Some radio streams choppy when Shoutcast title enabled

[goosebump]

Hi I'm having an issue where some radio streams play very choppy when I have the setting turned on to enable Shoutcast title support.

Here's an example of one:

I did find an old winamp forum post about this that said it's an issue that can be caused by firewalls so I tried turning mine off to test but it didn't seem to make any difference.

If anyone knows a solution for this I'd really appreciate the help! I can live without the titles on if I have to but it would still be nice to have if possible haha.

From a quick look, it's not a proper SHOUTcast provided stream & is using a custom server based on what it's reported as being.
That probably is why things are acting up but I've been out of that scene for too long now that I don't know who/what it would relate to & if there's any workarounds (e.g. url parameters that can be set).

I can't seem to get the stream to start playing irrespective of the in_mp3 plug-in settings as it just seems to hang & does nothing else. Replacing that plug-in since it's one of the last ones from Winamp 5.666 that I'm re-using is a goal for this year but I don't have an eta on when it'll be done. As I strongly suspect the issues seen are down to a combination of that plug-in & the server & they're not talking in the expected manner.

Sorry to say I don't have anything obvious I can do to get it working for you other than what you've already tried if that's working for you.
