[Qt-interest] Phonon and Shoutcast-Streams

[Ulrich Geilmann]

Hi.

I would like to play Shoutcast-Streams with Phonon, but I ran into some 
trouble:

I play a url to a pls-playlist given by shoutcast.com as follows:
QUrl url 
(http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/shoutcast-playlist.pls?rn=1480&file=filename.pls)
m_mediaObject->setCurrentSource (url);
m_mediaObject->play();

This does not always work. Sometimes, but not always, the 
setCurrentSource method takes forever to return... i do not know why, it 
maybe a backend problem (i'm using qt on mac os)

I then tried downloading the pls file and reading the concrete stream 
url myself. It seems to be http://208.53.158.213:80. Giving iTunes this 
url (which should use the very same backend as Phonon, namely QuickTime) 
it perfectly plays the stream. But when i try to play it with Phonon 
using the very same code as above i get the error message "Could not 
open media source".

Any suggestions?
