So just to clarify, there isn't a bookmark file or anything I can edit to add streams without using Shoutcast, correct?

Well, it's not impossible. But it's not easy either. You could fake a SHOUTcast bookmark entry in /home/user/.mediabox/bookmarks

For reference, this is how the path is built:

Code:

    def __encode_station(self, name, bitrate, mimetype, resource, genre):

    

        s = "\t\t\t".join([name, bitrate, mimetype, resource, genre])

        return urlquote.quote(s, "")





    def __decode_station(self, s):

    

        data = urlquote.unquote(s)

        name, bitrate, mimetype, resource, genre = data.split("\t\t\t")

        return (name, bitrate, mimetype, resource, genre)

Let's say you want to have http://my.station.com/music.pls.

Name, bitrate, genre don't matter. MIME type could be "audio/mpeg".
Resource is the URL.
The fields are separated by 3 Tabulators, so you have something like:

Code:

MyStation\t\t\t128\t\t\taudio/mpeg\t\t\thttp://my.station.com/music.pls\t\t\tGENRE

This whole stuff gets URL-encoded (replacing URL-reserved characters by their hex code), so you'll get

Code:

MyStation%09%09%09128%09%09%09audio%2Fmpeg%09%09%09http%3A%2F%2Fmy.station.com%2Fmusic.pls%09%09%09GENRE

Add a prefix "iradio-shoutcast:///A/" and you have the complete path for a fake SHOUTcast station on the shelf:

Code:

iradio-shoutcast:///A/MyStation%09%09%09128%09%09%09audio%2Fmpeg%09%09%09http%3A%2F%2Fmy.station.com%2Fmusic.pls%09%09%09GENRE

However, the path encoding may change.
