* I had a file on repeat (song) but it wasn't indefinite after all, playback finished with a message stating as much, after 672 plays. Or could it have stopped for other reasons? Clicking play resumed normally. Similarly with "repeat playlist": two files played 251 times, then stopped.
* If TN settings have "minimal gui" and you start with "TuneNet -nogui" it apparently crashes every time or often. So use Standard or SkinFX.
* some plugins don't coexist but make TN crash. For example XMP with UADE.
* iconifying in any way from the standard window with "Tune" tab active is not safe. It freezes very often (playback continues though, a remote stream can continue indefinitely).

Is there some way I can keep TN GUI off when starting the program? Because it always opens the window then closes it, when it should not open it in the first place. I guess it just throws an error if I try to force the issue by making a broken installation.

My biggest problem with tunenet is when you do a search of a large playlist and get what you want to hear, it doesn't play the next track in the search results but the next one in the original playlist. very annoying...

I have a problem with TuneNet too. While it was playing a stream, I loaded up Annotate but it was unable to use the pull-down menus, actually this is happening in every program you run after TuneNet.

Is it only me? Both the patched version and the unpatched version 0.92.58 doesn't stream any stream at all anymore. The patched version from TheAmigaOne (http://amigaworld.net/modules/newbb/v ... wmode=flat&order=0#662605) still shows the list of shoutcast streams, though.
Ah, thanks, that was the right hint. It seems to be a general problem. I just tried to open streams from the scan list with Audacious - same problem. Out of 100 stations listed only two will play and stream with Audacious or TuneNet. Hmpf. What's going on here? At Audacious - fresh ported - should be able to stream...
No there doesn't, but somebody could theoretically write one (it would be a re-write of the AIFF plugin). Might be tricky though, as TuneNet does not have any concept of CDs, so you might end up with irrelevant CDDB info being picked up when playing AIFFs (I can think of ways to mitigate this though)

I'm not quite sure what might be the problem here, but AmigaAmp is playing all streams i tried (that refused earlier) with classic perfection.
Maybe AmigaAmp is accessing the streams different? Even the flaky stream i mentioned is picked up from the very first ip and played hours on end...i NEVER before had such a stable radio streaming perfomance...i'll stay with AmigaAmp, it's ROCK SOLID and has some nice features too
I suppose you may have noticed UADE plugin and XMP plugin are too big for one T(ow)N. I at least didn't want to have more than one TuneNet installed, so I use the following script to temporarily use XMP plugin:
if exists "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`"
if exists "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Plugins/TN_UADE.tnplug"
set uade_on TRUE
rename "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Plugins/TN_UADE.tnplug" "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Disabled Plugins/" quiet
endif
if not exists "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Plugins/XMP.tnplug"
if not exists "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Disabled Plugins/XMP.tnplug"
echo "XMP plugin not found, looked in 'Disabled Plugins' and 'Plugins'."
quit
else
rename "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Disabled Plugins/XMP.tnplug" "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Plugins/" quiet
endif
else
"`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/TuneNet"
if $uade_on eq TRUE
if exists "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Disabled Plugins/TN_UADE.tnplug"
rename "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Disabled Plugins/TN_UADE.tnplug" "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Plugins/" quiet
endif
endif
quit
endif
"`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/TuneNet"
rename "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Plugins/XMP.tnplug" "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Disabled Plugins/" quiet
if $uade_on eq TRUE
if exists "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Disabled Plugins/TN_UADE.tnplug"
rename "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Disabled Plugins/TN_UADE.tnplug" "`getenv AppDir/TuneNet`/Plugins/" quiet
endif
endif
else
echo "TuneNet not found, possibly never started."
endif
Anyone tried to get hold of the author of tunenet lately? Would be nice if he could give the sources to someone who could improve it. Its a good music player.
