Yes this method works great and it's super easy to set up. Thanks belltown!

Yes, thanks to belltown again, this method is now obsolete unless you are still using Win XP. The new method linked in the post above is the way to go!

Can something like icecast do this without VLC and with any soundcard?? I may experiment over the weekend. T-Dog. I originally started looking into this because I couldn't figure out SHOUTcast or Icecast, but yeah, if you can get it to stream over http you can use the Simple Audio Player channel or...

I finally read the one guy's post which had the secret spell to get it running on xp.

So you got it to work then, great!

I am trying to do this, but no luck with xp There is a missing picture in the explanation: 7. In the next dialog, type mp3 at the end of the Path field and click Stream. It should now say Streaming at the top and bottom of your VLC window. Pasting mp3 at end of does nothing. No mention of firewall ...

Thanks for updating the instructions for Win8!

Chiming in late here just to confirm that Gilgamesh's suggestion of using a second router to create a separate network does work. I bought a used router at a thrift store about a year ago to accomplish the same goal.

The image under Point 5 gives 404! Can you restore the image, or explain what goues on the Stream Ouput window?
Thank you!

I have fixed the image problem. Sorry about the delay in replying, I haven't looked at this forum lately.

Getting back to the OP's question, I agree with Gilgamesh that Roksbox is a good channel for streaming local media. You can keep it simple by making it just find your files, or you can make it look pretty with a little effort. I like Plex and think it works fine. It's not perfect, but it's pretty da...

There are several Roku apps with which you can stream from a network server to the Roku. The Roku would have to be connected to the ipod dock with an audio cable, presuming there's some type of stereo input jack on the dock.

The free apps that jump to mind are Plex and Mainsqueeze.

You can probably find the archived podcasts on the itunes podcast channel.

I can't answer your question, but I was curious about your usage of the term "show stopper". I always think of it as a part of a stage act where the audience reaction is so great that the performers have to pause until the reaction subsides. I saw it used in a software review with a negati...

You can use autoplay with Roksbox.

WilDD confirmed that info in a post back in January

For Mac or Windows, iTunes will convert the files to AAC/M4A - Note: DRM protected files or ALAC codec will not work.

Is there anyway toa ccess this channel in the UK? When I try to add it, I'm told it's not available in my region, although the Shoutcast site works fine on a computer. I would suggest sending a PM to The Endless , the developer of the channel. There's something that needs to be done on the develope...
