I'm seeing the same error in streamtuner2 on both my laptop and my Athlon XP system -- when attempting to load the station list for a particular protocol, the URL report in the lower left of the streamtuner2 window appears to be reading for the wrong tab -- for instance, when I'm trying to use Shoutcast, it reads stations for Internet Radio instead, then reports"category parses as empty." A couple months ago, before I reinstalled antiX 13.2 on the laptop, I was getting successful operation; at least with Shoutcast (that's the only protocol I've used in the past). I've tried installing trayradio and rhythmbox, looking for substitutes that will get the job done, but neither is as versatile as streamtuner2; trayradio has a limited, fixed list of stations, and rhythmbox doesn't seem to have a means to search for radio stations. I'm going to take those off, since the laptop is getting a little short on space in the root partition (might be all those kernels I've installed, but I don't think that's the whole story); I need to find a way to make streamtuner2 work the way it did in, say, February.

There doesn't seem to be an older version available in the repos (at least the ones I can easily check from my desk, which are the ones I have set on my Athlon XP); is there a known patch for the station search system that will cause it to search the requested protocol, or am I expected to learn Python and fix it myself (not going to happen, at least this year).

I too have noticed the"category parses as empty" and it shows at the lower right corner a partial loading and freezes (will not move even after 4 hours on). Four months ago it ran with no problems, now it sits.

the project seems to be at least somewhat active on sourceforge. they have .debs for download. 2.1 is the latest. I haven't tried them, but it looks like the latest is dated April 28 2014.

Ah -- and older versions, in case the latest is still broken. Thanks, Dolphin!

I guess I should just get in the habit of routinely checking SourceForge for community project software...

I think the main problem with streamtuner at the moment is when services change their API's. As soon as that happens, streamtuner fails. This has happened in the past as well. heck, shoutcast isn't even owned by the same people anymore.

interestingly, my streamtuner is still working for any services for which I had previously downloaded the directory info. Hitting reload gives me the same errors that S.O. and jdmeaux1952 are experiencing.

For whatever it's worth, streamtuner2 version 2.1.0 (newest version on SourceForge -- one step newer than the one in our repos) seems to have beaten the failing directory service, at the cost of taking an extremely long time for the xiph module to load during startup (easy work-around: disable xiph from preferences). Unfortunately, my laptop suffered a power drop (cord got unplugged, with very unclean shutdown when the battery went flat) and the sound is gone again; looks like the simplest fix will be to reinstall antiX.
