Topic: Playing streams with btplay / control panel events not working
I would like to implement a simple script to play audio streams on my chumby one.
I already know that there are two possible options to accomplish this: using btplay or using the control panel events.
So here's the problem:
Using MyStreams, I'm using e.g. the following URL to play my favorite radio station: http://streams.br-online.de/bayern3_1.m3u MyStreams is handling this URL perfectly. However, if I'm using
btplay http://streams.br-online.de/bayern3_1.m3u
nothing happens. Same for
echo "<event type=\"UserPlayer\" value=\"play\" comment=\" http://streams.br-online.de/bayern3_1.m3u\"/>" > /tmp/flashplayer.event^
chumbyflashplayer.x -F1
If I'm downloading the m3u-file manually, it has the following content:
http://gffstream.ic.llnwd.net/stream/gffstream_w3b
http://gffstream.ic.llnwd.net/stream/gffstream_w3a
If I now use btplay or the control panel events with the first URL in the m3u-file, the audio stream from the radio station starts playing . However, it stops playing after a few seconds .
Does anybody has any idea how I could start this playlist from the command line? What is MyStreams doing different than these commands?
Thanks for your help,
Holger
