hey guys, how do you install this shoutpsp? i have tried different things but still no joy....... thanx

How the heck do you install this?

If sum1 gets this application working be sure to let us know, im going to give it a shot and see what i make of it......



We need a 'read me' folder with more decriptive content stating exactly what we need to do.



Over all it sounds good :)

It's a script, not an application.



I presume it downloads a vast amount of music from a shoutcast server in one go and saves it as one file. Then you can use it in your rss feed to listen to it.



You need a server with php support to run the script. Suppose you can always install apache on your own machine.



Simpler method. Leave shoutcast stream recording on your own computer for a few hours. And then move the mp3/s to your psp.

With the & thing I meant & and not & The html thing has eaten the amp; part above. As far as what this does: You can put this file on a server. Then add a link to the file to an rss file. The psp will then stream then "think" it's a normal file download and allow you to stream it to your psp.



This means the PSP won't actually download it, and you don't need a big memory card for it. I streamed about 1GB of data with it by now (ca. 24 hours). And it isn't stored anywhere. I'll try to put out a new release this weekend (if i have time) containing better documentation and maybe some wrappers or something so it'll be a more fullfeatured product. As it is now it's only a script which you can add to an rss yourself.

No the whole point is that the default rss features can only stream a file to your psp. Any mp3-file. But more importantly ONLY mp3-FILES. This can use the rss features to stream Shoutcast servers to your psp. Your psp will think it's a file so happily stream it, and the php-file in this release will act as a buffer. The psp will think it's downloading a file, while actually it's downloading a shoutcast stream. So you can listen to Live shoutcast streams without pspradio.

You have to have a server

I use wamp5

google it

You can probly use a webhost, but wheres the fun.

Add the php folder to the root of your website.

go to your homepage and in the address change the page to "ShoutPSP.php"



this isn't a way to replace pspradio, its rather a way to replace shoutcast.

ok.....i am installing winamp now...(i must see this shoutpsp thing work).

No actually it's a way to replace pspradio not to replace a shoutcast server. It's a buffer between a shoutcast server (any shoutcast server) and the psp. The psp will only stream files, and this allows you to use the built in streaming features to listen to shoutcast servers. I'll try to add some nice documentation with pictures so everything is clear for everyone.



Setting it up basics:

Just get something like wamp or easyphp running (apache with php). And put the php file on your server, and add an rss file (like the demo included) and fill in the ip-data from your favorite shoutcast server, and listen to that server from your psp.

Yeh, i will look forward to this weekends release...r u sure it will work with firmware 2.7, because i am thinking of upgrading from 2.6 to 2.7.



keep up the good work mate ;D

Nice job Sol!

As for the people who 'want a readme', just open the .php file in notepad or something.. It's well documented.



For the people who (after reading the docs) still don't get how it really works, a little explanation:



What you need:

- Webserver which supports php

- Some kind of shoutcast stream

- PSP with access to the earlier named webserver



You read through the .php file, configure everything you need to configure (for me it was pretty self explanatory). Be sure to also update the shoutcast server settings.

Then connect with your psp to your webserver/shoutpsp.php (or whatever you called it).. et voila.. streaming music!



... Did I explain it well enough now Sol? ;)



Diddy

I have been waiting a long time for such a program.

I love shoutcast, and now i love Dan

thx a lot!!

Make sure webserver allows PHP or turn PHP.

You can add any number of channels to a single RSS feed (xml-file). Just copy the <item> block (until </item> and add a new one immediately after the item close tag (</item>). You can add as many as you want like that.

does anyone know where we are supposed to put the .xml file? on the PSP or Server? Also, do I need to edit the xml file and php file before loading them to their locations? I keep getting a 404 forbidden error for access to the php file. I think my php upgrade on my webserver hasnt fully installed yet and thus causing the problem. Still need to know 100% where the files go though to be sure its a webhosting issue. Thanks in advance SOLITUDE.

This thing Sucks and is a pain in the a hole to setup

Yeah I'm working on a step by step manual (and and installer file). Both files go on your server. Then you browse to the xml file from your psp webbrowser and it will ask you to add the xml as an rss feed. If the xml and the php are correctly installed from then you can stream shoutcast servers from the rss menu on your psp. I will post a detailed description next week (will work on it over the weekend) with some explanation of how it works and what it's for (some people still don't seem to get that).



As far as the sucks or hoax things. It's obviously not a hoax because there are people who have read the documentation (there is documentation if you bothered to look) and use it happily right now. It is however a piece of script that assumes some knowledge of php, rss, mp3 and shoutcast. If that's not available, don't go shouting it sucks just because YOU don't understand.



What I mean to say is: instead of yelling it sucks, try and improve it. Make it Un-suck. You have the code after all.

i installed that wamp5 but apache keeps crashing every time i load up shoutpsp.php.



i'll be eagerly awaiting your step by step manual.

Hey solitude I forgot to mention:



What is the whole deal with the & being replaced by &???



when I open the .xml file there is no & any where in the script. Am i missing something here (im not blond, lol)

Kind of getting this feeling this was a hoax and by the looks of it, it is. No response to resolve peoples problems and still no solution to getting this to work.



If you are thinking of trying this out, DONT!!!!! its a frustrating waste of time which could be used to do more important things like picking your nose.

I know a USB port from your wifes PU$$Y and I will tell you this the usb port is deffinately smaller then her large hole.

ok so i have the stuff up on my apache server and the channel name and disction that i changed and all but then when i go into that rss channel, even know i have changed the title of the cast it still comes up the same as the orig. station and when i try to play it the psp says its curropt

Can anyone post his webserver adress with the .xml and the .php file?

i know nothing about setting up php/xml files on a server but this is how i got it to work.



1. i downloaded abyss web server from download.com (free version)



2.went to this page :



http://www.psp411.com/show/guide/44/0/Streaming_Music_From_Your_PC_To_Your_PSP.html



and scrolled down to : "Installing and Configuring The Web Server" and configured the abyss web server like it says there



when it says "select "General" and change the Documents Path to the folder with your music in it'

i selected the folder that has the shoutpsp xml and php files.



after that i opened the xml file in note pad and input in my local address in the someserver address (for example: http://191.167.1.111/ShoutPSP.php?ip=64.236.34.4&port=80&stream=/stream/1005 )



the "http://192.168.1.111" represents my local address in this example and the "64.236.34.4&port=80&stream=/stream/1005" is the music stream



If you don't know your local IP address, do this:



Go to "Start > Run > CMD > ipconfig" and hit enter. It will say IP Address and then some numbers. In my case, it's 192.168.x.xxx. It depends on what kind of router/access point you are using





after that start up your psp browser..type in your local address (example: http://192.168.1.111)

now u should see the php and xml files on your server. click on the xml file and install the rss channel.

go to rss channel in the psp menu then start up the stream u saved

where can i find stream addresses like this

example : http://64.236.34.196:80/stream/1038



All i can find are ones that look like this

example : http://213.251.129.50:8000



If someone could give me a website that would be great

This is horribly lame!!!! Stick with PSPRadio and you wont have to deal with all this frustrating setting up of servers and problems getting just 1 stream to work. Good conecpt but horrible to get setup.

Ya, I have 2.7 fw and I wish I didnt upgrade now so I could still be running PSPRadio. Big mistake upgrading!!!! If anyone is thinking of upgrading in order to run this ShoutPSP deal, DONT DO IT!!!! stick with PSPRadio.

i figure it would work on any rss enabled firmware which i think is 2.0 and above

Hey everybody. I'm listening to it now. It works on any firmware with RSS feeds, (I don't know when that started, just got my psp). It has roughly a five second delay over the real shoutcast stream, and the fake file size determines the stream segment. You need a killer wifi connection or it buffers a lot, but that's the same with PSPradio I'm sure. I'll have full setup directions on my forum within 24 hours, and if you still can't get it to work, I'll even run it off my server for you.

Get ready by registering, so you can comment and crap. I'll probably have it done by 2:00 P:M PST today. (It's 1 AM.)

If you want proof, got to:

http://del.icio.us/ferramir/ and click the top link, "a hack for shoutcast" or something. I'm going to sleep now. Enjoy. Oh, and I'll be tweaking with it for a bit, but I'll try to get it to stream for about an hour before you have to restart it. -tweak-

When adding (or trying to at least) the XML from my page I'm getting an error stating "The channel could not be added (8010C08F), but if I try testing using the example at http://del.icio.us/ferramir/ it adds, shows up as "Tormented Radio" but when I try and play I get "Corrupted Data" message.



Any ideas anyone?

this works like a charm!!

here is a test stream http://www.bluenewworld.com/ShoutPSP.php?ip=64.236.34.67&port=80&stream=/stream/1003
