Did you know you can also add "m3u" to those mime extension settings and that should allow m3u files to be accessed also?
The -p5 is a switch for the playing priority. If left out it will use the priority level set in the GUI.
Also, did you also know TuneNet can open MP3 files directly from the web without having to download them all first? Use the Open URL requester and paste the URL link of the MP3 file.

Hi Bean,
WOW!
That seems to me to be an advanced feature, and what we need is definitely more advanced features.
Support Amiga Fantasy cases!!! How to program: 1. Start with lots and lots of 0's. 10. Add 1's, liberally. "Details for OS 5 will be made public in the fourth quarter of 2007, ..." - Bill McEwen Whoah!!! He spoke, a bit late.

Uhh, thanks for the hints, updated...
This MP3 thingie, would it be possible to incorporate this with the browser? So that when i click the mp3/ogg link, it will be "streamed"? Should be possible through PIPE, i already tried it with P setting in AWeb, unfortunately it didn?t find the file name for obvious reasons, AWeb wasn?t done with downloading

Can i request this?
Well there is only one way I know to get this working in AWeb without AWeb downloading the whole track first, and that is with a the popup menu when you hover over a link.
In AWeb do the following:
1/ Go to GUI Prefs. 2/ Move to the "Pop Up" tab (4th one) 3/ Select "Link" from the Type selector. 4/ Click "Add". 5/ For the Title type "TuneNet it!" 6/ for the command type: SYSTEM pathtotunenet/TuneNet -stream %u
(Replace the pathtotunenet with own path to the TuneNet exe)
7/ Press save (not sure if you have to restart AWeb).
Then go to a direct MP3 link and right click over the link and select the "TuneNet It!" option.
NOTE: It only works with MP3 files. Streams for other plugin types will come in a future update.
I think Andy Broad may have added some additional support in the next version of AWeb. We'll have to wait and see.
Perhaps you can do something similar with IBrowse as well.
Whilst I'm here there are a couple of other things you can do with TuneNet you may not be aware of:
1/ If you add the following to the Screen Title Format within OS4's Workbench Prefs
Music : %e TuneNet/playing (%e TuneNet/status )
You should be able to see what is playing on the Workbench Title bar.
2/ If you have a multimedia keyboard you can use the tapedeck keys with the "AllKeys" program and control TuneNet from the keyboard.
Use the following commands:
For the Play Button: run >nil: TuneNet:TuneNet -restarttune
Stop: run >nil: TuneNet:TuneNet -stoptune
Previous Tune: run >nil: TuneNet:TuneNet -prevtune
Next Tune: run >nil: TuneNet:TuneNet -nexttune
There are more CLI controls, just do a TuneNet ? to find them.
3/ Within TuneNet you can use the cursor keys to scroll through the list, and space to select a tune.
If you are searching through songs with the find bar within TuneNet press return when you see your song, and then use the cursor keys/space to play it.

Nope, there is another way too, and you gave me the last piece of info i needed
Put this into AWeb and you got streaming playback of MP3 files (although it takes around 50 to 70k download of the file here with my ADSL connection until the playback starts. PIPE slowness and XFade, i suppose?

(Can be enhanced with deamon browser nogui etc.)
You don't want to do that
You have just passed a url to Tunenet to stream, whilst telling AWeb to send it's downloaded output to a PIPE: If you are using AWeb 3.5.08 this will promptly lockup as the pipe will simply fill up, and AWeb will wait for it to be read from.
The latest dev build of AWeb is more intelligent about that, but your still doing two downloads one for AWeb one for Tunenet. Worse you using up memeory by writing to a pipe that will never be emptied.
Since I know you got the latest build, try using the Extl NoFecth Option.
This is the new feature in AWeb that allows you pass the url over to Tunenet and cancel the AWeb fetch.
If you wanted to use the Extl w/PIPE you should use %f not %u as this will be set to the PIPE: filename. But I think Tunenet has problems with pipes, (unless that been worked on since Bean and I discussed this).
@Bean and All Thanks for the help, I have reconfigured Ibrowse and will do AWeb shortly. However, it appears when I run settings in Ibrowse/General/Mime Types, there is no selection box against the Actions. I thinks this has already been reported in the "bugs" thread. I'll play around with MUI to ensure I have selected the correct action.
