OpCast
OpCast Audio Search
Description
This widget searches for internet radio stations on shoutcast.com. If you have ActiveX turned off on windows+winamp or just don't use windows this one might be helpful. Just type in what you are looking for, click on a result (or copy & paste the address in your favourite player). You can also search by genre, get some random stations or get a list of top stations. Some players open the links directly (like Winamp, amaroK,..) on some players you need to extract the url from the returned pls file (like xmms) if you like it complicated
.
Changes in 1.4: Minor fixes to make it work in Kestrel Builds (9.5)
Changes in 1.3: Some fixes + added line numbers
Changes in 1.2: Some enhancements (I hope
)
Changes in 1.1: Now it sends the results to opera by default. So if you have these files associated the stream will be opened immediately, if not opera will ask you what to do with it and you can choose your player as default application (this behaviour can be deactivated of course)

I hope it's fixed now.. let me know if not
It did fix it for a little while. Now I am back to getting the same error message. Any ideas?
I is the best)
awesome victory. That is the kind of widgets that are the most welcome NOW i use shoutcast The best is to configure opera to automatically open links with winamp. omg i've been using it 2 weeks or more and i'm stuck to it.
Sorry Odin365 but I can't reproduce it no more. I checked the top500 up and down plus several random stations without any errors... maybe the shoutcast servers behave strange sometimes, I have no clue
Great Widget! I use it every day. Quick question though. Is it possible to have a Favorites List or something of the sort? It would be nice to have a list of the most used stations, somthing like the top 10 list in opera. I don't know if this is already an option, but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks for your hard work, and for creating this widget. Cheers.
Really nice widget. I love it =)
Thanks a lot from Russia! It`s very, very nice!
Best widget out here. Congrats!
Is support for Icecast streams possible?
that's great!
Fantastic widget, works as stated! If you like internet radio, this is THEE widget to use!!! A++
fei; great widget..in fact i was downloading a security-updated ver of REAL PLAYER, and checking out what they have to offer. They do have radio stations, so I went to have a quick look. It is late here 2:45am, and I am tired and cranky... so I just clicked on a talk station - and 'VOILA"..that station started up = BUT NOT IN REAL PLAYER.. YOU GUESSED IT..IT STARTED AND IS STILL PLAYING - 2 HOURS LATER - IN YOUR NEAT WIDGET !!!@ I do wish there was a way to save a playlist.....or I guess I can make a Radio PlayList in REAL PLAYER and use that ??!! sunbirdbudz in Charleston SC USA
Noh.... pula mea. "'ra'ţi'ai-draq dă simpatici...
Hi. The first time I ran the widget on Opera 9.25, I was also busy at phone. May be I pressed automaticaly the enter button without paying atention to what I was being asked but the result is that when I select a station name on the widget, I obtain a page with plain text like this. [playlist] numberofentries=5 File1=http://64.62.194.11:8030 Title1=(#1 - 204/800) 1.FM - Blues Length1=-1 File2=http://66.220.3.50:8030 Title2=(#2 - 81/300) 1.FM - Blues Length2=-1 File3=http://64.62.252.130:9032 Title3=(#3 - 55/200) 1.FM - Blues Length3=-1 File4=http://38.99.107.34:8030 Title4=(#4 - 23/50) 1.FM - Blues Length4=-1 File5=http://64.62.252.130:8030 Title5=(#5 - 297/300) 1.FM - Blues Length5=-1 Version=2 I've tried to associate the pls file extension to winamp but it seems I don't succeed. Anybody knows how to manage this? Thanks in advance.
Must have been using a very old version before, but now clicks enqueue in winamp automatically. Thanks for the update!
Please help. I can't get this widget to work with Opera v9.50. It still searches and displays all the streams, but when you click on them it won't launch the specified application (Vlc player for me).
all is working thanks
i like it, thanks
Still doesn't work for me with Opera 9.62. Click on a station and nothing happens. Copy and paste into VLC player and nothing happens.
