A further follow-up on this internet streaming. I am having inconsistent behavior with this. While I can reliably play music from the Music directory the internet streaming seems to be troublesome. I have managed to get this to run once today, but attempts to use it after that have failed.
I don't have WiFi at home, so I need to be elsewhere to try this. I can confirm WiFi operation by opening the browser and confirm mplayer operation by playing local music. I stop mplayer and attempt to start one of the internet streams but get nothing other than the "Success!" message. I try all three I have defined, stopping mplayer between them, with similar results.
How can I best debug this to see what is causing the problem? I could change the script to capture the mplayer stdout/stderr in a file in the installdir for later inspection and see if the problem is with mplayer. I could modify the command line in mplayer.ini to likewise capture stdout/stderr for later inspection.
Are there any better ways to accomplish this? Am I the only one seeing this problem?
If you need more than the one station included in the above message, change "WMAL" to "WBAP" and "WABC" for the other two I was working with.
