A Flash player and Steamcast, wanna have? Free!
A Flash player and Steamcast, wanna have? Free!
For a long time now I created a Flash player for Steamcast RAW data streams, wanna have?
I can create a default player where you can add the Steamcast server IP and port, but I only do this if some of you really need this for your site.
No, I won't charge you like all the other guys, I still believe in Open Source.
Let me know!

SteamCast example:
Code: Select all
; SourceRawKey: Set this variable to the key you would like passed in a parameter string to access
; the raw data stream in HTTP form. This is great for things such as Flash. If you use the example
; below then access to the raw data stream (unprotected by user-agent filters) can be obtained by passing
; http://localhost:8000/mountname.mp3?rawdata to the player, as always substitute the address with your
; specific implementation. Leaving this option blank or commented disables this capability.
SourceRawKey=rawdata
Example raw.txt :
Code: Select all
&mylink=http://fulldomainname.com:8000/live?rawdata&mystation=Your Station Name
HTML file example to embed flash:
Code: Select all
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="200" height="194" title="Free Flash Woozy.nl Radio Player">

test it right now. first impression. Good! Seems to work great, although I've only run it for about 10 minutes so far.
I would personally make some superficial changes. Mainly to make it more obvious to start it, perhaps through a big play button in the middle. It wasn't obvious how to start it at first, and I know this will confuse some of my listeners.
And when I adjust the volume, the control sticks to the mouse, until I click it off again. In otherwords, if I click, drag, release, hovering over the flash makes the volume still move. I need to click it off. I don't know if this is a flash quirk or if you can control that, but it's also something that would trip up some listeners.

I'm having a problem I always have with flash players. After a certain period of time, the browser either locks up or crashes. It's probably related to how much cache/buffer space flash is allowed to have, and when it's filled, bonk. In my tests with a 128kbps mp3 steamcast feed, I get a little over 3 hours before this happens. I've reproduced it 3 times now.
This isn't unique to your player, but since you're the first developer I've had the ear of, I wonder if you can solve this problem. As I've stated before, I think it's basically filling up a buffer and ungracefully handling that, not that I really know why. Is it possible to handle receiving the stream in a way that clears out the old data?
If you could solve this issue, you'd have an extremely useful player, and my adoration!
