Version: 1.4.9.1-3.fc8 (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Fedora RPMs Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33) Used Fedora 8 binary packages + xine-lib-extras-nonfree-1.1.12-1.lvn8 OS: Linux I've noticed the following problem with playing mp3 streams with Amarok (xine engine) If you enable the xine engine proxy: Settings->Configure Amarok->Engine->Http Proxy for Streaming ... Amarok will no longer seem to handle icy-metadata in the stream which results in: 1. No metainfo/metadata history in the 'Music' tab. 2. Amarok thinks the icy-metadata is actually part of the mp3 stream and does not discard it which results in annoying audible 'clicks' every two seconds or so. Everything works great as soon as you remove the http streaming proxy settings from the xine engine configuration screen. Don't know if this is Amarok or Xine's bug... Here's a tcpdump of Amarok's communication with the streaming server: without proxy (works great): GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: 208.113.210.24:8000 User-Agent: xine/1.1.12 Accept: */* Icy-MetaData: 1 ICY 200 OK icy-notice1:<BR>This stream requires <a href="http://www.winamp.com/">Winamp</a><BR> icy-notice2:SHOUTcast Distributed Network Audio Server/Linux v1.9.8<BR> icy-name:[radio.wazee] modern alternative rock (www.wazee.org) icy-genre:Alternative Rock icy-url:http://www.wazee.org content-type:audio/mpeg icy-pub:1 icy-metaint:32768 icy-br:128 (mp3data...) with proxy (no metadata, audible clicks every two seconds): GET / HTTP/1.0 Host: 208.113.210.24:8000 User-Agent: xine/1.1.12 Accept: */* Icy-MetaData: 1 Via: 1.0 zmei.jeox.com:3128 (squid/2.6.STABLE19) X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1 Cache-Control: max-age=259200 Connection: keep-alive ICY 200 OK icy-notice1:<BR>This stream requires <a href="http://www.winamp.com/">Winamp</a><BR> icy-notice2:SHOUTcast Distributed Network Audio Server/Linux v1.9.8<BR> icy-name:[radio.wazee] modern alternative rock (www.wazee.org) icy-genre:Alternative Rock icy-url:http://www.wazee.org content-type:audio/mpeg icy-pub:1 icy-metaint:32768 icy-br:128 (mp3data...)
