How to stream Internet radio in a browser?

  • 772

I am trying to stream a Internet radio station using a browser. It appears like it is loading but I don't hear any sound. This is the station I am trying to stream: http://tunein.com/tuner/?StationId=68906 (It is a regional radio station and is in Tamil.)

When I try to stream it in Rhythmbox, I get the following error message:

Required plugin could not be found Python (v2.7) requires to install plugins to play media files of the following type: text/html decoder

I don't think this is a network firewall problem because I can listen to the radio when I am on Windows 7. I am expecting it to be an issue of a missing plugin.

    Install GStreamer plugins for mms, wavpack, quicktime, musepack Install gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad.

    After restarting the browser and clicking the link, it asked to install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg Install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and Chromium played the stream.
