Hi timkjabar,

Your live Application.xml file looks like it has the incorrect value. It is set to

<AppType>Streaming</AppType>

but it should be:

<AppType>Live</AppType>

We do recommend creating/editing your application configuration using the Streaming Engine Manager as much as possible. I was also testing your radio.stream, but it appears the shoutcast service may be down. You can test a source feed using VLC (Open Network Stream) to see if the error could be in the source.

Hi,

radiostation.stream should not actaully contain the m3u, but actually contain this:

    [url]http://142.4.4.157:9503/WWIK[/url]

which is actually the contents of the .m3u file.

Then when you start the stream make sure the MediaCaster type used is ‘shoutcast’.

You should then be able to start the stream and play back on most of the test players.

thank you for your help…

i made the cahnge in the application file and fixed the radiostation.stream issue by removing the m3u. still nothing. i am adding a picture of the sample player showing the error message.

any help is always nice.

DAren,

thank you for your reply.

i made the changes- restarted the application and still got the same result. i even changed file permissions no difference made.

i am including a screenshoot image for you to look at:

thank you for your help.

I will also go ahead and move this thread to Streaming Engine discussion, since it involves applications created in Streaming Engine version 4.
