Icecast Player

Bravo as this app is unique being dedicated to icecast. Major issues are: Search feature keyword results are problematic. Query "college" = 1 result. Same query on icecast website = dozens of results. If you return to the list while listening the stream is broken. Need a better way to scroll through the HUGE genre list, it contains many cryptic names & requires massive swipes to go through. These improvements would serve all well, limited search results being the most critical. Thank you!

Crashed when I tried to use it. Don't bother.

Perfect. Just works. Exactly what I expected.

Seems quite good. Would be great if you could beam to Chromecast. Or have I just missed something...

The interface needs a lot of work. Need a way to be able to edit or delete a favorite station.

It plays music great, but doesn't pause when i got incoming call.

it's not getting five stars because if you try to load a station that is not there it will simply loop forever with a "Loading station..." popover that never ever goes away,even if you change the station to one that is working,you have to turn it off and on again.other than this stupid bug it's a good app and sometimes works better than the revered vlc

Does what it says, plays icecast & custom audio streams, low resource usage, no ads. Would be 5 stars if supported background play and playlists.

Can't get it to do anything..

App worked once. Upon 2nd use it stopped at 34% during the station update and app crashed. Cleared app and reloaded now will do nothing. Even search function always comes back with "no results found :(" appears app has not been updated for 10+ months. I would consider this app abandoned by author.

This 'tuner' is ok, but it could be great with a few minor tweaks. It's a pity that a large proportion of the stations in the list don't work. Perhaps someone needs to go through the list to delete those that don't work? An annoying bug is that a Loading station... alert box displays at the bottom of the listen page when you select a station, but this alert box doesn't go away if a station fails to download or you return back to the station list. Why not include a Cancel station download button on the play screen? Alternatively, the Loading station... alert should turn off automatically if you return to the station list. In my experience, if a station hasn't downloaded within 20 seconds, it's never going to download so I think the app should display cannot play station sooner. There are better 'tuners' out there - TuneIn, Shoutcast (on Winamp player - not available on Play Store, but you can still find it), Live 365 are all better, but this is still worth having

Endlich kann ich Hirschmilch Radio auch auf dem Handy hören - wobei Klang und Stabilität sogar besser sind, da leiert mal grad gar nichts auf dem Handy mit dem Icecast-Player! Die Ladezeiten sind identisch mit dem Icecast von VLC auf dem PC.

And the app will not work until the stations are initialized. ugh.

Never got to try it.

Thank you. Excellent work.

Works fine

Uninstalled within minutes. Couldn't even load the app at all

Super easy to add streams. Request, can you please find a way to keep the stream playing while the screen is off? Also, i've yet to find an app that will stream when you've changed windows. If it had those two features, itd be 4 stars. But leaving the screen on the entire time im listening and only being able to listen while the app is open on the screen is impractical.

That in itself is worth 5 stars. Simple and clean interface. Could use stream metadata information and update but other than that, it works for me! Thank you so much. Look forward to more from this app. EDIT: looks like on my droid mini the stream doesn't actually stop when you hit pause, this could spell disaster for those with limited data plans.

It streams Icecast stations for free. I don't get all these bad reviews. I like it.

Would like it if it showed the current song being played. Would be a nice feature. No problems so far, though

Title says it all.

As soon as it said "this app requires no permissions" I loved it.

After taking 3 hours to finish installing, I added my URL and it works. They report as 0 kbps but that's not as important. Persistent notification when playing would be nice.

good lookin client

the interface is terrible, and the flexibility is nonexistant

+ takes too long to load stations at initial startup + music stops everytime player is minimized

I would have kept it except for the fact that I was unable to turn the app off. Even after I had closed it and even closed it in the task manager the music kept playing. Once I thought I had shut it down and about a half hour later the music started playing until, I finally uninstalled the app. Maybe I just don't know how to use it.

True! It hangs at processing file, freezes in the background. Couldn't get past it. Seriously: Add URL, adjust buffer, play music. What's so difficult

Don't see any way to add a custom URL to listen to.
