Rix FM MMS Stream on Sony PSP
Posted by lars | Filed under Gadgets, Music, Personal, Playstation
Phew. That was a MAJOR pain in the ass. After going through all different kinds of solutions including the homebrews (PSPRadio and another one) and using the custom internet radio..and TVersity… and trying to transcode with VLC I finally….FINALLY got it to work.
My mission was simple, get the mms:// (windows media) stream of Rix FM to work on my Sony PSP (running the latest firmware). I really didn’t think it would take me like 10 hours :) What I am now using is Orb running on a virtualized XP install on my Mac Mini. Man alive..the freaking things you do so that your girl can listen to her favourite radio in the mornings…and for us not to having to shelve out for an internet radio.
Things would be SO much easier if stupid Rix FM would just go Shoutcast instead of RETARD windows media for their stream.
Update: I can soon get rid of running Orb in a virtual environment since an OS X version is around the corner
