What just happened?

Certain music streams from Sona FM are unplayable in the official viewer. However, they play just fine in Winamp and some TPV's. (Like Catznip)

A few example links:
http://ice6.somafm.com/illstreet-128-mp3
http://ice4.somafm.com/illstreet-128-mp3
http://ice1.somafm.com/illstreet-128-mp3

What were you doing when it happened?

This bug was raised by someone else in the Builder's Brewery group, so I went to test this myself.

Apparently sometime yesterday (2021/09/15) SonaFM made changes to their system. For whatever reason, the viewer media player does not like these changes and the media now refuses to play.

What were you expecting to happen instead?

The media should be playing just as it would any other media.

Other information

Honey Puddles did extensive investigation on this, and Aishagain discovered the initial issue.

As a comparison item, this stream from digitiki.com does function properly. http://184.154.43.106:8380/stream

SomaFM are blocking the FMOD user agent string. This issue was also reported on the FS Jira and I debugged it.

I have emailed SomaFM - Its on them to remove the block.

Not a viewer bug. Not an FMODStudio issue either. Catznip viewer is probably not using Fmodstudio for streaming.

Yes - FMODex is the Predecessor of FMODStudio - its actually obsolete. It will probably work because the user agent string for FMODex will be different.

Anything using FMODStudio will be affected since it appears Soma FM have blocked any user agent containing 'FMODStudio' in its name.

I agree with what has been said in the comments:

curl -A "FMODNOTStudio Test" http://ice6.somafm.com/illstreet-128-mp3 --output tmp

streams in audio as expected.

{color:#de350b}curl -A "FMODStudio Test" http://ice6.somafm.com/illstreet-128-mp3 --output tmp{color}

 aborts immediately.

Soma FM appear to be blocking clients based on their agent IDs.

Hello Rachelle and everyone,

Our developers have reviewed this issue and it is in fact that Soma FM is preventing playback from FMODStudio (how parcel media is played in world), in Second Life.

This is not a Second Life viewer issue, and is therefore expected behavior.

That said I have raised this concern with our Product team too, in case there is anything we might be able to do about it.

Thanks!
