Icecast Directory

Postby pinsal » 21 May 2012 01:19

VLC 2.0.1 (Windows 7) When I click Icecast Directory, 95% of the entries say "Unspecified name", and yet they play. Prior to 2.0.1, I always saw some type of description. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I have tried reinstalling current version, installing 1.1.17, a registry cleaner, anti-spyware scan. Nothing seems to fix this. Any suggestions please?

BTW, the search box in Icecast listing is unresponsive. Could that be fixed in next VLC version as well?

The Icecast station list seems to be shrinking. For example, classical stations no longer appear. The station that I streamed yesterday is not available today. Am I just imagining things?

No idea. We are not maintaining this list.

I am in contact with the guys at the IceCast streaming directory.

The cause of what you all described is a temporary limitation of yp.xml (dev's should know) to list only 1000 entries at the moment.
They are migrating the icecast directory to a new infrastructure and soon that limit will be removed. Then all radio stations should appear again.

i am experiencing a similar though different problem, since upgrading to VLC media player 2.0.5 Twoflower i no longer get anything whatsoever in my icecast list, ie, total blank window, never finds any stations at all, whereas before "Twoflower" it listed a huge amount of working stations. ??? :P
VLC itself is working superlatively ( &,as almost always since beginning, Awesome. :)
