    "setup.sh" is an executable and after the double click, no count of how it ran. After that if you enter rhythmbox and check the shoutcast options, after that you should see a "rayito" type winamp in the left column. I did it like this and in the first one it came out.
    Thank you!!!

    Query: can you add a radio that is playing with flash? (http://reproductor.cienradios.com.ar/player/La100) From already thank you for your time!

    I download the plugin, unzip it, open the file "stup.sh."
    I go to Rhythmbox I give it to edit, then to add-ons but I don't get the shoutcast

    Hello! Look, if I remember correctly, I think the Rhythmbox plugins are stored in: ~ / .gnome2 / rhythmbox / plugins /
    In that case, find the folder and / or files corresponding to the plugin and delete them.
    Cheers! Paul.

    Good day.
    The plug in works wonderfully, I already had it installed since I saw this post.
    My problem is that by my mistake, I ran the script again, and now SHOUTcast does not appear, it still appears in the options of the pulgins, and I mark and uncheck it again, I restart rythmbox and it no longer seems that it can be activated. I ran the script again, reinstalled rhythmbox after removing it completely and still the shoutcast option still appears in the plugins (even after reinstalling it and without running the script) but it no longer works.
    What else can I do? how a plugin could be completely removed, or repaired. The truth is, this function was sorely missed from winamp, and I would like to have it back.
    Thank you very much in what you can help me.
