How to stream SHOUTcast radio streams on Chromecast receiver
android, chromecast, google-cast, internet-radio, shoutcast
Solution
Append a /; after the port of the stream url, so you get to the stream data i.e `http://46.105.118.14:13500/;`
I use the localcast android app with this trick to make my chromecast play SHOUTcast Radio.
Problem
We have a Android radio app which plays various live radio streams. It works pretty well with Google Chromecast as log the stream is a "normal" mp3 stream. The playback on Chromecast Styled Media Receiver is NOT working with SHOUTcast streams i.e `http://46.105.118.14:13500`. After `mRemoteMediaPlayer.load(...)` I see in my Android LogCat a result `statuscode = 1`. In Chrome debug console I see the following `Load metadata error`: [673.080s] [cast.receiver.MediaManager] Load metadata error cast_receiver.js:18 ib cast_receiver.js:18 gb.Gb cast_receiver.js:18 B.log cast_receiver.js:13 E cast_receiver.js:15 Z.pa cast_receiver.js:71 Eb cast_receiver.js:23 Cb cast_receiver.js:24 (anonymous function) cast_receiver.js:21 Is it possible to play SHOUTcast live streams with Google Chromecast (Styled Media Receiver or Custom Receiver)? If yes, can you give me some hints or point me to an example?
