Your hardware platform and model you are running on:

RaspberryPi 2 (B+?)

Python release (python2 --version):

Python 2.7.9

Description of problem: Playback fails on some radio stations and on some systems. Eg "play triple j radio" works fine but "play nova 1069 radio" gets stuck on my system.

Steps to reproduce: In python

1. import tunein
2. tunein_parser = tunein.TuneIn(5000)
3. tunein_parser.parse_stream_url("http://streaming.novaentertainment.com.au/nova1069") Function never returns (or takes exceptionally long)

^c produces same traceback each time:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "tunein.py", line 308, in parse_stream_url
    playlist, content_type = self._get_playlist(url)
  File "tunein.py", line 55, in _memoized
    value = func(*args)
  File "tunein.py", line 386, in _get_playlist
    data = resp.content.decode('utf-8', errors='ignore')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/models.py", line 724, in content
    self._content = bytes().join(self.iter_content(CONTENT_CHUNK_SIZE)) or bytes()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/models.py", line 653, in generate
    for chunk in self.raw.stream(chunk_size, decode_content=True):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/urllib3/response.py", line 256, in stream
    data = self.read(amt=amt, decode_content=decode_content)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/urllib3/response.py", line 186, in read
    data = self._fp.read(amt)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 602, in read
    s = self.fp.read(amt)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 380, in read
    data = self._sock.recv(left)

Looks like network timeout. How long is "exceptionally long"?

[dgonano]

renekliment had 3 minutes, mine never returns (>2.5 hours). Not sure how long to leave it...

[renekliment]

Yeah, this is something we need to solve. I haven't really looked into the tunein.py yet, so I don't have ideas (yet). One way or another, we have to implement a real timeout so it doesn't block our code no matter what.

I've just tried link above, http://streaming.novaentertainment.com.au/nova1069, and it won't open in my browser. I can only see spinner in my Firefox tab...

It works for me in Chrome.

@lechat works for me in safari and chrome, I don't have firefox.

Tried again, now it works ok. Hmm...
