Dutch Experimental IPv6 MP3 Stream Relay

Remco den Besten writes "In order to promote the IPv6 protocol, some Dutch enthousiasts deploy an IPv6 MP3 stream relay server. So, do something different with your IPv6 connectivity and listen to the streams offered! See & listen (both IPv4 and IPv6)."

"Lots and lots of dance and similar junk. I think I'm staying away from IPv6 for a while."

You can always request that they stream other stations. I personally am considering asking them to restream Radio Heart which is a radio station that plays all kinds of stuff. And I mean ALL kinds of stuff. Check it out.

Darn article descriptions

[TrekkieGod]

Although the description makes it sound otherwise, the streams are available only in IPv6. What is both in IPv4 and IPv6 is the page with the information about the stream.

There is a working M$ v6 kit now

now.. no one has any excuse not to use it..

Win XP IPv6 HOW-TO

Re:no excuses not to use IPv6

Q. How can I force IPv6 connections using my Web browser?

A.The new Internet extensions DLL, Wininet.dll, enables Web browsers to access IPv6-enabled Web servers. For example, Wininet.dll is used by Microsoft Internet Explorer to make connections with a Web server to view Web pages. Internet Explorer uses IPv6 to download Web pages when the Domain Name System (DNS) query (or hosts file) for the name of the Web server in the URL returns an IPv6 address. You can then connect to names that resolve only to IPv6. To verify that the DNS query returns IPv6 addresses, try to ping the Web server domain name using the Ping6.exe tool.

For applications other than Internet Explorer: Connect using a literal IPv6 address. URLs that use the format for literal IPv6 addresses described in RFC 2732, "Format for Literal IPv6 Addresses in URLs," are not supported by the version of Internet Explorer provided with Windows XP.

Note: Internet Explorer cannot browse IPv6 Web sites if it is configured to use a proxy server. When Internet Explorer is configured to use a proxy server, all name resolution requests for Web sites are forwarded to the proxy server. Until the proxy server is IPv6-enabled, proxy-based requests for local or remote IPv6 Web pages are unsuccessful. For information about how to configure Internet Explorer to operate without the use of a proxy server, see Internet Explorer Help.

when all else fails.. RTFM!!!!

I think that's overstating the matter somewhat.. the Windows 2000 patch only works on Service Pack one. Not two or three.

There's at least one excuse not to use it.

The government is backing IPv6 now, remember?

Re:cure some ignorance

[caouchouc]

Doesn't sending an IPv6 packet over a IPv4 tunnel still have the exact same flaws IPv4 has anyways?

Not really. People tunnel IP over ethernet all the time (got broadband? You're doing it right now), and it doesn't have all of ethernet's limitations.
IPv6 likewise retains its advantages over IPv4. It just uses v4 links as a transport mechansim much like v4 uses PPP/Ethernet/ATM/etc... Those IPv4 tunnels are just like any other link. You can route through them transparently and reach your IPv6 peers.

I mean ultimately you are either proxying off someone who has a IPv6 gateway or you are just wasting bandwidth over IPv4.

No need for a dedicated proxy; you just need to know who your peers are so you can fire packets down tunnels to them. Routing, not proxying.
That said, getting rid of the tunnels and using IPv6 directly would be much cleaner and reduce overhead.

linux ipv6 streamreading software

[lethalwp]

xmms-ipv6 patched failed for me, as mpg123 latest version failed (wanted to use my v4 to read v6)
so here is a little trick on how to read the stream:

use latest mpg123 & an ipv6 enabled lynx:
lynx -dump http://ipv6.lkml.org:8000/difm | ./mpg123 -v -

or use latest cvs mpg321 with a read-patch applied (which is in the bug list of sourceforge mpg321 project), else it will read the stream too fast
and use same kind of command than before

Sigh...

Good... Maybe someone else will have better luck convincing Nullsoft that ipv6 actually IS desired:

Btw, same goes for ipv6 support in Mozilla for windows... the *nix versions have had ipv6 support for a while now, right?
Are there any other ipv6 alternatives for windows? IE and Windows Media Player both have ipv6 support for win2k sp3 and up as well as XP, but I'd rather not use those if possible.

not exactly, a mate of mine has been running a little streaming of his own using icecast2 and ogg vorbis via ipv6 for a while..

IPv6 streaming - simple

[riflemann]

I've also hacked my own copy of icecast2 to accept connections over IPv6, and now listen to TripleJ and various other Sydney-based radio stations regularly online.

Just playing my part to support the adoption of IPv6..

My IPv6 Ogg Vorbis stream keeps me sane!

Or for those without AAAA DNS working:
