Playing an mp3 stream with gstreamer

[microsnakey]

I am totally new to python and linux and want to receive an mp3 stream and play it.
Would gstreamer be the best for this, Is they any easier libraries to use

This is my code atm

Code: Select all

	
        player = gst.element_factory_make("playbin2","player")
	url = 'htttp://mp3channels.webradio.antenne.de/chillout'
	player.set_property('uri',url)
	player.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)
	glib.MainLoop().run()

Thanks

Infact using the official code its not even working.
Any other alternatives

Right I used pygame to play my mp3, I can play local mp3's but I can't play a stream. Anyway around this?

Got it working using ffmpeg but It is majorly distorted with a lot of crackles.

Anyone know why

The error I get in my terminal is

Code: Select all

ALSA lib pcm.c:7339:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occured0B f=0/0

I have the same problem too using qmmp (Winamp clone for X-windows) I'm getting ALSA buffer underruns using the PI sound chip.
I find this odd because a) qmmp is using about 14% CPU load to stream shoutcast audio and b) I have no such buffer underruns using my USB audio dongle.

I think Rasbian wheezy audio support is broken somehow.

Thanks it sometimes works fine but then when a buffer underrun hits it goes all crackly and pops. I am wondering if it raspbian's fault or maybe it actually needs buffering from the internet with ffplay, I am unsure if it does it by itself

I think perhaps it's raspbian's fault, cause I get the same crackling when using ogg123 (from vorbis-tools) and playing from a file on the SD card. I also get an ALSA error message.
