MinimStreamer stops working after update

[Alhifi]

Hello Simon,

Thank you very much for your detailed reply. I understand some of it, but it raises new questions in my case.

In my case, I use the MinimStreamer exclusively for radio streams with my Roku Soundbridge, which, as is well known, does not support https. With the MinimStreamer, however, I can do this and the Soundbridge can receive the stream after redirection via your server, but without the additional information. I can understand that such information may be disruptive when recording, but I'm not sure.

I also understand the stream ID, but I can't use it like this:

#EXTINF:-1, 100.5-das Hitradio
http://stream.dashitradio.de/dashitradio...stream.mp3

In my case, the entries previously had an ID, but this is displayed in the list on the Soundbridge. If I omit the ID, the Soundbridge does not play the stream without information about what type it is, so for me it only works like this

#EXTINF:-1,[;mp3] 100.5-das Hitradio
http://stream.dashitradio.de/dashitradio...stream.mp3

I also tried the variation with the + in the ID, but then I have two entries for the same station, which doesn't make sense either.

So if you filter out the Icecast information when the stream runs via MinimStreamer, how about another variant, e.g. with a - instead of + in the ID, which forwards the stream 1:1 from the Internet to the player, but via http and not https! This means that the stream on the internet is only accessible via https, which is handled by the MinimServer, but it forwards it to the player via http... along with all the information that comes with the stream, without any format conversion. This option would extend the life of much older hardware such as the Soundbridge (I have 6 of them) by years... and surely bring you some subscribers for the streamer! ;-)
