AIS Streaming Server Support [Minnesota Public Radio]

[niaxilin]

Winamp lives! Super happy to see Winamp asking to update itself after four years

Now I must admit that I had to switch to a different player last year when my favorite radio stream—Minnesota Public Radio—updated its servers.

This URL tries to open, but gets stuck at HTTP/1.0 200 OK for a few minutes. And then Error syncing to stream. Works fine in other players, and in Chrome.

Maybe it's because they switched to AIS servers? I setup a Linux proxy that converted the stream, and then I could listen again in Winamp. I hope you can help! Thank you.

What's the URL?

If you use "Go Advanced" you can uncheck "Automatically parse links in text" before posting.

Oh damn. I pasted URL, screenshots, and HTTP response headers. But it all got cut out.

Thanks for your fast reply though

The newest WinAmp v5.9.1 starts to play the stream now!

Previous message got clipped again...

Unfortunately, it speeds up, slows down, stutters, etc. Pretty funny experience, actually

I see. It's the emoji. I'll stop using them

Both of these streams work in VLC and Chrome but not WinAmp (v5.9.1):

plays fine here in winamp latest version with the newest patch

Please don't post links that open instantly a player ,it's advertising a station and not allowed, next time do as above has been changed

[niaxilin]

Thanks for the tip about the link. I'm certainly not trying to advertise for Public Radio.

How do I get the latest patch? I'm running "Winamp 5.9.1, Dec 21 2022" on Windows 11.

see my signature , latest version winamp

[niaxilin]

Yeah, that's the version. It plays everything else that I've tried, but not this one (my fav!). Yet VLC/Chrome/others work. What's different about this stream and this player?

Also, what's going on with my system in particular? Why does yours work? I installed WinAmp without extra options. Is there a necessary plugin?

How can I further debug this and help figure it out?

Thank you Enthusiast

since it works on my Winamp with only the shoutcast plugin it looks like something is going south but i got no clue what or why , can't see inside your machine

what do you get when trying to open the stream ?
