icecast / shoutcast plugin for netscape (05-24-99) use at your own risk!

GQmpeg requires mpg123 0.59pre-p or later to work with shoutcast mpg123 0.59o WILL NOT WORK!

• copy gqmpeg-shoutcast-plugin.sh somewhere (probably being in your path is a good idea), make sure it is executable!
• in netscape, do this:
  1. open the preferences dialog (edit menu)
  2. go to navigator->applications
  3. click the New... button
  4. for Description enter Shoutcast (or anything you want to call this)
  5. for MIMEType enter audio/x-scpls
  6. For Suffixes, enter pls
  7. Under 'handled by' choose application
  8. in the application field enter "gqmpeg-shoutcast-plugin.sh %s" (no quotes) (if the plugin is not in your path, specify the plugin's exact location)
  9. select ok to close the dialog, then ok to close the preferences window
• now, when a server is clicked on the icecast.org ,shoutcast.com, or many other live mp3 streaming lists, gqmpeg should open and play the stream.. Well it might..
• for .m3u files, do the same as above, but for MIMEType put audio/x-mpegurl and for Suffixes, enter m3u .
