I just had a look at the ShoutCastPlugin code, and I believe I've figured out the problem. It's not a bug in the code at all, but an error in the API it uses to fetch the data.
It uses "http://207.200.98.1/" as the base URI, which when viewed in a browser describes a MySQL connection problem. All the calls to the XML API just return "No DB!", which would fit the current error I'm getting from Banshee: [20 Debug 01:02:52.246] [LiveRadioBasePlugin"SHOUTcast.com"] <RetrieveXml> Error: Text node cannot appear in this state. Line 1, position 1. END I'm not familiar enough with this service to figure out what can be done to fix this. Has it perhaps been deprecated in favor of a new API? I found the following wiki which shows another API to this, but it requires a developer ID. http://wiki.winamp.com/wiki/SHOUTcast_Radio_Directory_API -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/903545 Title: liveradio SHOUTcast.com plugin times out when loading.
