Shoutcast radio link don't work when clicked, just end up with a black screen

Kainchild · 11th October 2012, 23:58

Every time I click on a link on the Shoutcast radio list, I end up getting this black screen and once I click on that screen, it goes back to the list but then you can't click anything afterwards. How do I fix this problem?

What operating system are you on? Windows(3.1/NT/98/2000/XP/Vista/7/8)? MacOSX? Linux?
Which browser do you normally use and what is it's current version?
Have you tried using a different browser yet?
Do you have any third-party add-ons/plugins/modules/toolbars/bho(s) installed in your current browser?

Firefox 15.0.1

Windows 8.

What does my browser have anything to do with this?

I am talking about the Shoutcast list on the Winamp player. Everytime I click it, I get this black screen followed by the whole list freezing up. The only way to unfreeze it is to click something else on the side and then re-click the Shoucast option.

Ah ha! I thought you were talking about www.shoutcast.com Must've mis-read your post.

I think I saw some other complaints with similar issues in the Winamp Technical Support and Winamp Bug Reports sub-forums before, but I'm not sure. I just tested it on my computer and it seems to work. However, it does take a little bit to pop but not very long, maybe 5 seconds, so I'm not seeing your issue.

I found a thread that seems to have the same issue as you:

Take a look and see if any of the suggestions in there help you out.

Tried what they suggested on that page and it still didn't work. Maybe there's a setting or something I am suppose to change?

Update: I just played with the settings on the gear wheel on the top of the Shoucast window and checked on the enqueue stations, played a station on the play list and got it to work. I then unchecked the option and now the station are all working again. I wish I knew to God why I had to do that just to get it to work.

Only thing I can guess is doing that might have reset some internal settings then putting back to it's default behavior.

At least you got it to work again.
