Stream not working?????

[Jazzyjase]

Can't seem to listen to the streaming audio. What's going on. Only been like this since I last logged on about two weeks ago.
Can someone help?

[roland909]

wot player do you use to play the stream?

How do you normally open the stream?

If you use winamp, try pressing "Control-L" in winamp and paste "213.40.196.160:8000" in the "open location" box that opens....

[Jazzyjase]

I use either Real Player, WMP or quick time. I have never had any problem with any of these, it just starts streaming straight away. But not any more.

Im having the same problem.
I tried rolands suggestion, no luck, just times out so I think its a problem with the site.
Can an admin look into it please.

[Q134]

I was just thinking it could be The ISP blocking it or summit.
Im on Virgin media.
It was good when it was Blueyonder, Now i hear Virgin are throttling bandwidths.

hhhmm same here, Virgin and cant hear Mart..suggestions anyone ?

I just found out that the TUNE-IN buttons at the top left on the site does not work anymore. Only the winamp button (the most left one). The other ones doesn’t work anymore...

I can't fix the tune in buttons cus I don’t have the right server access right now. Please try to log in to the stream manually:

Windows Media Player:

• open Windows Media Player
• go FILE, then OPEN URL (or just press CNTL-U). This opens the OPEN URL window
• paste this in the OPEN box: http://213.40.196.160:8000 (don’t click this, paste it to the OPEN box)
• OK, and the stream will start

Winamp:
The Winamp TUNE-IN link on the top left of the homepage should work. If it doesn’t, try this:

• open Winamp
• press CNTL-L, this opens a OPEN LOCATION window
• paste this in the Open box: 213.40.196.160:8000
• OK, and the stream starts

If your using winamp, and you still can't tune in, please send me a Private Message on here, or in the IRC chartroom!

Blocking the stream by your ISP is highly unlikely. Blocking Shoutcast audio streams (the streaming technology we use) can only be done blocking a specific IP-address or port. Its possible that your ISP blocks the default shoutcast port (port 8000). This will block PR cus we're running our server on the default port. If you think your ISP is blocking the stream, contact me and I'll give you a different server address/port so we can check if it IS ISP-blocking what stops you from tuning in.

Good Luck!

Goodman, sorted

I'm with BT Openworld. Never had any problems before, although I did recently upgrade (apparently) to 4MB internet speed. Can't imagine this would be the problem, though.

Just tried Roland909 method on WMP and now listening to PR. Hooray.

Ive put up these temporary buttons to tune in on the homepage:

Problems tuning in? Try this:

• Tune in using Winamp
• Tune in using Realplayer
• Tune in using Windows Media Player
• Tune in using iTunes

Please use these till we have sorted the problem with the tune-in buttons in the header.

If your still not able to tune in, please send me a Private Message.
