If this were a Kickstarter project, I would contribute too.

Who am I? A data point.

The ebook RunRevPlanet LiveCode Tips has some comments on the Goodman books. http://downloadbranch.com/rrpLiveCode-Tips-eBook.pdf "Not all old HyperCard books are worthwhile, in the late 1980's some publishing houses churned out books of questionable value and quality to cash in on “Hyper” fever, so...

There's some factor at work I don't understand. Starting with the simple proof of concept as described above, I developed a series of more elaborate but still working stacks, until I made one that wouldn't work, no matter how I tweaked it. I compared the new stack to the earlier stacks to see what I...

Thanks. It's working now. A search for info on Firefox and MIME types indirectly led to the revelation that you can set Firefox to be the default browser from within Firefox's Preferences. I did so, and set Firefox as the default app for HTML for good measure. Now LiveCode will launch Firefox. Thank...

87 people have viewed this thread so far, with no responses. I'm guessing no one who's seen this can answer the question. But is that because... 1. The same thing happens to you, and you don't know what to do about it? or 2. It never happens to you? If the latter, are you running some version of Lin...

I should add that I have a Python script that correctly calls Firefox as the default browser.

On two different installations of Ubuntu 13.04, I've found that LiveCode 6 always calls Google Chrome with "launch url", never Firefox. I've set Firefox to be the default browser in any number of ways, including the official one from the command line. LiveCode still calls Chrome. I've gone as far as...

sturgis, I would like to see your code. Thanks.

That's pretty much what I came up with too, minus the button to kill mplayer, plus a field where you could paste in a streaming URL to play. Works fine. I agree, the project now seems feasible. None of the rest of it should tax LiveCode.

Funny thing -- when I got home tonight, I opened the stack I was working on, which had a player already named with an audio stream from last night, and the stream started playing instantly, without my doing another thing.

You guys aren't telnetting into my development box, are you?

Thanks for the extra details (suppressing messages and so on). I will look into them. The differences so far might arise from using different distros, or different versions of the same distro. The important thing to me is that now I can reasonably expect some variant of what's been suggested to work...

Hi wsamples, Yeah, I know. Didn't you read the part of my original post where I wrote, "And since these URLs are really playlists, I've tried playing the URLs within the playlists as well"? I was never able to get one of these internal URLs to work, either, but I'm not sure I tried one after install...

Thanks, Mark. That's actually quite helpful. It sounds as though it would bear experimenting with the various other formats provided by both sites (and other sites, as well). I guess the one thing about this enterprise I really still want to know is, are there any documented instances of the Linux v...

Hi, LiveCode sees a website, no matter whether you think it is a website or not. The problem with Linux (still) is that you need to use a combination of tools to get something done. The good thing with LiveCode is that it allows you to build a nice GUI for all those bits and pieces. It sounds like ...

Hi all, Thanks for your responses so far. I'm sorry I wasn't clear when I asked for help. I am interested in LiveCode as a way to create an all-in-one alarm clock app. I already have a solution cobbled together out of KAlarm, shell and Perl scripts, Gambas 3, cvlc, and moc. I don't need LiveCode as ...
