How to play AACPlus-Stream

Hellow,

normally I just have to drag the (e.g. pls-) files into the playlist and foobar plays the stream.
But now i found a stream (a very good german radiostation  ) with nice quality, but i only can play this stream with "Media Player Classic" (from the nLite-Codec-Pack), VLC and foobar refused to play it.

This is the Stream, and here in txt:

Code: [Select]
[playlist]
numberofentries=1
File1=icyx://aac.webradio.rockantenne.de
Length1=-1

The strange thing is the "pseudo-protocol": icyx
I tried to rename the "icyx://"-protocol to "http://" as well, but after 2 seconds of playback foobar says:

Code: [Select]
Could not write info (Access denied) to:
"http://aac.webradio.rockantenne.de/"

and

Code: [Select]
Unable to resume decoding at 0:02.229 (Unsupported format or corrupted file):
"http://aac.webradio.rockantenne.de/"


Seems there is a protection on the stream which is only openable with the "icyx://"-protocol. So i need a plugin or something to open the icyx-protocol so i can hear my favourite radio station in my favourite player 

thanks in advance,
pausmann

According to this post, icyx is supposed to be http.

I'm playing it right now from foobar2000 v0.9.5 beta 8 and everything is fine.
I have only replaced icyx to http. The stream is encoded as AAC (SBR) 96kbps

Well, now (with the beta) it's working      - Thank you!

EDIT: Obviously it isn't working  - Just about 1 Minute, after that there's a new error-log:

Code: [Select]
Could not update tags (Access denied) on:
"http://aac.webradio.rockantenne.de/"

perhaps i have a plugin which doesn't like the aac-stream

That's interesting, because I haven't just pushed "play" and posted that it works.

I've listened to that stream for about 15 minutes and nothing strange happened.

This sounds like your playcounter trying to change the tags on the steam. You'll need to disable it while playing this stream, or configure it not to write tags to files.

Only issue I have is that it does not correctly report the bit-rate for ACCPlus streams over at http://www.sky.fm/ .

"%__bitrate% kbit/s" shows as "? kbit/s" in status bar.

If it is not possible to get the bit-rate then can I have it only show the bit-rate only when it's known? Thanks!

Update:

Using this now, so it only shows bit-rate if it's known.  Of course this still does not work with the AACPlus streams on sky fm. Any thoughts?

Code: [Select]
[|| %codec% || $ifgreater(%__bitrate%,0,%__bitrate% kbit/s ||,) ]


Update 2:

Sweet, I figured it out. Working great now:

Code: [Select]
[|| %codec% || $if2($info(bitrate_dynamic),$info(bitrate)) kbit/s ||]

Now if only I could figure how how to display the channel name, if possible.

I dunno how you got it working but when i try to play icyx://203.30.165.100:1755/kissfm.aac and even replace it with http:// i get an error with mslive streams

Unable to open item for playback (File Not Found (404)):
"mslive://|http://203.30.165.100:1755/kissfm.aac|list|/"

How do you normally play it?
