Is there a way to play streams which need a username/password?
I usually listen all over the day streams from Digital-Imported (di.fm) with my account there. To listen a stream, I háave to submit a username and password for a stream. But if I try to listen to this stream, amarok ask my for username and password but nothing happens...
xmms for example works fine with such streams

Take a look at this bug report, I think it's talking about the same thing, and consider voting / adding a comment:

I would like to implement support for password protected streams, but I'm not sure how this works, and I can't test it either (don't have access to such a stream). So, any detailed technical info is appreciated.

THX for the answer
To help you, I captured the autorization process of xmms with ethereal and post the relevant part here:

GET / HTTP/1.1.
Host: 81.92.166.22.
User-Agent: xmms/1.2.10.
Authorization: Basic

I hope, this will help you. If not, feel free to contact me!

Hi.

I think your problem is that you have the option "Display Shoutcast metadata" enabled.
I'm using DI.fm all day without problems when I disable that option.

The thing is that password protected streams DOES work with amarok, only that metadata doesn't.

However, I wrote a patch so that amarok supports metadata over password protected streams as well:

[code:1]
diff amarok-1.0.1/amarok/
src/titleproxy/titleproxy.cpp amarok-1.0.1-patched/amarok/src/titleproxy/titleproxy.cpp
22a23
> #include
145a147,148
> QCString username = m_url.user().utf8();
> QCString password = m_url.pass().utf8();
154c157,160
< "Accept-Language: de, en\r\n\r\n";
---
> "Accept-Language: de, en\r\n"
> "Authorization: Basic " +
> KCodecs::base64Encode(username + ":" + password) +
> "\r\n\r\n";
[/code:1]

Could we get this into CVS, please?

well, the formatting of the code #¤¤!$

Anyway, I'll send the patch by email or something instead.

great! After disabling the option, di.fm works! thanks for the tip.
