Looks like it broke. Fixing for next release. Beta 4 the fields were changed to inherit from web address, which doesn't work well for this usage as it needs the protocol which web address fields strip. Needs to go back to inheriting from normal text field and looks like our jQuery plugin for the streaming isn't working too great so will need to investigate that too.

Update: Ok, was able to resolve. You can quickfix using the below.

Please also note you need to provide valid streaming URLs for the streaming sources. An example of a valid streaming source is as follows.

192.240.102.5:7025/;

Shoutcast URLs require the /; for the streaming source to be returned. I've tested working with the above URL and a dozen others from Shoutcast as working. Your URL should begin with a protocol (e.g. http://).

have two things occuring, first the stream is not working in beta 5

You have to provide valid streaming URLs. See my example URL above, which is working fine in Beta 5. Shoutcast streaming URLs for example must have the ";" at the end otherwise you're just accessing a normal website and not the streaming site. This is the case for multiple streaming services (they've URLs specifically for streaming). I can not guarantee every streaming URL will work. You'll need to provide what streaming URL isn't working for you specifically so I can see what format it may need to be in (you can PM me this URL if you don't want it public).

Fatal error: Cannot access static:: when no class scope is active in /home/++++++/public_html/libraries/CBLib/CBLib/Language/Pluralization.php on line 53

Please provide Joomla version and PHP version.

PHP Version 5.3.26

Yup, that'd be the cause. Please see Beats post below where a quickfix solution has been provided.

In the beta 5, I have used the url I have had for a while and then tested it with the one you posted, when I try to load it I get this error:

That shouldn't be the case. I've just tested again the below URL and it's still working fine. You need to have a protocol so it should begin with at least http://, which is valid for IP Addresses.


get_headers function is used on the supplied URL to grab the content type for the URL. The streaming site has to send correct headers for an audio source. If it doesn't or the URL can't be reached then you'll get that error. Be sure to test with debug mode enabled and maximum error reporting set as a fatal PHP error maybe breaking this behavior.
