Use a editor of your choice to edit the file...e.g. vi or leafpad
I suggest leafpad as its way easier!

For editing with leafpad enter in Xterm:

leafpad webradio.desktop

does this look ok?

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Terminal=true
Name=KVMV
Exec=/usr/bin/osso-xterm '/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer
/com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.mime_open string:"

Looks like there is a blank before http.. ("_http).
Remove this blank and make sure that the Exec command is in one line without break.
Then it should work!


EDIT: Sorry, just noted that your link goes to a webradio player...
But you need to use a link to a media stream...

EDIT2: Check the source of the link you used. There you find this link: http://kvmv.streamon.fm/play/KVMV-64k-168-1.html
And there you find several media streaming links that should work!

OK, got this working. Very Kewl!

My Favorite shoutcast server is the one streaming FOX Business channel off Directv in my house!

Here's the Icon I used, looks pretty kewl to me at least.

The Icon is 48x48 and looks great.

Thanks for this guys, it was just what I was looking for. Any way to make it so that media player opens in the background, or make it so you end up back at the desktop? This way, if you setup multiple shortcuts to different stations, you could just quickly switch between all of them right from the desktop.

I can now see the icon but when I click on it xterm pops up for a brief moment then disappears but nothing happens. Is this likely to be a problem with the stream url.

Can you try this url in your file to see if it will work
http://kvmv.streamon.fm/stream/KVMV-64k.mp3

You need to pay attention to the post that suggested making a simple shell script as the exec line. I did that and there is no xterm POP up. Just opens the stream in the media player.

>>>
When you click on your new icon / shortcut a xterm window will appear for a second before media player starts playing your webradio...
<<<

I don't get it to play anyway so shouldn't it play regardless of whether I create that script or not?

Well, you were mentioning you didn't want the xterm launch. You're going to get that the way you are doing it.

Post your code, if you want help on it.

Here's mine:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=1.0
Name=TurboNET
Comment=TurboNET Radio
Exec=sh /home/user/turbonet_radio.sh
Icon=shoutcast
Terminal=false
Name=TurboNET
Type=Application
X-HildonDesk-ShowInToolbar=true
X-Osso-Type=application/x-executable

See how simple it is.

#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.mime_open string:"http://xxxxxx.com:8000/listen.pls"
exit 0

Hi Cardiff-blues,

Attached you will find the .desktop file as well as the shell script.

Put
kvmv.desktop into /usr/share/applications/hildon
