I'm writing a small app to play a shoutcast stream, and I am using javazoom.jl.player.Player to do this. Here is my code:
package music;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.net.URL;
import javazoom.jl.player.Player;
class audiostream extends Thread {
private Player mediafilePlayer;
private volatile boolean shouldPlay = true;
@Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
if (shouldPlay) {
player();
}
}
}
public void player() {
try {
URL mediafile = new URL("http://hi1.streamingsoundtracks.com:8000/;");
InputStream stream = mediafile.openStream();
mediafilePlayer = new Player(stream);
mediafilePlayer.play();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(e);
}
}
public void pause() {
shouldPlay = false;
mediafilePlayer.close();
}
public void play() {
shouldPlay = true;
}
}
This works perfectly fine on my Mac and I can hear the stream. However on Windows when I try to run this I get the error "java.io.IOException: Invalid Http response". I believe this is because SHOUTcast returns icy 200 ok headers wherein something on Windows must want it to return http headers. I can't seem to find how to make it accept these different headers on windows using javazoom Player.
I ended up solving this issue by using BasicPlayerListener instead. I replaced the code in my question with the following:
package music;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javazoom.jlgui.basicplayer.BasicController;
import javazoom.jlgui.basicplayer.BasicPlayer;
import javazoom.jlgui.basicplayer.BasicPlayerEvent;
import javazoom.jlgui.basicplayer.BasicPlayerException;
import javazoom.jlgui.basicplayer.BasicPlayerListener;
public class audiostream implements BasicPlayerListener, Runnable {
public String streamurl;
public BasicController playerControl;
private volatile boolean shouldPlay = true;
@Override
public void run() {
while (true) {
if (shouldPlay) {
player();
}
}
}
// ** RUN ONCE TO START THREAD
public void start() {
new Thread(this).start();
}
// ** RUN TO PAUSE/STOP THE PLAYER
public void pause() {
// set play bool to false
shouldPlay = false;
// stop player
try {
playerControl.stop();
} catch (BasicPlayerException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(audiostream.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
// ** RUN TO PLAY
public void play() {
shouldPlay = true;
}
// construct
public audiostream(String givenStreamurl) {
// assign the radio url
streamurl = givenStreamurl;
}
// OPENS UP THE SHOUTCAST STREAM
public void player() {
// dont allow multiple runnings of this
shouldPlay = false;
// start stream
try {
BasicPlayer player = new BasicPlayer();
playerControl = (BasicController) player;
player.addBasicPlayerListener(this);
try {
playerControl.open(new URL(streamurl));
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) { }
playerControl.play();
} catch (BasicPlayerException ex) { }
}
@Override
public void opened(Object o, Map map) {
//System.out.println("opened : "+map.toString());
}
@Override
public void progress(int i, long l, byte[] bytes, Map map) {
//System.out.println("opened : "+map.toString());
}
@Override
public void stateUpdated(BasicPlayerEvent bpe) {
//System.out.println("opened : "+bpe.toString());
}
@Override
public void setController(BasicController bc) {
//System.out.println("opened : "+bc.toString());
}
}
