how to play online radios on xbmc ?

in which filder do i place these files ?

where's the online radio option on xbmc (april 1 release) ???

you place the .pls-files in a folder that's accesible in 'my music'.
each .pls-file is a playlist for a given radio shoutcast stream. select one from xbmc to listen to that particular radio channel.

i've noticed that a lot of the streams are either offline or not working at all. that's how it is, streams come and go...

and there seem to be a generla issue with pls streaming in current builds. none of my streams work atm (grabbed with xbmc shoucast updater python script)

and what build/cvs would that be ?

remember that dns for shoutcast doesnt work and no trailing / in link.
correct format for file#= line:
file1=http://206.19.69.69:443

on latest build maybe deleting the 00face008 folder solves issues ?

havent tried it yet tho...

not having tried the address you're supplying, i would guess this is an icecast-stream.

create a text file with the ending .strm, and place the address in it, just like this:

open the file from "my music" in xbmc, and you're done.
