exaile failes to wow on debian5 lenny


===================== exaile fails to wow . exaile failed to load shoutcast , the shoutcast plugin failed. I ended up removing exaile-shoutcast and i installed streamtuner... streamtuner defaults to xmms to play the shoutcast streams but debian dropped xmms support with debian5. ? but they did not change the default settings for streamtuner. STREAMTUNER must not be maintained actively @ debian. SO change the ( ~/.streamtuner/config) file to use audacious. """""""""""""""""""""""" action "play-m3u" { command "audacious %q "; """"""""""""""""""""""" action "play-stream" { command "audacious %q "; """""""""""""""""""""" WHATS streamtuner ? # It, just pops up audacious with the streamcast link place into audacius's playlist. # streamtuner is not a player it just seeks out stream-links and sends them to your player. # think middle man. (audacious) adjust audacious : lower audacious/s stream setting buffer so it doesn't freeeze up when seeking and buffering streams. ============================================== ============================= Exaile did not wow me. I'm not a big fan of python aps. try using ( streamtuner) for your shoutcast needs. And try using (gmusic broswer) for simple music library playback.
