thanks "phat Pizza"

what a great posting

Q-fu'us can only add that:

your statment only functions on "windows media player" isnt entryly correct
because none Windows browsers (such as MAc?linux)
will open the stream in there default player

I beleave it functions because they ignore reference to applications that they dont support
and just read/react-to the:
<embed src="http://x.x.x.x:8000/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.mp3">

note :: if your stream is a .pls.. (not .mp3)
you need to specify <embed type="audio/x-scpls" src="someurl/streamname.pls"
for 100% compatibility.
as this will insure the non-windows browser only opens a player capable of playback of a live stream

There is another way to get the Unicast URL...

On the streamerp2p home page; right-click the speaker icon, and copy the link location (at least that's in Firefox, not sure about Internet exploder's abillity to copy a URL)

You can then paste the link into the appropriate HTML code:

<a ref ,etc,,,

I warn my listeners that it's a limited bandwidth link so don't abuse it

Oh, and you can get any player to play it even if it's not an mp3 stream- just replace the pls with the correct suffix for your stream. ogg, whatever.

As long as the listener has the codec, they're good to go. I did have one listener mention that they had to manually start paly by using the .ogg link; I suspect it has to do with how the player's defaults are set...

hi, i have set this up on my website and when clicked on play it just says "connecting to media" then it goes back to ready, you can see it for yourself at http://radiosmithy.webs.com/listenlive.htm, do you know what i have done wrong and how i could make it work?

Thankyou

Please don't ask the same stuff in two treads. Read my answer here:

Understand the difference between P2P and unicast, check your configuration, port forward the right port. I think after this your unicast feed should work.
