Internet Radio Stream (STRM) Fail - Looking for Explanation

[Guest]

I am new to emby and I am trying to find out if this will work as an audio streaming locally for me.
I am able to connect to our Sonos speakers through the plug in.  One does not show up because I suspect it is in use.

 

I used this forum thread to create an Internet Radio library using STRM files.

I have got a stream that works for all my radio stations except for one (Streamingsoundtracks.com), which I have used elsewhere for years.

I am using

I keep getting the following error message, but nothing in the log.

"No compatible streams are currently available. Please try again later or contact your system administrator for details."

I understand it might not be compatible but I would be interested to know why.  It is one of our favorite stations.  It is only http, but I have got in working on TuneIn.

Thanks.

Hi there, please attach the Emby server log from when the problem occurred:

Sorry the web logs showed nothing, so I thought there were no pertinent logs

	19:17:27.215 Output file #0 does not contain any stream

Did you point the strm to some kind of playlist and not an actual audio file?

It needs to point to actual media, not a playlist or web page url.

I have tried all three entries I used in the past and they do work depending on the program.

http://www.streamingsoundtracks.com/modules/Listen/MP3-hi.pls
http://hi5.streamingsoundtracks.com
http://hi.streamingsoundtracks.com

 

The best has been

http://hi5.streamingsoundtracks.com

 

Tunein works with 

http://www.streamingsoundtracks.com/modules/Listen/MP3-hi.pls

 

Foobar 2000 (Windows)  & MPC-HC (Windows) works with

http://hi5.streamingsoundtracks.com

 

I checked and the site itself is working.

Looked at the log closely and it appears to be this section.

The ERROR is this line:

I found this reference.  It is about 11 1/2 years ago but it appears to explain it.

It is for android kit kat but it seems applicable.

According to changes for kitakt 4.4 there were some problems with playing shoutcast streams (those returning "ICY" instead of "HTTP/1.x" response).

 

So I think your handler doesn't support this stream type.  Unfortunate for me.
