Hi All,
I am new to this forum and somewhat new to XBMC. I have tried both Boxee and XBMC and the latter is more what I am looking for I believe.
I am running
ATV: ver 2.4
XBMC: 9.04.1 r 20677
USB drive attached to airport extreme connected via SMB
I am having problems getting shoutcast to work. It can't seem to d/l the playlists.
What am I missing? I have searched but cannot seem to find the answer
TIA,
hopefully the first steps to a journey of understanding this thing.

The Error says:
"SR_ERROR_PARSE_FAILURE"
Anything else needed? I know that the coding regarding the new ATV 3.0 is under way but any help is appreciated.

Seems that I've found an easy way to access shoutcast streams from the xbox. I was using upnp server to get the xbox to play the shoutcast playlist after saving it to my shared folder but that's obsolete and time consuming.
Here is what you have to do...
Go to the "Music" section of your xbmc. Select "Add Source". On the path for the media location type in "shout://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/newxml.phtml". On the "name for the media Source" enter anything you feel like. I have "Shoutcast (Online Radio)" and then select OK.
Now you should be able to access Shoutcast streams when your xbox is connected to the net. You cant access it like you do on the net... it is not search-able... but it is shoutcast access.
Hope you're still looking at this thread. If you have problems dont hesitate to ask. If you've found another solution... Please share. If I haven't understood your problem please let me know.

Thanks. But I have the AppleTV not an Xbox. I was able to d/l the playlists, but every time it tried to open a stream, I got the parsing error mentioned above.
I did a reinstall for some unrelated reason, and *poof* it started working. Go figure. I had reinstalled several times before to try to fix it. I do find that the ATV crashes when playing a stream and rendering the visualization. Could be a wireless problem. It seems to crash when playing music from Internet radio stations off the ATV 3.1 OS as well.

not a problem. When I get my iMac up and running again (HD crash), I will send up some new logs after I get the crash. Maybe ya'll can help confirm my suspicions.
