it would be great if you guys could add support for
shoutcast streams that are password protected.


example

[playlist]
numberofentries=2
file1=http://username:[email protected]:8070
title1=trance
length1=-1
file2=http://username:[email protected]:80
title2=trance
length2=-1
version=2

hi.
i've got a problem with playing di.fm streams. they require login to their servers and url of the stream is

http://user:pass@server_ip

the error i'm getting is "401 unauthorized"

how do i overcome it?

[pike]

i assume you got an account ofcourse?

[skiffex]

of course i have an account, it works fine in winamp

[s4czech]

i have the same problem.  http://www.digitallyimported.com

their low quality free account .pls files work fine on xbox.  when you try to use a .pls that includes your premium username/password for 128/160 files you get the 401 unauthorized error message like above.

what's the deal?

here's another program that has the same problem. (i dont use it, but found it via google) is what they talk about some how related to how xbox reads-plays .pls files?

http://streamripper.sourceforge.net/open...539&page=1

[s4czech]

i posted this problem on http://www.di.fm  forums

the di.fm admin said that programs need to support "basic authentication"  

will you come out with a patch like the other vendors have?

here's the whole reply from the di forum:

di forums board > other forums > di premium service > http:401 unauthorized

post1110184

"hi.
your media player needs to support basic authentication in order to work with premium. we had a few customers with various products who contacted the vendors - and they in turn released an upgrade for software/firmware to support it. we recommend to try and contact them and ask them to support basic authentication so that you can stream premium content from sites.

we'll be happy to assist them. they can contact support(at)di.fm if they need to test things to make it work.

here was my original question to di.fm:

"can you play your saved .pls (premium) files to use with other players besides winamp? i'm trying to listen to my premium di channels on my xbox media center but it gives me http:401 unauthorized. the free .pls files play fine but the ones i pay for do not? what can i do to make this work? i want to get the most out of my account i paid for."

[Gamester17]

i's not working because no support for it has been implemented, it's as simple as that.
moving to feature suggestions and merging into existing thread.

[Chopp3rDave]

okay so it's not implemented as of yet? any word on how hard it would be to add it, and if so when it could be added? i need my daily dose of opie & anthony.

cheers!

this doesnt appear to be an xbmc problem but an mplayer problem. it seems like mplayer is not computing the correct hash value. contact them.

ya it was mplayer

something with their base64 code

a friend of mine fixed it, it can be found at

http://streamtvnow.com/board/showthread.php?t=2034

[elupus]

well actually seem to be a an xbmc problem too.. tries to lookup the username in dns.. doesn't make sence at all.
btw, that url you posted needs login, can you post a quote instead?
