Can GB-PVR play Live365 Streams?

[ronkmd]

Thanks for the great program!
I'd like to stream Live365 MP3 streams to my MediaMVP via GB-PVR. Is this possible? I've tried using WinAmp to generate a .pls playlist of a station but GB-PVR either displays "...buffering" endlessly or displays "Failure connecting to station". Any help?
Thanks

I dont really know anything about Live365. I tried to take a look this afternoon when I saw your questions, but the site is incredibly painful and was trying to get my to sign up and download their player etc.

that's the url to open (using kiosk mode on IE, -k parameter) to navigate the site using your remote, and it plays the streams using WMP.

only problem I have is I use 800x600 desktop and it works best at 1024x768.

I know it's WMA, but it would be nice to be abel to listen to these on the "pc version" of gbpvr (P3 is the Danish equivalent of BBC Radio One):

I did manage to kludge together a workaround.

1. Set up a Shoutcast Server on port 8000 of my HTPC machine.

2. Set up the Shoutcast DSP plugin for Winamp on that same machine.

3. Played (and thus streamed over Shoutcast) a Live365 station via Winamp.

4. Setup a \net radio .pls playlist pointing to "http://[local IP of my HTPC]:8000"

5. Play this "station" on MVP using GB-PVR

Sounds OK but it doesn't allow me to change the Live365 streams thru Winamp. Any thoughts?
