Mediabox used to have a list of internet radio stations by genre available. Now all I get when I go to the "Music/Shoutcast" shortcut, is a message that says "genre list unavailable".

What's up? Was it deleted intentionally by the program?

(BTW, where is the app-specific link in the forums? I can't find a damn thing about this app anywhere except posts from 2008.)

Look into the announce thread for mediabox. I fixed this problem.

Thank you for the link, but I have no idea how to even begin such an operation described there.

Will there be an update to the application that includes this fix, then? That would be very welcome.

download this file (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=636) to your n900 main directory
then with xterm :

Code:

sudo gainroot
mv /home/user/MyDocs/ShoutcastDirectory.pyo /home/user/meidabox/shoutcast_directory/

I don't know, if this fix will be included in an updated package,
because I am not the maintainer or developer.
Maybe pycage will have a look at this. This is only a workaround
of mine.

Ok thanks for the help, I'll ask again if I have any trouble with this. I really miss being ableto choose from all the shoutcast streams from within mediabox!

I came back to report that I can't get this fix to work. Xterm is reporting that the file or directory (from the first line of code) is not found.

I put the extracted file in MyDocs and entered the code as you have it (except you misspelled "mediabox", yes?)

I had the same problem with mediabox and gave up. I think it was abandened so now its a total mess. Ended up installing radiotimetogo and have been very pleased. Give it a try.
