Need a plug-in to listen to a Windows-oriented radio station


If you are into house music, this one is the best, without a doubt.

Is there a way to make it work in Linux?

you can download the 'essential codecs' package from here. theres an INSTALL and README file to walk you through it.

also, this is for Mplayer, which i see doesnt come with suse 10.0, search for it in your package manager, or download it from the link provided about and install from source. shouldnt be too difficult.

im sure there are others but i havent checked, look for codecs for xmms or other common players as im sure there are codecs for Windows audio 9.1 (as this link supplies). maybe the mplayer plugins my themself work in xmms, if you configure xmms to do that?

On another hand, if folk music is your thing, the best available is WUMB, Boston ... Streams mp3, so you don't need any other codecs.

Works for me. Look through the SUSE YAST sources thread and add packman.

Install Mplayer, the win32codecs, and the mplayerplug-in for Firefox/Mozilla.

The codecs link does not work.

I downloaded Mplayer, but apparently, it needs lots of dependencies, most of which are not even listed in Yast, as far as I have been able to tell.
On the Mplayer summary page, it doesn't say anything about supporting .aspx files, though since they are "supposed to be" the same as .asf files, theoretically, it should work. Out of 9 dependencies that are missing to make it work, I found 2 that probably exist in Yast in some form or another. Mplayer looks like quite a task to make it work in 10.0.

I installed xine.

I got the w32 codecs from Packman and installed them. w32codec-all - Win32 and other binary Codecs.

After starting xine, I tried opening .aspx radio page and got an error saying that "There is no demuxer plug-in available to handle [the .aspx file}. Usually this means that the file format is not recognized." Sounds to me like it is not recognizing a non-standard .asf file.

However, I tried playing a few various types of movie files and neither Kaffein nor xine will play any of them, so I am a bit perplexed.

It's getting pretty late, so maybe I will just try it all over again tomorrow. Doing the same thing over and over again is giving few results.

Yes, there's a way. I got MPlayer to load your station from Firefox, just by clicking the link. These instructions show how to install MPlayer, w32codec-all and more:

Hacking SUSE Linux 10.1
http://www.thejemreport.com/mambo/content/view/254/42/

Unfortunately, the package management system in SUSE 10.1 is CRAP! I still can't get it to work. Also, SUSE has rearranged the mirrors causing even more problems. Try using Smart instead. It just works.

How to install and use smart on SUSE Linux 10.1

The Smart RPM's from Guru are preloaded with installation sources, so it couldn't be easier.
