Howto setup MinimStreamer to act like an url-server

yesterday i decided to deinstall MinimStreamer because it was not working for me. After that i played a little bit around and actually the following works:

The m3u-file:

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,[100.5-das Hitradio;mp3] 100.5-das Hitradio
http://dashitradio-mp3.skydisc.net:8000

When MinimServer starts i got an error:

Code:

Error: playlist 00Playlists-Radio/00 Internet Radio.m3u8: MinimStreamer is required for stream ID '100.5-das Hitradio'

But when i browse the playlist-section from MinimServer with my Soundbridge the stream was shown as "100.5-das Hitradio" and i could play it! This only works if i use the direct url, not like "FFH-Eurodance" above with a m3u-file for that stream, which then contains the direct url. And it also only works if i use the format above with the "[xxxxx;mp3]".

Specifying the stream type helps with some control points and renderers and it sounds like it is a good solution for your setup.

To eliminate the error message, you can specify:

Code:

#EXTM3U
#EXTINF:-1,[;mp3] 100.5-das Hitradio
http://dashitradio-mp3.skydisc.net:8000

This sets the stream type without routing the stream via MinimStreamer.
