Sony PSP

I have a PSP wit PSPRadio and am streaming my personal audio files over from the wl-hdd. I searched in vain for a icecast.shoutcast server for wl-hdd, but then just ended using httpd to stream mp3 files over wl-hdd wifi and it seems to work just fine. Install the httpd ipk, put your mp3 files into the httpd www directory, start the service, and then edit your PSPRadio playlist file (stoed int he papradio playlist folder) to point to your wl-hdd ip and port and mp3 file. It will sream the mp3 to your PSPRadio nicely without the shoutcast server. I think eventually a dedicated shoutcast server would be better as it transmits a true stream with metadata info.

hey! thats good news to me! have some questions.
where can i get httpd ipk? are you using oleg's firmware? if not, is it possible to install and run the httpd ipk in oleg cause im running oleg right now. or do you mean any httpd server such as thttpd?

thanks for the good news!

btw, can you send me or just post here the sample format of the pspradio playlist file using your kind of setup. thanks again.

i tried just now but the sound is like as if they were singing like chipmunks, and lots of noiseclicks. could it be my playlist file is incorrect. i created 2 sample files:

1)
[playlist]
File1=http://192.168.11.220:81/jukebox/Trashcan%20Sinatras/Ive%20Seen%20Everything/06%20-%20Killing%20The%20Cabinet.mp3
Title1=Killing the cabinet
Length1=-1
numberofentries=1
Version=2

2)
http://192.168.11.220:81/jukebox/Tra...asy%20Read.mp3

both of these playlists worked but, as ive said, its not listenable. could you please share me your playlist file or just a sample format. thanks.

Your playlist looks ok. It can work without the %20 (spaces) As for high-pitch, my guess is that your source audio sample rate might be at 48khz rather than 44khz. See if that is true or resample and do a test. Do your audio files work withing PSP radio when placed in the PSP music/ folder and played back with PSPRadio file mode? Also make sur eyou ahve the latest PSPRadio, at least 37 final, I am using 38.03

A portion of my playlist.

i downgraded to 1.5 and it works fine now. so its probably the ebootloader + pspradio combo is not good for mp3 streaming via http. i was using 0.37 version in 2.0 . i encounter the same problem in 1.5 if i load pspradio in file assistant. so it could be a memory problem. loading pspradio directly from the psp game menu works fine though. thank you so much for the info.

btw, i can also create playlist on the fly! because i have zina mp3 server installed in wl-hdd too. although i have to run other homebrew programs to do that such as portalvnc (for web access via pc), url2psp (auto-download pls/m3u to psp), file assistant (to move pls/m3u to pspradio playlist folder). a pc is still needed for this though.

i think fw 2.0 is the ideal setup because it has a browser built-in. then using file assistant (it also works in 2.0 using ebootloader) to move the playlist file. only problem is pspradio doesnt work properly for this setup, based on my experience. maybe 0.38 could work on this. will try that out when i decided to go back to 2.0 again. i'll be using 1.5 for the meantime.

thanks again for this info. my wl-hdd project (mp3 streaming) is successful!

Finally succes!!!

Now running 2.6 on the PSP and 1.9.5.0 on the WL500G.

First tried WPA-PSK with AES and this worked with the internet browser in the PSP.

BUT THEN.... we tried to run "fifa2006" the connection failed and only WEP could be selected....

I do not understand why 1 game overrules the basic settings. ??!!??

But then we set the router to WEP and everything works fine!


Thanx for the advice!

Try running Peldet on PSP (telnet client) and install the lynx ipkg browser on wl-hdd. Run peldet, login to wl-hdd and launch the lynx browser. You can easily navigate the web-page to make playlist configurations, then use wget command to download, then use file assistant to move the file around on the PSP. I havent tried this yet, but it should work. This way you don't need a pc running or a psp 2.0 browser.

hey purify! thanks again for the wonderful idea. will try that. although i just recently upgraded to openwrt and theres no lynx package available (even the nico packages). maybe i should create the package myself. anyways, thanks again.

btw, i tried pspradio again in 2.0 firmware. it works fine now. i can browse mp3s thru web browser. use file assistant to move the file and thats it. but im on 1.5 now so cant do that.

OK... you got MP3s Streaming... how about this.....

PiMPStreamer - PMP Stream for PSP
http://www.geocities.com/dickydick1969/

PMP is a Video codec for PSP.

Info is on the website. Or is this impossible ? (Because it needed software installed on the Server ie the WL-HDD)
There are only 5 files that are needed. There is no Install it just run an exe.. But you will need an OS.. anyway of trying to incorporate into the firmware ?


Cheers

have tried pimpstreamer a few days ago. one of the best homebrew apps. havent tried mp3s though. the server runs only in windows so its not possible in wl-hdd unless the author (or someone else) ports it to linux or its variants.
