Questions about streaming radio

Postby scottw on Tue Feb 21, 2006 1:32 pm

First how do make the "Now Playing" section refresh the data. I have buttons setup for different shoutcast radio stations and a text field to display the info which I have audioplayer>now>%artist%, all though it does not matter what I have in there weather it's audioplayer>now>%artist% or just audioplayer>now>% it's shows the same data, but anyway off topic. If I click on one of the radio stations it starts playing but the "Now Playing" field just says connecting to.... until I roll over another button and then it changes the "Now Playing" text to the info I want. Is there a way to have it refresh automatically??

Second does anyone else have the problem of a station just stopping for no reason. I like the ".977 The Hitz Channel" and it will stop at almost the exact same spot everytime, around 1:07. It acts like someone just hits the stop button on winamp, but other stations seem to be fine.
Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem.

Thanks,
Scott

I think it depends upon the stream you are listening to and how they supply the now playing information. Most that I listen to have both the artist and song title in the trackname field.

I had the same problem last night. Loaded Bundle file from winamp and had problems loaded just the full version and worked.
Full version here:
