• A student is looking for help on tropical cyclone prediction. Please fill out the survey linked to this thread: https://stormtrack.org/threads/storm-and-hurricane-intensity-prediction-survey.32957
  • After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Netscape is your friend. Winamp brings it right up.

Sure wish we could hear the other frequencies!

People keep going to "car to car."
 
I got it to work with RealPlayer

Btw... they gave a Code 4 on the Children's Hospital Situation. "No further assistance required."
 
That's weird... I dunno, Jeff. Other than making sure you are doing an "Open URL" or "Open Stream" (instead of "open file"), I don't know why it won't work.

That's it. Came up first try. You are using Netscape, right?

I've tried every browser I have (IE, Firefox, Netscape)... I don't think it has to do w/ the browser; I think it's related to the media program that the browser is associated with... In other words, the actual browser doesn't play the stream, but it loads another program that plays it (Windows Media Player, WinAmp, etc)... Regardless, I've tried all browsers, and 4 media players (WMP, WinAmp, QuickTime, and Real player). Oh well, I suppose my firewall may be blocking it.

Wait... have you tried opening it directly from the media players? That's what I did with Itunes.

Yeah, from browsers and straight from the media players. I don't have iTunes, and I'm not sure I want to add yet another media player to my system. LOL thanks for the helps guys, but I think I'll just bypass this stream since I don't want to clutter this thread further.
 
I was having trouble listening to streams until I updated to Netscape 8 last week. You might try that. Just takes a sec.
 
Don't worry Jeff, it quit working for me too. I was using Mozilla Firefox and Windows Media Player to play, and now it doesn't work - says it can't be found. I guess it's just hit or miss, they probably have a limit on how many people can be connected, if it's more than XX amount, the server either boots people, or blocks access until someone else quits listening.
 
Not that anybody cares, but I finally got in. I just tried loading it into WMP repeatedly... After about 25 tries, I finally go in. I assume there are only a little number of connections, thus the "file not found" when all connections are used.
