget out of it.

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

I uploaded the JBroadcast14.swf, and it worked as a widget. The only problem is you can't adjust the callsign, and it doesn't default to KEZOFM.

Hmm. Any ideas?

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

decompile the swf and make the variable CALLSIGN=KEZOFM. Then publish it and upload that. I will try to do that.

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

I found this and I am trying to do it it and see if it works: http://www.sothink.com/product/flashdec … wnload.htm

It wont do actionscript. Trying this: http://www.flash-decompiler.com/decompi … tAod8xxgCQ

That wont do it either! Trying this: http://www.swfdecompiler.net/

That converts them to .exe. I cant find any more on google - They all cost money to do it.

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

Thanks.

Yeah, looks like I'm out of luck.

I suppose I could always run the SSHD command, and play it in the background.

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

unless you can embed swfs in other swfs. Then you could set the variable.

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

I found this link:

http://provisioning.streamtheworld.com/pls/KEZOFM.pls

It works in WinAmp, but when I tried it on the Chumby, it just says: "Now Playing" real fast, then goes back to "Idle".

Geez.

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

nofix - this PLS contains links to FLV files, not MP3 or Ogg.

In other words, this PLS file is returning Flash Video files, not music. The music player the chumby uses (BlueTune) does not support Flash Video as a music source.

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

Okay. I thought that might be the case. Guess I'll have to try embedding the original SWF link into a Widget.

Re: Could someone help me with this stream?

Okay. I figured it out.

_root.loadMovie("http://player.streamtheworld.com/jbroadcast/jbroadcast14.swf?CALLSIGN=KEZOFM");

That's all it took smile Would be cool to add channel changing options.
