Am I doing something wrong? Am I going to have to sit by my PC to listen to this stuff?   Your help will be gratefully accepted.     https://peteatkin.com/forum?board=offtopic&action=display&num=1190051854&start=0#0     S J Birkill MV Administrator just a sensible reserve Posts: 893 Re: Interweb Radio & Smash Flops « Reply #1: 17.09.07 at 19:48 » Quote Hello Mick   Nice to see a newcomer posting to MV.   I think your difficulty may be due to the way I've set up the clips. In part it's an attempt to protect them from wholesale piracy -- they are after all not intended to be 'free' in the sense that a podcast or an IP radio stream is -- though I admit that the level of protection is as nothing to anyone the least bit determined to rip them. [But isn't this true to a greater or lesser extent of all antipiracy or "security" measures? -- they mainly serve to make life more difficult for the legitimate user!]   The link, for instance http://www.rwt.co.uk/play/touch.htm points not to the .mp3 file but to an HTML page which opens in its own small window, displaying a Windows Media Player console and starting the .mp3 file in the player. So the URL of the .mp3 itself is "hidden" in the player page. But not so well that you couldn't easily discover it by viewing the page source.   In this case that URL is http://www.rwt.co.uk/audio/touch.mp3. This should work via the Reciva interface.   Incidentally I'm hosting the audio files at RWT simply because my peteatkin.com webspace is pretty well maxed out!   Hope this helps.   Steve     https://peteatkin.com/forum?board=offtopic&action=display&num=1190051854&start=1#1     Stephen J Birkill Mick H MV Fresher Posts: 3 Re: Interweb Radio & Smash Flops « Reply #2: 17.09.07 at 20:05 » Quote Thanks alot for a speedy answer SJ. I think that will probably sort me out.   Fear not I am not into ripping off sites such as this, I just find it alot easier listening to the wireless than the scratchy little speakers on my lap-top.   Thanks again!     https://peteatkin.com/forum?board=offtopic&action=display&num=1190051854&start=2#2     Jan MV Fellow Posts: 312 Re: Interweb Radio & Smash Flops « Reply #3: 17.09.07 at 21:44 » Quote Thanks Steve! Should have thought of that. It'll save an embarrassingly high number of hits on the website link Jan     https://peteatkin.com/forum?board=offtopic&action=display&num=1190051854&start=3#3     Pages: 1    Start of Thread | Latest Post Reply | Notify of replies | Send Thread | Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Pete Atkin -----------------------------  - News   - Newsletter   - Gigs   - *oDs   - Music   - Words   - Chums   - Shrinks   - Members ----------------------------- Not Pete Atkin -----------------------------=> Off-topic ----------------------------- Atkin admin -----------------------------  - Atkin FAQ   - Forum FAQ   - Tech Return to Top « Previous thread | Next thread »
