MMM-MplayerRadio

I tried this link on the command line:
mplayer -cache 256 -playlist http://www.surfmusik.de/m3u/magicfm,14949.m3u

Mplayer complains that the station is to slow. It doesn’t even start playing in my case.
It looks like mplayer has some known problems with aac.

But you are right. If i use xmms2 it works.
The problem is, that xmms2 uses a totally different interface.

But also some good news. I released a new version 0.0.2 which adds two volume buttons.

Found a hack:
You can create an own m3u file which contains this url “http://stream.laut.fm/magicfm”. This one is working fine with mplayer

                                       {
						title: "Test",
						url: "/home/pi/test.m3u",
					}

@wishmaster270 thank you for new release and maybe you think in the future to release a version with xmms2. Thanks

electros

@wishmaster270 ok i will try. Thanks

electros

@wishmaster270 Sorry because I still insist but now the new release is not stable he start flickering, but just this module everything else works fine. Looks like he refreshed every 5 seconds. And sometimes when he flicker he stop playing.

@electros
Sorry for that.
I will check it tomorrow. It is curious because I did not change anything in the backend.

electros

@wishmaster270 ok thanks

@electros I just realised that the flickering means that the module tries to switch to the sender but the mplayer process runs into an error.
Does it work if you run the command directly in the shell?

electros

@wishmaster270 sorry but i don’t know about what command you talk. To play that test file in mplayer from the shell?

@electros
mplayer -cache 256 -playlist PLAYLISTFILE

I will try to reduce the flickering but I don’t think this will stop the problem of your stations not being played.
I spent the last hour to read more about Xmms2. I don’t think that I can implement an easy way to switch between the two players. One of the main problems is that Xmms2 does not provide the current stream info of the station.
