Hi everyone,

Thanks for this great site and the great amount of information and modified firmwares posted here.

Now, regarding the issue with the SHOUTcast genres list catching. It seems that the AOL has changed their shoutcast API (to v.2.0) and that's why it is not working in our Penbex boxes since December last year.

This is what I've found in one another forum regarding the shoutcast service:
http://forum.wdlxtv.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=2822


Normally our boxes are accessing the following url to get the list of genres:

http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/newxml.phtml

We should try to change it to the following new address:

http://api.shoutcast.com/legacy/genrelist?k=so1N15vhCB78Z6k4

and don't forget to replace the "?" at the end by a "&" if present.

Ex.:
file_get_contents('http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/newxml.phtml?' . $prmType . '=' . $prmValue);

would be
file_get_contents('http://api.shoutcast.com/legacy/genrelist?k=so1N15vhCB78Z6k4&' . $prmType . '=' . $prmValue);

Apparently the key code should be changed as well, it is model-dependent.

Now is there a simple way to modify and patch the existing firmware easily? I can try at my home network with DNS spoofing and apply some sort of redirection so that the request/responses will be handled properly. But I prefer to patch the source files directly in the firmware, can you help?

Hello,

 

I´ve got the following problem with my WATSON:

It´s not possible to receive the radio-station “Schlager Time” (service not available). I also can´t receive any Genre by SHOUTCast.

What could be the problem due to this? The following software is installed on my WATSON:

F/W Ver: 2.0.0. puP Ver: 0x25

OS-Ver: KW-1004-2.0.0.14 beta, build 07/09/09 – 1258

I´ve indeed installed the modified firmware KW-1004-2.0.0.15, but it´s the Ver: 2.0.0.14 beta being displayed.

Thanks for helping,

 

Best regards, Erich W.

You are correct about the version. I made a mistake and thats why it does not display 2.0.0.15. Sorry for that.

The shoutcast part is still working over the official Penbex server. Unfortunately they seem to have closed this service down.
I will take a look and see if it can be fixed.

I tested "Schlager Time" and it is working here. The stream URL is up-to-date and has not changed during the last 2 years or so. Is it possible they were just not transmitting when you tried and can you try again to see if it works now?

Best Regards,
William
