(Nothing happening, click here to find out why)

Al Ansaar Radio is now broadcast on the web using cutting-edge streaming technology over a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) stream delivery network. This streaming solution is powered by the Antfarm and Digital Biomes

All you need is Microsoft Windows Media Player, which is currently available for a variety of computer platforms. If you are running Windows XP, the media player is already pre-installed. If you're ready to listen live, Click on the Listen live NOW icon above , If it's not yet installed on your computer, or you would like to download the latest version, click on the relevant link at the bottom of this page.

Getting connected

• Once you have the correct version of Windows Media Player installed on your system and have made certain that embedded controls are supported by your browser, simply click on Click on the listen live NOW icon above

• If you are prompted by your Internet browser to Allow Active X controls & pop up windows you will need to click yes as the technology uses both facilities.

• The Player will run and there will be a slight pause while you connect to the network, you will get a message about buffering - and after getting to 100% buffering, you should receive Al Ansaar Radio 103.3 fm loud and clear.

• If the audio reception seems slow or broken, please set the buffer in Windows Media Player to 30 seconds or more. This means the player will preload more of the audio before starting the stream, in order to compensate for occasional bandwidth difficulties, such as when downloading big files or surfing graphic intensive sites whilst trying to listen.

What seems to be the problem?

• I see the sponsorship logo but see or hear nothing else?
  Your browser cannot open the embedded Media Player either because it is not supported by the browser or because your browser's security settings disallow embedded controls - If you are using IE, Netscape or a Mozilla browser, check your browser's security settings and make certain embedded or ActiveX controls are allowed.

• Failed connection:
  Your connection to the internet is not stable or faulty or the network delivery source is too busy or down (this very rarely happens!) Check your connection - wait a little, then please try again.

• Stream keeps breaking up and dropping:
  Congestion in the Internet... or congestion on your line? The latter is usually the case - try to reconnect with a faster Internet connection; if using an analogue modem, use less bandwidth by shutting down existing browsing or downloading sessions.

• Repeated failed connections:
  The streams may be having difficulty reaching your player due to an unsupported or blocked stream protocol. If you are running on a network that uses a firewall, check that streaming on port 8000 is not blocked; you may need to consult your IT department support staff concerning this...

• P2P client control does not install:
  If the Rawflow P2P control does not install successfully, you may need to configure the browser security settings to allow this - click here for a brief tutorial of how to allow the installation of ActiveX controls for Internet Explorer.

• Dropped stream connection:
  If the audio reception buffers for a while and then stops after a period of stream playback, an automatic re-connection attempt will be made to the closest available streaming peer - this may time out if no peer is found within a reasonable period of time. If this happens, press the play button on the Al Ansaar Player or refresh the Al Ansaar Player window by pushing F5 on your keyboard - this will force a re-connection to the peer-to-peer network and connect you to the stream again.

• Frequently Asked Questions

Listening from behind a company or personal firewall or proxy:

Firewalls and PC protection software can sometimes block your PC from receiving internet streams. You may need to open additional ports in your firewall to enjoy streamed content. Often your default media player setting is to use your browser proxy - which may be preventing the stream from coming through. The quickest way to check is to run the player and access Tools....Options.....Network and set HTTP to use no proxy (none). A tutorial that briefly describes how to configure most firewalls to work with Windows Media streaming is available from Microsoft's Windows Media site.
