It seems that you simply don’t have mplayer installed. Install mplayer and see if the error persists.

Hello,
I am having an error on Ubuntu 10.04.
It is like this:

sacimud@sacimud-desktop:~$ radio.py BBC3

@Roni: Take a look at the 7th line from the bottom

>Server returned 500:Internal Server Error

It seems that the Galatz server has some errors occasionally, so it doesn’t seem to be a radio.py bug.

I’ll see if it’s possible to make radio.py retry playing a station if there is some error.

Guy,
First I must say that your code is wonderfully clear.
Your patch is working well, but some time it fails:

@Roni: I’ve posted an patch for radio.py 0.5 in http://www.guyrutenberg.com/2008/11/12/radiopy-station-list-patch/ that fixes the urls of Galgalatz, Galatz and Radius. Apply the patch and it should fix the problem. Please comment if you encounter further problems.
