Hey folks,

Would like to listen to two separate streams in a standalone app (web player is subject to browser crashes, accidentially killing it, etc)

Tried Windows Media Player, it only runs one instance at a time...no bueno

Winamp seems to only be available from dodgy sites, don't even want to try.

Itunes doesn't seem to work, I click play, the button dims for a second then comes back...no bueno

Now I'm trying to use VLC and the same thing happens as iTunes, but at least I can get an error in the Messages window when I try to play a stream:

Code:
  http error: error: HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable
  core error: cannot pre fill buffer

I've seen that when I try the winamp, itunes and real audio file formats with VLC.

Any suggestions where to go from here?

Thanks!

Have had some success opening the asx file, going to the url, then pasting the resulting mp3 into VLC's playlist.

That didn't work long.

Are any third party listening apps supported?

The URLs will not be valid for long. A recent change forces you back to the site to get a new link frequently, probably each time you want to listen. There are other recent posts about that change.

I am experiencing the same thing with VLC, the stream will open fine in a Chrome browser, but I prefer to use VLC. Hopefully whatever change broke it will get fixed soon.

It's not "broke," it's to deal with unscrupulous app developers who are cheating Broadcastify and making money off of it without paying for a license:

Can't really blame Broadcastify for trying to protect its interests from those who are basically stealing from the site.

I can understand that, however, is VLC one of those apps, or Windows Media Player or Winamp or Real Player? Those are options in the dropdown to choose to listen with. I choose to download the ASX file and use VLC instead of the super bloated Windows Media Player. When it gives an error, then something is broke. I don't even have Windows Media Player set up so I cant test if it works in that. I get the changing of the URLS daily and can deal with that, and the slight inconvenience that it is, but I don't get why it is broke in VLC now!

Thanks folks, I thought I was going nuts b/c this used to work.

Understand the rationale for the change, they have to do what they have to do to keep the platform running. This is probably of the least ad-encumbered services out there i use regularly, just re-upped for 6 months to cover my begging arse. :)

Were you actually hearing audio, Mule ? When I tried it today, VLC appeared to be playing it fine but there was no audio. At the same time I listened to my scanner and also fired up an HTML5 Web Player session and they were playing the audio. ( I used the Chicago feed for testing since it was very active).

My issue with VLC and HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable is resolved. I downloaded VLC again (same version as I already had installed), executed the installer, told it to update but retain same settings. It deleted/reinstalled VLC and now it works just fine.

I'd suggest that the OP do the same.
