Try to right click on your station, then copy url (Copy URL menu item). Then 
run Totem player, and put your url there.

Can you hear sound after this actions?

seems like shoutcast starts to feed new xml format... digging out..

Shoutcast servers block most clients from downloading from its servers:

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

python:

import gio
f=gio.File('http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/newxml.phtml')
f.read().read()

well, the first command says something resolved, but not sure what to do with 
the rest of that. Shoutcast still empty atm

• Changed title: SHOUTcast servers stops to respond to console utilitys
• Changed state: Accepted

[GoogleCodeExporter]

check content what you got by "wget" command - its empty.

it is shoutcast server problem / new restriction.

lets wait and see where they want to go...

even the fake agent code don't works:

import urllib

o=urllib.FancyURLopener({})
o.version="Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.13) 
Gecko/20101203 Firefox/3.6.13 GTB7.1"
f=o.open("http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/newxml.phtml")

• Changed title: SHOUTcast 2.0 API
• Added labels: Priority-Critical
• Removed labels: Priority-Medium

I did some updates to the code and got it working again!

One minor downside... you need a developer apikey from AOL.  To me, this is a 
minor inconvenience, but once setup seems to be working quite well.

I have attached instructions for getting the API key and plugging it into the 
gconf editor, as well as a diff of the sourcecode.
