Streaming Online Radio Feeds

[wedgetail]

I also have a Minime2010.12 system running. I have now fully updated this and installed {radiotray} only ie yet no {task-multimedia}, and starting from konsole:

Code: [Select]

[gert@localhost ~]$ radiotray

    self.souphttpsrc = gst.element_factory_make("souphttpsrc", "source")
gst.ElementNotFoundError: souphttpsrc
[gert@localhost ~]$
This seems to fail even before selecting a station.

Googling the {gst.ElementNotFoundError: souphttpsrc} interesting in the sense that I found the exact same reponse as above code in pastebin at:

http://pastebin.com/2CtRdxm0

Not that this helped me, apart from showing I am not alone.

Edit:
Decided to see what happened if I installed {task-multimedia}, well that brings it back to same situation I have in KDE.  Starting {radiotray} in konsole  now gives normal response, waiting for station selection.

Then selecting a station the konsole output seems to indicate normal operation until at the end the 'usual error' shows up:

Code: [Select]

Received MESSAGE_ERROR

Code: [Select]

[gert@localhost ~]$ uname -r
2.6.33.7-pclos6.bfs
[gert@localhost ~]$

Kernel should be ok?

Note:
When using Synaptic to completely uninstall {radiotray} in my case it turns out a couple of emtpy directories are left and following two files are not deleted.

/home/gert/.local/share/radiotray/bookmarks.xml
/home/gert/.local/share/radiotray/config.xml

I assumed this would be ok, they are fairly small, little content.

1.. You don't happen to be using Gnome?
2.. If not are you running Opera on your system with {radiotray} installed?

I have a Gnome system, think it is Gnome2010.12 if there is such a system, I have done a quick backup of this in preparation for total update tomorrow.

I installed {radiotray} and it seems to be working very well and fast station change.    I think I have checked all the default stations and only one, Classic FM seem patchy and unusable.

Edit:
Well I have just done a big update of the Gnome system, to my dismay this has now made {radiotray} unworkable again.  The error the same as previously.  I start from konsole and then select radiostation, seems to work tries 4 times and then the error:

Code: [Select]

No, neither Gnome nor Opera presently .......  KDE 4.6.1 now installed and radiotray is working well.

how does it work ??  tried marking it, but couldn't right or left click it .. killed it and can't find any timer to set..??

seems with the radio playing the timer can be ticked ......  which prevents further access to the radio ......  so I expect there must be some time setting as default which when expires turns off the radio .......  conjecture on my part .....

Yeah ... that's what I thought too.  Haven't tested it so to find out when the cut out occurs.  I reckon it will get more configurable as time goes on.

From the radiotray blog:

There’s now a sleep timer integrated in radio tray, so that you can all go to sleep listening to radio tray This feature will probably change in the future. In future version we plan to offer a plugin environment and this feature is a clear candidate for being a plugin.

tried it and it never shut off..

the file with settings exist, and it include the timer parameter (default 15):
~/.local/share/radiotray/config.xml

on my system, once sleep timer is activated no further access is possible, notification appear to be turned off, and timer doesn't work.
