Quick question....

A member is having problems hearing or seeing anything from the radio. He's using Internet Explorer, runs the latest WMP and RP, and is able to view/listen movies when they're embedded into posts. I don't see how or why he'd be having these problems if he's able to normally load multimedia files using the same browser.

Any guesses?

Other than that it is great and works perfectly, doe what it advertises

I tried it in Firefox and it won't work at all. It just causes a Windows error that shuts down the browser.

Got it fixed. Was a firewall issue.

Zero - I have been waiting for this for a while, thank you, just one question though, what kind of streams does it accept?

I can't seem to find a good 80s and/or 70s music station along with a good symphony station.

Guys have any luck?

WHat i used to do when I had another radio on one of my sites (had to manualy program it since it was priginaly made for PHPBB) Was I went to Shoutcast, now I know Shoutcast is mainly for winamp, but when you found a station you liked (my favs were techno/rave) you visit the stations site, and 9 times out of 10 the had a windows media stream as well.

For those that want a radio station, you can also use ours, it is up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and fully licensed:

Hot Music FM (Alternative Genre)
Broadband - http://stream.hotmusicfm.com:8000/listen.pls
Dialup - http://stream.hotmusicfm.com:8010/listen.pls

I am off to install this now. If anyone wants me to add thier station to our forum (KCTalk.com) please email me at admin[at]kctalk.com, I will be happy to add it with a link back to our site (or if it is good, just to have it on there )

[kctalker]

Note - people can not listen to shoutcast streams that have real player installed. It will only play media streams, any way to correct this?

Very cool hack. You do good work.

When you say pushing "play" do you mean the "play" link? because this confuses my members, that's why I re-coded my left table. Make sure you click the button difectly under the station select drop-down, not the one farther down a few lines. I changed mine to say "Click here to Activate"
See this post for a screenshot: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....4&postcount=98

This hack works perfectly, as I have it installed on 2 busy forums and the members have long threads about how much they like this... The pre-installed stations do work but you should find/add your own anyway, those are just examples.
