How to Play Streaming Radios with Python and/or Pygame?

[ekianjo]

I'm trying to find a simple way to play streaming radios (shoutcast streams, for example) using Python with or without Pygame. I went on stackoverlow and github to try to find some examples but there's not much help available there, unfortunately.


Anyone here has an idea on how to do that ? (decoding a PLS file is not the problem, my problem is how to play the stream in itself)

You could use mplayer as a backend for python to play the stream.

You could take a look at this RadioTray app http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=radiotray.freamon.40n8e

I already have the source for this app. I need to dive into it a little more... I was just wondering what is the most straightforward way to do that with a few lines of code.
