Good morning,
I've been wanting to listen to live streaming FM-radio broadcasts
on-line. I'm using Firefox (current as of last Thursday) and f-23
(current as of last Thursday). If it matters, I'm using Gnome.
One I've tried is here: "http://www.wbjc.com/";. When I click the
"iTunes/mp3" button, a dialogue pops up saying it wants to open
"listen.pls" which is an "MP3 ShoutCast playlist" from
"http://wbjc-sc.streamguys.org";, and it launches Rhythmbox. But I can't
get it to give me music.
On the same page, when I click the "Windows Media" button, a dialogue
pops up saying it wants to open "wbjc" which is an "ASF video" from
"http://vista.streamguys.com";, and it launches Videos. Nothing more
happens; I can't get Videos to give me music.
I try another station: "http://www.cpr.org/classical";. I click the
arrow near the top. I hear nothing. On the
"http://www.cpr.org/listen/streaming"; page, I try...
1. the Classical "MP3 Stream" "Listen" option. The pop-up says it's
trying to open "live_classical_mp3.pls" which is a "PLS file" from
"http://livestream.cprnetwork.org";. But it doesn't find any application
for such files.
2. the Classical "Windows Media Player Stream" "Listen" option. The
pop-up says it's trying to open "listenClassical.asx" which is an "ASF
video" from "http://livestream.cprnetwork.org";, and launches "Videos".
Nothing more happens; I can't get Videos to give me music.
3. the Classical "High-Quality AAC Stream" "Listen" option. The pop-up
says it's trying to open "live_classical_aac.pls" which is a "PLS file"
from "http://livestream.cprnetwork.org";. But it doesn't find any
application for such files.
One more site: "http://pipedreams.publicradio.org/listings/2016/1628/";.
When I click the "Complete Show" link, I get a little pop-up saying "To
view this content, Javascript must be enabled and Adobe Flash Player
must be installed.". (Javascript is enabled.) I also tried
"http://www.yourclassical.org/programs/pipedreams/episodes";. When I
click the Play arrow, I get a message at the bottom of the page saying
"We're sorry, but your browser is not able to play the stream. Please
try one of these options: 1) Install or enable Adobe Flash Player 2) Use
a browser that supports HTML5 and MP3 audio, such as Chrome, Safari, or
Internet Explorer 9 3) download the video. (I thought Forefox does
support html5!)
In fedora, using Firefox, how can I listen to these? What's the best
fedora application for this?
A related issue (I can move this to a separate topic if y'all prefer) I
can't get "Videos" to work with anything. The video area is always
solid black and the audio gives me silence when I put a dvd into the
player, or when something on the web causes Videos to be launched. I
can't find any way of configuring it. How do I get it to work?
Thanks,
Bill.
