must be a firewall on your pc ...
 
Usually a site here should look like this at the top of the page:

(I hope you can understand my following description :angel:)

Tune In Box
On Air Now Box on the right​

HOME | PROFILE | MEMBERS | CALENDAR | RESIDENTS | SEARCH | CHAT | STORE | DONATE

Google Advertisement​

Notices-box:

and so on and so forth
Click to expand...

I had the same problem in the beginning and the On Air Now-box always shows me this:

Connecting to server. Please wait...
Click to expand...

A few days later I found out that I had a Content Blocker enabled. After disabling it (or especially the parts of it that blocks this site) I always see the actual show displayed in the On Air Now Box.

Are you using Firefox with the Adblock Plus Addon or something similar?

This could be the reason for your problem.

If you are using Firefox with extensions such as Adblock Plus (+ Filterset G) and/or NoScript, be sure to either disable them while browsing the website here,or make ah.fm an exception for each of the content blocker extensions you have.

Edit: woops..Squall beat me to it..

I'm using a Firefox on Mac OS X. It's worked previously but now doesn't? :( I have tried using Safari and that works ok so it must be a Firefox problem. I don't have any Ad-Blockers installed/running. I've attached a picture to show you what it says.:crazy::confused:
 
It might be noscript, if you're connecting from a uni or something they might have streaming blocked. Do you also have the appropriate adobe flash plugin? The "on air now" box uses adobe flash player 9

I'm connecting from home. It's just a bit odd, cos like I say, it did used to work. I have the latest Flash Plug-in installed and I've looked through all the Firefox pref's to no avail. :( Guess I'm stuck with it for now.

Oh and I've also sent Firefox a feedback form thing highlighting the problem. I shall see if anything comes back from it.

In the FF Tools/Options/Privacy tab (prolly different funky names on the Mac) you can set to clear cache everytime you close the browser. also helpful to clear your tracks when visiting certain sites, erm, uhm, obviously christmas shopping sites and stuff...:)

On air now - not working

Hi!

Dunno if it has been posted before, but in the upper right corner, it says 'Connecting to server. Please wait...'. I'm interested in a flash or AJAX method of retrieving metadata from a radio stream (also for my own little radio station for friends), too. If it isn't working for you either so It's not just me who can't see the 'now playing' in there, we could figure it out together how to make it work. :)

I have Firefox 3.0.10. And in the world of quality web design there shouldn't be differencies in browsers -.-
 
threads merged....


the box works fine in all browsers
