I have latest Fedora 4 installed.

Installed players are:

- Music Player
- Totem Movie Player
- Helix Player

The online radio station is using extension .pls and is located at www.di.fm

Direct link: http://di.fm/mp3/trance.pls

What should I do to be able to listen these radio stations?

Also I can not watch .wmv movies as well, need help with this one too.

Thanks in advance!

using "curl" with the link you gave:

curl http://di.fm/mp3/trance.pls

Gives me this:

Of which I can use Mplayer to play the streaming audio file.

mplayer -cache 4 http://64.236.34.196:5190/stream/1003

When I enter http://64.236.34.196:80/stream/1003 into Mplayer and start, it pop-up error message:

"There is no element present to handle the stream's mime type audio/mpeg."

????

Hmm, that particullar link works fine for me... try another ort... The first one I tried did not work but just selected the last port and it worked... Mplayer is picky and takes some fiddling around to get it right. make sure you use cache -4. that is the minumum. It will work with higher numbers but you will have to wait for the stream to start.

Try some other streams as well, then you will get the hang of how mplayer wants things handled...

fedora in default do not have codecs, install them (mp3 mpeg..) and it should woks very well in music player - something like that:

hi

I installed XMMS mp3, mpeg ... but still not working...

also there is no .wmv


???????????

Is XMMS separate player and should I install it separate or XMMS is the same as Mpayer ???

xmms should play it no problem either from a terminal:

xmms http://64.236.34.196:80/stream/1003

KC

Command not found...

How do I check if XMMS is installed? If not where to download one for Fedora 4?

should be in /usr/bin

/usr/bin/xmms http://64.236.34.196:80/stream/1003

I can't se that being the case though, /usr/bin is in the program path by default...

I believe you can use yum from a "root" terminal to install xmms:

$ su
PW
# yum install xmms xmms-mp3

KC

Just installed it and it working! It does not come with Fedora 4 by default...

1 - Now how do I set that XMMS player appear on the list Aplication/Audio&Video??? (currently i can start it just from command line...)

2 - Also is there a way to Bookmarks radio stations like in Winamp?

3 - And last question for now is how to watch .WMV files? I could not find codec for it.

Thanks

Clicking the direct link works for me in kmplayer. Hmm always wondered what "trance" was. Other than the hottie on Andromeda.

Make sure you have the codecs installed, not a different player.

Get the codecs here:
"Binary Codecs for MPlayer"
